Tat ‘n Chats can be simple or elaborate events - it’s up to you. The important thing is that you have a chance to visit with other tatters, and share experiences & tatting tips.
June 12, 2010: 10 members of the Fringe gathered together at Rosemary’s lovely Toronto home to tat ‘n chat. There was some great show & tell, and discussions about threads, books and magazines.
March 7, 2010: Nine tatters, including 2 new faces, attended the get-together in London organized by Deana and Carlene. A highlight was Rita teaching 3 needle tatters how to shuttle tat. If you are having difficulty getting the knot to flip with the “under-over / over-under” shuttle method, Rita’s trick is to try the old European method which is described in Rebecca Jones’ “Complete Book of Tatting” as Method #1 – The Reverse Riego Method.
November 14, 2009: About 10 people arrived at Norm’s in Mississauga with ‘works in progress’, questions and laughter to share. Sylvia was thrilled that Carlene taught her daughter-in-law how to needle tat. It was a wonderful day.
