It’s nice to share your work with fellow tatters – - – people that can really appreciate your efforts.
Current Exchange - My Favourite Decoration
This exchange gives you the chance to tat your favourite ornament.
It could be something that hangs in a window, or on a tree or has a little sparkle in it to cheer up the gloomy months ahead.
You can even go 3-D if you wish.

Exchange Basics
In simple “one to one” exchanges - you send one tatted item to an assigned person, and a different person sends you a tatted item.
- We suggest keeping items simple, so easier and less expensive to send by regular post.
- You can use an existing pattern – or create your own. Recipients like to know where your pattern originated, and if you did any adaptations.
- It is very important that if you do sign up, you are sure you can find the time to make something for the person assigned to you. Unfortunately, in the past, we have had a few people who didn’t commit fully and left their recipient wondering what had happened to their item. An empty mailbox is no fun.
Want to share your exchange experience?
We hope to include pictures of items sent or received in the description of Past Exchanges (above).
Please send your pictures to FringeTatters@gmail.com
Suggestions ?
We’d love to hear your suggestions for themes.
And whether there are times during the year that work better than others.
Let us know if you are interested in participating in a larger group exchange (which would require more tatted items) or a round robin.
You can reach us at FringeTatters@gmail.com
