Okay, Marilee and Carol. You two have been wanting to know all the secrets of the chest, so here they are! Please don't be deceived... this does not represent my entire shuttle collection! If I ever stop tatting, I'll be able to put all my shuttles in one place and count how many I have... who am I kidding? ; )

You have the most incredible shuttle collection. I must spread this news to other bloggers who tat. WOW!
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my blog today :-)

Ummm. Wow.
ReplyDeleteI love your shuttle collection. I have always wanted to learn to tat however have not done so as of yet. Your collection of shuttles and beautiful doilies inspire me. Thank you for sharing your cabinet of treasures with us. And thank you Pat Winter for blogging the link to us.
ReplyDeleteYour shuttle box and collection is beautiful! What a neat way to display them all :)

WOW - I thought I'd got a lot of shuttles but now I'm beginning to wonder!!!! I think it'd be a close call if there was a competition!!!!
ReplyDeleteWOW! I love the display! You have them beautifully organized. That chest is incredible! Did hubby make it for you? Where on earth did you get that?
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing that beautiful chest with the rest of us! :)
(You must be Sherry's BEST customer, LOL!)
That is amazing! Everything is so neat and organized! Very nice!
ReplyDeleteDiane, I'm just blown away at your collection. I just saw your other post showing the display case your Dad made, which I thought was awesome too, but now too see all this too. I am speechless. How do you decide what shuttle you want to tat with? What a wonderful collection!! Thank you for photographing and sharing! Hugs, Carol
ReplyDeleteWow!!! What a beautiful collection...I don't know what any of it does, but in your hands, amazing lace is created! The case your dad made for you is gorgeous, just perfect for your treasures! :o) Paulette
ReplyDeleteHi DIane,
ReplyDeleteI can't get over your shuttle collection... Took many years I bet...
I am learning to tat. I can do a bit of needle tatting but I haven't mastered the shuttle yet. The ONE!! I do have is a metal one with a bobbin in the centre. I find it too heavy and struggle with it.
I will get a lighter weight one when I can find one and hopefully I will catch on!! I thought tatting would be a nice compliment to crazy quilting..
Anyway... thanks so much for sharing this marvelous collection.
xoxo
((((hugs))))
