Meet the Tatting Whisperer

Hi my name is Murray Lincoln. I am now retired and loving the free time to create with my Tatting and Wood Carving, sometimes bringing the two together.

I began my journey with Tatting in 1975.  While visiting my Great Aunt in a Senior’s Home in Des Moines, Iowa, she told me the story of my Great Grandpa that was a Tatter.  As well he was a Wood Carver and had carved three Hickory Shuttles for his three daughters.  One of these daughters was my Grandma Lincoln.  My Grandma Lincoln may have been the greatest Tatter ever – so my Great Aunt told me. Grandma Lincoln Tatted from age 8 years until she passed away in her 80s.

Today I am a Tatter, so are my two daughters and also my Granddaughter Emma. Six Generations now have carried on this beautiful craft.
