About Rose Rogers
Since I was unable to grasp the flip from my mother and grandmother (as they tatted very quickly), I finally taught myself from a book, looking at the photos very carefully, learning the Reverse Riego method of shuttle tatting.
I now tat using the modern method of shuttle tatting. Since I started tatting in 1977, I have done finger tatting (when the desire to tat is there, but no shuttle is available) and have also used a sewing needle to tat. Some of the Emmanuel Bocher Tatting Book patterns require the use of a sewing needle or finger tatting in order to complete the patterns.
On the Home page is the Original Rose Rogers Round Robin pattern from a tatting round robin I joined. As to the translation of the Emmanuel Bocher Tatting Book, Georgia Seitz was offering copies of the Emmanuel Bocher Tatting Book of 1912 in French. Georgia is a wonderful tatting teacher. When I wrote her, I siad that I planned to translate it for the tatting community, feeling everyone should have this book available. (I only know to translate to English, though.) I hope you enjoy the Bocher book and the patterns you may find here.
