This book is worth looking at on ebay, not only because of the generous
excerpts and examples shown by the seller, but to read the seller's
description. He/she is either quite passionate about lace or a very good
salesperson.

Dear Jenny on the lookout for old books for us)--
Thanks so much for spotting that book. These sorts of things seem to have been put
out by various thread-making companies at that time: we've seen others, but probably
not as nice.
The thing is, we can get so many books through InterLibrary Loa

Dear Lace Friends,
I am stepping out of lurkdom to ask if any of you have knowledge of lace
patterns or lace work that has been done involving Hindu Gods and

Kali, etc. Bas

Hi everyone
I'm all for labour-saving steps - I seldom pre-prick a pattern, but if I
do, it is when the pricking is in place on the pillow. My pillows are of
straw or ethafoam - but only occasionally I make a pattern more than once.
Before Christmas I made a half dozen bangles from the same patter

I note the seller will provide a "Letter of authenticity and appraisal" on
their own headed notepaper. That's no authentication at all even if they do
know something about lacemaking, which doesn't seem like

I don't bother to pre-prick an entire pattern - it is too hard on my
