Traced Parchment Patterns for Lace
I have these 3 books. The first is an oversized (length and width, not
thickness) book of magnificent photographs, including close-ups of
Lester lace. There are no prickings but it's a great reference/eye
candy book because the pictures are so good that you can figure out how
the pieces were made. 'Patterns for lace' is a book of prickings with
photos of about half of them made up. The prickings have all been trued
up. The last book has copies of old prickings only. They would have to
be trued up or redrawn before making them. With your love for Beds and
with lace books going out of print so quickly, I'd suggest that you buy
all 3, even if you're not ready for them yet. They'll inspire you to
keep going!
