Bedfordshire Lace Making
by Pamela Nottingham
A manual for those who wish to learn Bedfordshire and for those who want a summary of its various techniques, based on a comprehensive range of patterns. After a brief section on preparation and materials, the basic techniques - footsides, plaits, picots, leaves and crossings - are described and there is a section on edgings - both elementary and more advanced - as well as a large range of patterns, 40 with point ground and honeycomb fillings and 20 for collars, cuffs, yokes and edgings using Lester and other pattern drafts. Clear patterns, diagrams and black and white photographs throughout.
In excellent condition except for bumps to jacket. Remains of previous owner's sticker on back of jacket.
