I have a bit of a confession to make….I don’t only create fiber art in the form of Tatting! I also do/have done alot of needlework and needlelace work. If you have read my bio (on my website) I mention that I grew up sewing, embroidering, knitting/crochet, etc.—anything fiber art related that I could get my hands on! Then as an adult I learned more refined needlelace techniques, many that I eventually taught at a regional and national level.

These include:

• Carrickmacross Lace
• Teneriffe/Sol/Nanduti Lace
• Romanian Point Lace
• Needle Lace
• Filet Lace (True)
• Smocking

I have had the pleasure to take & teach tatting to national needlework shows, where I had a goal of ‘converting’ cross-stitchers to lacemakers. It was at these shows that I introduced other unique needlework forms (including the above list) to the cross-stitch world including (to name a few that come to mine):

• Huck Embroidery
• Chicken Scratch Embroidery
• Ribbon Work
• Surface Embroidery Stitches (for Crazy Quilting)
• Crazy Quilting Patchworking
