Wonderful finds. I love thrift store shopping and have found some wonderful things. I found a beautiful baby quilt that had the creators name on it. I searched and found her family. She had passed away and I shipped the blanket back to them. It really warned my heart and they were thrilled.
I love your passion for lace! I’ve been an avid crocheter since I was very young (my Great Grandmother taught me) and now I can’t wait to try tatting! 🌟
Very interesting‼️My grandma did a lot of tatting, but I never got to watch her when she was making her lace. My mom had a lot of Grandmas' sewing tools and gadgets, including her tatting shuttle. ( and her tiny spools of thread ) Mom would buy a pack of plain white washcloths and made a pretty lacey edging around each washcloth. She gave these to my two sisters and me for our 'faces only' washcloth ( mom called them ...Facecloths.) She told us the lacey edging was to remind us 'Faces only'😊 I don't know if she tatted them or crocheted them. I think she made these while we were in school😊so she could concentrate on what she was doing😁 Now I havê these tools and gadgets and always wanted to try. and tat something. Until I watched your video about 'beginner' tatting....I didn't know the shuttle opened up for a bobbin😮❗ Are there any books about "how to tat" ❓Hobby Lobby or JoAnn Fabric❓Thank you for this video ! I can't wait for "part ll"
Thank you so much for sharing these special treasures! I’m always in awe of the needlework of yesteryear. The patience and skill.... and the hours that were put into them is incredible! ❤️
Absolutely. When you can see just how much time is invested in making lace and doing all of the needlework, you can see that you’re really holding someone’s time and experience. I remember someone relating that to a quilt that she made. When she looked at it, she could see all the memories, experiences, and changes in her life that had happened while she was making it, and it made it that much more valuable to her.
I would love a video on how you manage doing bobbin lace with young kids in the room. My mom taught me tatting and always said she'd teach me bobbin lace, but now I'm almost 31 with 3 kids under 4 and it still hasn't happened. So I want to teach myself, but I worry about safety around the kids or finding time away from the kids if I can't craft around them. Any tips and tricks you've found helpful would help me a ton!
Good question. And not easily answered! I take lots of precautions for unsupervised and unintended access. So, everything is enclosed in boxes and/or high up on shelves. I have a sewing table, but it’s workbench height, so they can’t really see what’s going on unless invited up. That being said, as long as they are calm, I do allow them to “play“ with my pin cushion, sew with needle and thread, or be involved when I’m using the sewing machine. I want them to know that pins are sharp, and that they can have fun with them but they have to be careful and not get hurt. But the keyword is “calm.” If the collective kid energy is too high and there isn’t going to be any focus, then I stand at the worktable and keep things generally out of reach, or just do something else. Nap times are a blessing. Mom theory is so hard, because each kid is so different (I have three, all under 6) and they are all changing constantly. What might work one day, totally fails a month later. I try to keep flexible. As far as specifically bobbin lace goes, there aren’t too many dangerous objects. You have pins, but that’s about it. I try to keep as few out as possible, using only what I actually need for that pattern, and keep them all stuck in the roller or the pillow. That kind of helps. But, I found the bigger issue is not the pins, but the curiosity of having all those bobbins on the strings. They’re really inviting to curious kids. Often I don’t get very far, because everybody wants to do what mom is doing, and pretty soon the bobbins are being worked around all over the place and I just get more and more “lace” to undo before I can continue. 😊 It’s a challenge, for sure. Maybe I’ll start taking note of what we do to make things work, and make a little video about it. The footage would certainly be fun! 😊
@@BryceHistorically even that helps. Thank you. We don't have a good place for me to put sewing, knitting, spinning, and other craft stuff right now. But we'll be moving soon, so maybe I should wait till then to set up a good space.
Have you ever found anything that was woefully (or perhaps delightfully) mis-marked or mis-identified? 😊
It would be fun to see a video of your collection of vintage tools. I love old tools 🤣.

Wow, what a great experience! That’s so sweet 💕
The bag is Maltese Lace and may very well be original. What a beautiful find!!! Thank you for sharing!
Very sweet. I love finding things from the past that no one knows what they have. Makes it an adventure.
I love your passion for lace!
