Dear Martina, I met the American owner of The French Needle last Summer, and purchased quite a few French needlework books from her.
To purchase individual charts is quite costly. If you want to cross stitch the laces on linen, it might be less expensive in the long run to purchase the book "Dentelles Rubans" by Anne Van Damme, published by Mango Pratique (France), 2003, ISBN 2-84270-415-0. It is a 64-page hardback book about the size of the Mick Fouriscot series. There are many charts shown in color, and I paid about $28 U.S., to which you'd have to add postage and any sales taxes. For you, Martina, it would be much easier to buy from a European book supplier. Truly a beautiful book, from which you could adapt projects for your local lace or embroidery group. The author is Belgian, I was told.
