Would ould this have been something that Joyce Willmot did? I looked in my book & workshop (1986) material but found no lily of the valley.....could be that this is a later pattern? Judy Ward USA makes these flowers ( and bouquets) also, but I do not any of her patterns...unless I do a 'deep search', and I will if no one else finds them. BarbE

Hi all, I asked a couple of days ago about a pattern for some Lily of the Valley. I have remembered now where the pattern came from that my friend had some years ago. It was a bride's bouquet made up entirely of flowers made in lace. Roses, hyacinth pips and Lily of the valley, I think too there might have been stephanotis and one or two other flowers but can't remember it all. The bouquet was made by the members of the Itchen Valley Lace Makers and I managed to find an address and phone number for the group by googling for them. I phoned the number and the lady I spoke to said that they no longer had a copy of the pattern, I had asked if I could buy a copy. She said the bouquet was made by the group for one of the members who was getting married and that they entered it into the John Bull Trophy Competition run by the Lace Guild. I have been in touch with the Lace Guild to ask if they have a copy of the pattern. I thought that the Lace Guild produced a book of the best patterns of items entered into the JOhn Bull competition, perhaps I am wrong. I would have thought that the bouquet would have been amongst the best items for that particular year. I am waiting to see if the Lace Guild librarian can come up with anything. It was a beautiful thing as I remember it, though I saw the pattern about 10 years ago now, so not surprising that no one knows what I am talking about today. Regards Jenny DeAngelis.
