Instructions in the Art of Making the Buckingham Pillow Lace
by Alexandra Stillwell
An excellent reference point to starting out in Bucks Point Lace
While writing the book ‘All about making – Geometrical Bucks Point Lace’, Alex became aware that the unfinished manuscript by Georgina Roberts was probably the earliest written record of the techniques used for the lace and, after completing her book, decided that, as it is an important as part of our lacemaking heritage, it should be made available to all as Georgina had passed away before the manuscript was completed
A lot of redrafting of patterns, drawing and adding missing text had to be undertaken before this was possible but the outcome provides a useful preserves and makes available to all lacemakers
However, before that could happen the patterns needed extensive truing up, the lace needed remaking and the diagrams referred to in the text, but missing from the manuscript, had to be drawn. I have preserved Georgina’s phraseology and wording as far as possible and hope that she would have approved of this edition
11 patterns complete with black and white photograph and additional line drawings included
