Mimi has been tatting since the summer of 1982, when she taught herself the basics from a couple of general crafting books. (back when there was no Internet!). After moving to the Seattle area a few years later, she joined the Lacemakers of Puget Sound where she found mentors from whom to learn more. While cluny tatting has been a big focus, Mimi is also studying BEANILE lacemaking. Mimi has taught at several Shuttlebirds’ Tatting Workshops; three Palmetto Tat Days workshops, Georgia Seitz’ Online Tatting class, as well as workshops in California, Oregon and British Columbia. Her patterns have appeared in Tatting With Friends (Georgia Seitz, editor), the Bulletin of the IOLI, Canadian Lacemaker Gazette, and Lacemakers of Puget Sound and Heartland Lace Guild newsletters.
