Tat-That! Modern Tatting Embellishments—A Fresh Twist on a Timeless Art
If you’ve ever looked at tatting and thought, “That’s beautiful, but isn’t it just for lace doilies?”—think again. Tatting is experiencing a modern revival, and I’m thrilled to share my newest online class that brings this classic technique squarely into the world of contemporary fiber art: Tat-That! Modern Tatting Embellishments.
This course is all about breaking traditions (in the best way) and showing how a centuries-old knotting technique can add dimension, charm, and personality to your quilts, textile art, and handmade crafts. Whether you're a curious beginner or an adventurous maker looking for something new, this class was designed to spark your creativity.
Why Tatting—Why Now?
Tatting has long been admired for its delicate lacework, but it’s also wonderfully adaptable, sculptural, and surprisingly modern when given the chance. In this class, I’ll teach you how to take the fundamentals of shuttle tatting and use them to create embellishments that feel playful, fresh, and full of movement.
Imagine adding tiny ringed centers to flower applique…
whimsical leaf-like accents to an art quilt…
or motifs that pop right off the surface.
These are elements you simply can’t get from machine stitching or standard trims — and trust me, once you get the rhythm of tatting, it’s almost meditative.
Who This Class Is For
- Quilters looking to elevate their embellishment skills
- Mixed-media artists wanting unique textures
- Craft lovers ready to try a calming, portable hand technique
- Anyone intrigued by fiber traditions reimagined for today’s makers
No prior tatting experience is needed—just a willingness to explore and play.
