Hi Helen,
There are patterns associated with the books and they are available from Lacis:
http://www.lacis.com/catalog/catalog.html
Look under 'Books' - Needlework Techniques, then under 'Lace' - Bobbin. It
is 'Bobbin Lace Patterns' by Ellen Lawrence. I have the patterns not the book.
Happy lacing,

Gentle Spiders,
I have a question born of a mix of curiosity and perplexity (I think).
Do any of you know if the 1979 reprint of "Bobbin Lace: designs and
instruction" by Ellen Lawrence and edited by the Kliots contained any
loose leaf pages with patterns/prickings on them? It's an unabridged
republication of the 1911 "Priscilla bobbin lace book: designs for
torchon, Cluny, Russian and Bruges laces with stitches and lesson for
working".
The editorial refers to copying the patterns to card stock, or pricking
onto card, but there are no patterns per se, so I'm curious if there
were once patterns and they're long gone or if there were never any
patterns at the start. (And before you scold me, yes, I know what
unabridged means, but not sure if that applied to loose leaf inserts in
this case).
A member of our Guild found a used copy and donated it to the library,
but there are no prickings for the patterns - just photos of the
finished pieces (except for the 'bandage' starter strip).
If you can answer my question, please email me off list.
Many thanks in advance.
Cheers,
Helen Bell,
Librarian, RMLG.
