Why, yes... yes I did buy a few books... actually several, which is technically more than a few. Oh, you want to see what I bought? Alrighty then...
Although this isn't a tatting book, it is a lovely calendar by Sandra Eichelberger. The photographs are gorgeous, and I know I will think of my crazy tatting friend every time I look at it!
I'm sure I purchased Jennifer Williams' Tatted Snowflakes, but I don't know where it is. Now I have a backup copy!
Oh, how I wish I could read Japanese! This lovely little book is filled with step-by-step pictures of beautiful beading techniques. I'm pretty sure I can figure the patterns out from the diagrams and pictures. I love the flowers on the front!
Ben Fikkert's A Tatting Adventure is another book I'm sure I have somewhere. I had to make sure, though. Tim had thought of a costume for the banquet... carrying a shuttle and going as Ben Fikkert! That one made me laugh! There's a picture of Ben Fikkert in the front of the book. I don't think he and Tim look much alike!
It won't be long before I'm in the mood to tat snowflakes, so I felt the need to buy Karen Bovard's newest book, even though I am a split ring novice. I'm still trying, Jane!
I have several of Georgia Seitz's books, but I didn't have this one. I'd like to set a goal of tatting every snowflake pattern I own, but I'm afraid I'll stress myself out trying!
I love Christel Weidmann's books! I've read comments by tatters who feel her designs are too simple, but sometimes simple is what I need!
I'm guessing this book was available last year, but I didn't see it until this weekend. Who can't use more butterfly patterns?
Riet brought along extra copies of Ineke Kuiperij's books. There were three the intrigued me, but I chose to buy only one this year. Maybe I'll have the chance to go back to Palmetto Tat Days. If I'm lucky, Riet will be there with more books. I suppose I should have purchased all three, but I was trying to be good!
This was the most expensive book I bought. I couldn't help myself! I think I'd better justify my purchase and work on some of the patterns in here. I figure that every pattern I tat reduces the purchase price of the book. Isn't that what they mean by diminishing returns? ;-)
