Summary:
Traditional Bedfordshire lace was a cottage industry. In the 17th and 18th centuries, lacemaking skills were often taught to children in workhouses, who then sold the product to lace dealers. Bedfordshire lace is a hand-made lace, often called a bobbin lace or bone lace since the finished patterns of hand-twisted threads were wound on bobbins or bones. Traditional Bedfordshire lace, with its wonderful designs for flowers, leaf sprays, and grounds, has a growing appeal for the modern lacemaker. This book provides a thorough grounding in the techniques and the step-by-step instructions help provide the skills for tackling Bedfordshire patterns independently. The book is easy to use with compact patterns and clear diagrams. The large color display gives ideas for using and mounting the finished lace and shows the effectiveness of the colored threads.
