SUMMARY- This is not one of her tatting books - I've included it because all her books are in a numbered series, regardless of the discipline they are intended for. This is part of a series of books she did for J&P Coats, rather than her own studio. I still don't have enough of either series to give a complete listing of either. This booklet is all crochet. Ms. Orr was extremely influential in the discipline of tatting, but had a gift for design in other needlecraft disciplines as well.
