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
