Yes, Sherry, I just printed out _www.vansciverbobbinlace.com_ (http://www.vansciverbobbinlace.com/) (USA) book list yesterday. She sells all of the Colgan books. There are at least two additional ones, but no mention of Milanese angel patterns: "Alphabet Inspirations in Coloured Bobbin Lace" $26.95, which I do not own and cannot review. Van Sciver describes patterns being simple bobbin lace stitches or the more complex Milanese tapes. In addition to alphabet, there are 24 additional patterns which take inspiration from alphabet. The following booklet I do have, and because lacemakers on Arachne frequently ask about wedding lace, I will describe for everyone. "Wedding Lace Portfolio", $15.95, 1995, 19 pages, spiral-bound, self published. Good for lacers with basic torchon skills/experience, and makes a coordinated lace set (prickings are basically the same for all items). Booklet Contents: 1. Wedding garter of hearts and spiders. 44 pairs, 2 pairs gimp (open mid-section for threading through ribbon, so it can be gathered on the ribbon and tied, instead of using elastic) 2. Garter edging of hearts and spiders: 24 pairs, 1 pair gimp (narrower with footside to mount on ribbon under which elastic is attached) 3. Wedding hanky of hearts and diamonds. 27 pairs plus 1 extra pair for whole-stitch trail if desired. Corners are turned, not gathered; can be made to size you wish 4. Small fan of hearts and spiders and whole-stitch trail. 38 pairs, 1 pair gimp and 1 single gimp. Fan designed to fit Springett's (England) miniature fan sticks. Egyptian cotton #36/2 or Brok cotton #36/2; DMC Coton Perle # 5 or #8 gimp, depending on item.. For each item there is pricking, working diagram, start instructions, pattern notes with verbal descriptions of relevant techniques, illustration of finished lace.

Does anybody know if Louise has any other lacing books besides the fan one and the Milanese book? I saw an angel that was designed by her on the internet once and I would so love to get this pattern. Since the angel isn't in either of the two books I have mentioned I wonder if she has another book out there that I don't know about. Does anybody know about her pattern for the Milanese Angel?
