thanks for the review

I’m really grateful for private sweet messages, positive comments, and public demonstrations of appreciation of my book. Thank you everyone. I am humbled and flattered. My heartfelt thanks go to my lovely friends, who encouraged and helped me, in particular to Karen and Muskaan who translated the book in English and made it possible to bring it to many more tatters than I had ever imagined. 

I almost fainted when I read Anita Barry’s message, in which she informed me of her intention to write a review of my book. Few days after, when I read what she had written, well, I can't find the words, even in my native language, to express my feelings of gratitude. She’s so generous and very kind with my book! She’s a Master Tatter, a member of IOLI and the first ever tatter who completed the IOLI Tatting Proficiency. She also completed the Tatters Across Time Proficiency and now mentors others who participate in the Program. She was a teacher at Palmetto Tat Days for many years.

Anyone who knows me personally knows that I'm not good at self-advertising. So, I am thrilled - and a little shy and trembling - to tell you that Anita sent her review article to:
-    The Online Tatting Class,
-    The International Organization of Lace Inc. (I.O.L.I.),
-    The Ring of Tatters,
-    and to The Tatters Guild of Australia NSW Branch.
I feel honoured that Anita thought that all these important organizations would have been interested in the review of my book.

Also, amazingly enough, she told me the book is being added to the IOLI library! Wow!

You can already read Anita Barry’s review on the TOTC site (link - https://www.theonlinetattingclass.com/georgia-seitz-book-reviews )

I'm particularly delighted that she loved that I “challenge others to explore possibilities”. In her sweet words: “With her simple manner and with great passion Ninetta is “between art and craft”. She begins with vintage lace ideas, adds new techniques, resulting in new modern appearances. What a marvelous inspiration for tatters!” 

Anita’s review is an amazing gift for me, I had never thought of anything like this, and still, I feel I’m not doing anything special, just sharing my passion. As the sentence at the top of this blog says, it's all about my passion and my joy.
