THE HISTORY OF TATTING
By Donna Kelly
"Many young girls and ladies
do not
use a needle in their
lives today."
In England, this lace was
called knotting. In France it was called frivolet. In
America it was called tatting. Many 19th century magazines, such as Godey’s and Harper’s
Bazaar, included tatting patterns and instructions in
their issues. In the 1940s, a magazine called The Work
Basket featured patterns for needlework tatting,
crochet, knitting, and quilting. It was popular for ladies
to make beautiful lace for themselves and their family.
