LEARN SHUTTLE TATTING AT THE ATTIC WINDOW QUILT SHOP

 Have you ever wanted to learn how to do Tatting?  I remember watching my mother make the most beautiful doilies.  It seems that the ones I liked best were the ones she tatted.  Her shuttle would just fly.  She tried to teach me, but I could never get the hang of it.  We can learn now by taking Diana's beginning Shuttle Tatting class at the Attic Window Quilt Shop.

Diana's Beginning Shuttle Tatting class is Friday, October 14 from 10 a.m. to noon.  Above is what you will learn to make.  It is amazing to me!  Call the shop to register and get a supply list.

New information or techniques will be presented and help will be given for where ever a student is in their learning progress. Get inspired by other tatters through show and tell.

NEW...LEARN TO MAKE THIS...AND MORE

NEW! Take this Beginning Shuttle Tatting class at the Attic Window Quilt Shop on Thursday, October 16th, with Diana A.  Here is what she says about this new class.

The class consists of two 2-hr sessions.  You may choose from afternoon or evening.
Session 1 is Thursday Oct 16 from either 3-5 or 6-8.  This session will focus on learning the basic knot and how to make rings, chains, picots, and joins using a variegated thread.  Begin a length of simple edging that can be taken home to continue practicing with.  We will also discuss what each student wants to work on in the second session.
Session 2 is Thursday October 23 from either 3-5 or 6-8. In this session they will learn how to determine the amount of thread they need for a project, additional knot techniques, adding new threads, and how to finish off threads. Each student will be able to work on a project of their choice such as a snowflake, bookmark, and finer lace edging.   Additional sessions may be scheduled as students progress or have questions.  If someone wanted to learn but Thursdays don't fit their schedule they should contact the shop and leave their name and phone number and I will call them to try and schedule a mutually agreeable time.

Learn to make a Quilt-As-You-Go on Monday, October 13, from 10-4, with Caroll.

Make this striking Four Patch Fun quilt on Monday, October 20th, from 10-4, with Vickie S.

Saturday, October 25th, from 10-5, you can make this charming London City Bag with Lee Anne.  Wouldn’t it make a wonderful Christmas gift!
