We had our Christmas early, and my daughter gave me a book she found in a second hand shop. It is a 1974 reprint of a bobbin lace book, all in French. In the back of the book are cards with prickings, complete and not ever used.
The Title page says: Bibliotheque DMC Les Dentelles aux Fuseaux 1re serie Bobbin Lace with an English Translation by Mary McPeek Editions Th. de Dillmont Societe a responsabilite limitee Mulhouse (France) Republished by Gale Research Company, Book Tower, Detroit, 1974. I have all the prickings, but no translation by Mary McPeek, it must be a separate book that my daughter did not find. Someone has taped an ad for a Princess Lace loom in the front of the book, labeled April 1905 Modern Priscilla. Wow! Can anyone tell me more about this little book? Any suggestions as to where I could find the English translation? The book is in excellent condition, I found an old xerox of Pattern 24 in the pages, so someone must have made copies of the patterns and gave them a try. The prickings are Torchon, to my inexperienced eyes, and I am so happy my daughter thought to pick it up for me. She said it must be fate, since the book has a plain green cover, and she didn't realize it was bobbin lace until she opened it up and looked at the pictures. Thanks for any information you can give me!
