Heirlooms

Updated 1-8-22 Mother's tatting I found in her sampler tatting book. She gave most of her tatting pieces out of that notebook away.

Update 7-19-21

Tatting made my Shirley Stubblefield this is part of the leaf to the grape vine quilt she made. Mother could make anything she set her mind to do including put tatting between to pieces of glass and making her own design. She only made two items this one and cross then she went on to conquer the next challenge.

Updated 12-26-2020 Mother's memory is alive and living on for the next generations to enjoy! This picture was taken in my Son Jeremy and Daughter in Law Brittany's home today. It took my breath away because Mother is no longer here but her tatting is here for us to treasure. Her memory will always be with us, a little piece of her is always in our heart with memories to keep.

This tatting was a special birthday gift from Mother, it has sat on my dresser with a jewelry box for years. I love the colors in it, I had to move the jewelry box because my 4 year old Grandson Beau decided to dig for gold in it! (A memory that will last forever looking for a lost piece of jewelry that was later found after we took apart our bed!) I have always had a motto of "Making Memories", as I am getting older It's the memories and time spent with love ones that are so special! One of my Daughter in Laws, Brittany suggested years ago that I create a web page to keep track of my collection. That was a great idea, it means more now than ever before because I have record of where, who gave, purchased from most of the shuttles in my collection. The realization that others have shared in this web page is very special to me!

This is a scrap piece of Mother's tatting that was made into a special necklace for me for Christmas 2020! I found this piece of scrap in her home from the tatting I've had under my jewelry box for so many years. I love the necklace, I feel like a piece of Mother is with me when I wear it! My Daughter in Law Caitlyn is very creative! She made this cutting board for Christmas and engraved Mother's writing where she had written in my Bible.

82x96 Tattted bedspread tatted by Susie Landrum. She tatted one for all her grandchildren. I use to display it with ribbon as curtain, that is until Sadie Allison stated " Girl you do not know what you have here." It is now carefully packed away. I am one of the few grandchildren that still has her remarkable,time consuming work of art.

I thought I would put a face to my grandmother. This picture was taken when she was 98 years old. It was crazy hat day at the nursing home. She could no longer tat as she has a stroke that took her eye sight. She was still as funny and witty and a joy to talk to.
