7th ANNUAL TATTING DAY
August 25, 2007
9:30am - 3:30pm

Step back to a time of gentility when tatters would meet to renew acquaintances, show their handiwork, enjoy elegant food, and of course tat! Kaye Judt, author of “Oh My Stars!”, will take you on a journey through the evolution of tatting from 18th century knotting to the tatting of today as you make embellishments for your own Victorian tatting tote.
