Marie Antoinette Hees Book 5 cover

This vintage book was published by E.C.Spuehler of St. Louis, MO date unknown. The copyright information shows that Marie Antoinette Hees and Minnie North jointly share it. It is an instruction manual in the basics of tatting and includes many useful edgings for everyday objects. It offers 36 patterns and ideas for their use. And the publisher included a list of their publications (covers) on the back page.

This edging is listed as #7 and is also seen in a wider form attached to a handkerchief on page 9. The photo on page 9 is surrounded top and bottom with text. Above is pattern, #22. The original edging #7 shown on page 5 has the directions on page 9 below the hanky photo.

Study the image a moment. Hmm.. how many passes across will it take to tat this pattern?

Just One!!

It is just like following the yellow brick road. A few twists and turns and it guides the pattern to the end.
