SUMMARY- Georgia Seitz, one of the great champions of tatting, provided a comb-bound black-and-white compilation of the Riego tatting books, and kept it available for over a decade. This compilation came to me through a retired tatter who was looking for an appreciative home for a significant library of tatting books. I am so grateful for her contributions to the bibliography project, and for the support this project has received from so many unexpected sources. Thank you all. I could not have compiled so extensive a catalog so quickly without that help.
There's a delightful tutorial explaining pearl tatting with three shuttles using contrasting threads. The Maltese Square is exquisite and is comprised of discrete motifs earlier given for other uses and incorporated into a really lovely cloth.
