Jenny,
I have a couple lace flower books and no "Lily of the Valley".
In Lace Flowers by Joyce R. Willmot there is a pattern for the Snowdrop
flower which is a small flower. Maybe you could substitute it. I also have
Floribana by Anny Noben-Slegers but again no Lily of the Valley. That's two
books that I have checked for you, I'm sure there are others.

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.

Subject: [lace] Lily of the Valley pattern.
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.
