This scan comes from the Furness Tatting Designs book, No. 2., and was written by Marjorie Willis. All the designs in the book have Kiwi names.
I have a feeling this book was actually my Great Aunt Monica's book, rather than my Grandma's, as Grandma had told me that she never knew how to tatt, and was facinated when I used to sit under her house and work on my projects.
Funny little tip from the back of the book:
"Sprays and Posies which have become limp through humidity in the atmosphere or getting wet become as new by shaping the petals with the fingers, and drying in moderate heat. A posy perched on your shoulder whilst at the hairdressers will benefit by the drier. A further application of Gum Arabic is not needed."
