Discontinued and/or out of stock item - price and details may not be current and stock may not be available.
by Bertha Kemp

The author sets out comprehensively her knowledge of this lace which she first learned as a schoolgirl in 1917 in Downton, Wiltshire.

After a section on the basic stitches, the various traditional patterns - each with its sometimes quaint name such as "Egg & Rasher", "Cheese Cutter" and "Roll & Pat of Butter" - are fully described, graded as Introductory, Intermediate and Advanced".

Black-and-white photographs and clear working diagrams illustrate the patterns and techniques throughout.

In essentially as-new condition except for very minor rubbing/abrasions to cover. Original price label on rear cover.
