Shuttle Exchange with Tatting Goddess



Isn't she a truly rare beauty? A red Clover shuttle embellished by Tatting Goddess with sparkling gems. It looks so luxurious and it tats well too. The gems did not get into the way too much. I love it . . . and the story that came with it.

Also included the in the package (besides a string of red crystals, two wire circles and a teatime postcard) was this little pin keeper. The bead in the centre is magnetic and the pin is securely attached. On the retractable end you could attach your crochet hook. I decided to attach my picot gauge because I lose it very often in the folds of my clothes when tatting. This is ingenious. I have seen this retractable card holders before but never thought of using it this way. The tatting which Gina put on is such a clever personalisation and it matches my self made picot gauge. I am really going to enjoy this. Thank you so much.

  8. Hmmm, story about the red clover shuttle. All I am saying is that it was red and plain-looking on a shop shelf in Aussieland, acquired by someone who visited from oceans away, taken care of in a loving home, encrusted in beautiful jewels and gifted to someone who will treasure it always.
