SUMMARY: Anitra Stone had a small stash of this newsletter in her library and graciously allowed me to borrow them for reviewing and cataloging purposes. I want to thank her for this kindness. Without her, the beginning of this page would not have been possible. I have since had an anonymous donation of the first 12 years of issues! I'm a little giddy from hyperventilating as I write this. I've been getting more and more donations in the last couple of years as word of the Bibliography Project spreads. I am deeply grateful for all the help that has come my way.

I'd heard about this newsletter for the few years I've been in contact with the general tatting community. It is well known and popular - and still chugging away as of this writing(March 2015). Most newsletters died as the internet grew in popularity and postage prices went up, and up, and up. I have been privately curious how Karey Solomon has managed it for 23 years - and I had to laugh as I had an "Aha!" moment when I finally held one in my hands. They are quarter page-sized, and thin enough they could be mailed with a letter stamp! Sure her postage costs went up with everyone else's - but not nearly as much as it would cost to mail a full-size or even half-size newsletter. Mystery solved! Clever Karey even manages to send a sample of something in the August issues.

All photos are black-and-white, and the paper is what you can easily run through a printer or photocopy machine, so her overhead costs are minimal. She doesn't sell ad space, so what you get are a surprising number of patterns in each issue, mostly Karey's, but there are other fairly regular contributions. She also gives you book reviews, news on new threads(and sometimes samples with the issue so you can play with it and see if it suits), shuttles, techniques, and of course a listing of events. Oh, and there's an occasional recipe on the inside back cover. But the real frosting on this information cake is the little stories sprinkled throughout the issues from subscribers about incidents they had while tatting. I love those little stories. They are often funny, and always charming, and occasionally even insightful. I believe they are what makes a newsletter a newsletter.

Most of Karey's patterns end up republished in her book collections - all of which I have. I'm a serious fan. She doesn't block her samples - which drives me crazy - and the photography often leaves a lot to be desired after being run through a photocopier several hundred times - but her instructions are always crystal clear, and I've used so many of her patterns for various projects and gifts. She is prolific and talented. I always go through my Solomon books first when I'm looking for a specific type of pattern because she has covered so much ground...

Finding stashes of any of the tatting newsletters has proven extremely difficult, as like myself, we all have had difficulty finding enough patterns over the decades, so those who do have them guard them jealously. I sympathize. I always have a pang of guilt when I pull out the two massive binders that contain my biggest treasure - all the patterns "Workbasket" ever published. I have an insane urge to photocopy the 1000 pages or so and give away sets to all the ladies in my guild to erase that wistfull expression in their eyes as they leaf through the notebooks. I get that same look still when leafing through another member's treasured stash - it's ingrained from so many decades of searching. The internet has been instrumental in reviving this "dead" art and helping it flourish - but like survivors of the depression era, we still have the impulse to hoard everything to do with tatting. Especially since the vast majority of tatting books over the last 30 years have been self-published. Without the internet, the designers would have had a lot less success in finding their intended audience. And because of the internet's ability to share and spread ideas quickly, tatting has gotten a great deal more sophisticated, and evolved a standardized notation that can spread innovations and ideas even across language barriers now. I find this thrilling! Karey Solomon has been one of the cornerstones in this regenesis, and should feel justly proud of it.

As of the end of 2016, Karey has the first 20 years(!) of Tatting Times available on CD for those who missed them the first time 'round the ferris wheel. She donates the proceeds to a very worthy women's charity that buys specialized medical equipment needed to correct a debilitating injury women end up with after difficult child births. The CD is a steal at $25!!! That's over 400 of Karey's patterns for a ridiculously low price. Buy Karey's books - she always picks a theme so you can pick and choose what interests you - but buy this CD too. Here's the link for the Fistula Foundation

Ms. Solomon has a website where she sells supplies and books: http://www.gracefulartsfiberstudio.com/index.html .

And she's a member of the Finger Lakes Tatting Group. You can also find the group on Facebook.
