That's great news regarding books, as I have Torchon for Today and A Manual of Bedfordshire Lace (both OOP) that I just (like an hour ago) won on eBay, coming in the next week or two. Perhaps I'll tackle Torchon for Today before I attempt Beds.
I have been at it for a couple of years on and off, yes, and that's one of my problems - I have gone too long between times practicing, and need to start over each time. Maybe Torchon for Today will give me a better skill set. Introducing Traditional Bedfordshire Lace in 20 Lessons is still in print, so I can get that from Holly VanSciver, I believe. I'll probably buy that one since you've recommended it. I do want to go on to Milanese and Bruges and Duchesse (I have one book on each type) eventually, and I hope Beds will be a good beginning step on the way there. Thank you for your thoughtful reply, Tamara :) Gina -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Tamara P. Duvall Pam Robinson's " A Manual of Bedfordshire Lace" (1985) is the one I used when having my own stab at Beds And, Barbara Underwood (head-to-head, with Christine Springett, "guru" on Beds) has a book "Introducing Traditional Bedfordshire Lace in 20 Lessons" (1993). But, the skills I got from Fisher's "Torchon For Today" were more than enough to carry me through the beginnings of Beds, and Russian, and Milanese. --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free.
