Lessons in Bobbin Lacemaking

Lessons in Bobbin Lacemaking by Doris Southard

You start by making pillows, bobbins and prickings from directions provided. Then you're on to samples and edgings with different beginnings and before you know it you're turning corners and joining. One of the reasons for the book is so you can set up a new pattern on your pillow, hang on the bobbins and work form a photo. The jewel is the final chapter with exquisite tablecloths, a baby cap, and other pieces to whet your appetite. List of suppliers, organizations, numerous photos. Diagrams for stitches and prickings.
