> here here...I love Waterlily and HATE corners. They never did corners in the > old days. I don't see a need to now. > Pamela Nottingham's book " The Technique of Bucks Point Lace" has a chapter devoted to 'Fine Old Bucks Point Patterns'. This chapter includes many examples of corners in Bucks point, many of which are truly beautiful (imho)! Some of the designs say that the corner is a modern addition to the pattern, but not all of them have that qualification. So are these corners part of the traditional old patterns?
On page 53, at the start of her chapter on corners, she says that 'most of the corners for the narrow, traditional edgings have been designed within the last 30 years to satisfy the needs of the modern lacemaker'. to me this implies that the more complicated floral Bucks patterns, for wider edgings, may well have had corners designed for them. If you are wanting to go on to design corners for Bucks point, Pamela Nottingham gives instructions for ways of tackling them Sue [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
