SUMMARY- This is not one of her tatting books - I've included it because all her books are in a numbered series, regardless of the discipline they are intended for. This is part of a series of books she self-published through her own studio, rather than J&P Coats or American Thread Company, the thread manufacturers. I still don't have enough of either series to give a complete listing of either. This booklet is exclusively filet(lots of lovely pieces!).

Ms. Orr was extremely influential in the discipline of tatting, but had a gift for design in other needlecraft disciplines as well. My goal is to put together a complete run of all her books. I was very happy to add this one to the collection.
