Handy Hands

Handy Hands is a company dedicated to the beautiful art of tatting and related needle arts. As with many others who tat, at Handy Hands, tatting is a family affair. More than two decades ago, at the suggestion of her brother-in-law, Barbara Foster used a typewriter, 35mm camera and a photo tent in her dining room to produce the company’s first tatting book, The Art of Needle Tatting. Barb and her husband Jim’s then-seven-year-old daughter Rebekah who also could tat was featured on the cover. Through many prayers and hours of hard work, the Handy Hands tatting company was born in 1990.
