Dad's Tatted Tablecloth.
He was running around dragging out all his tatting (that he hasn't given away!). This is not pressed as it was being stored. I also made a close up pic.

This is a tablecloth, probably 3 feet in diameter. It's huge.
I thought it was big but not THAT big. Jan

This is amazing work. Does he remember how long it took him?

I believe he said about 3 months for these big ones. He's made more than one!

Thank you. I will tell him. He's so tickled that you guys all like his work.
He also taught himself to knit and crochet. Mom said he used to knit things for my sister when she was a baby.

I don't think I've ever seen so many, large, intricate and FINISHED tatted items as you've shown us. Your Dad puts me to shame as I've got bits and pieces of tatting I did years ago. Jan

When I was taking pictures, he said he didn't realize he sat around for that many hours! Winters are cold here and that is when he does it.

Please get him to teach someone young. This is an art in itself. Such beautiful work. See if he would teach a youth group of girls at church. He does such magnificent work.

One of my daughters could do it when she was younger. I will have to have him reteach her.
