Hi All,
If you want Bucks Point patterns with the 'wow' factor, why not look
through your back copies of 'Lace'?
What do you mean - you're not a member?! This is why we're members ;-) !
Lace 16/27 included a pretty edging from C.C.Channers 'Lacemaking
Point Ground' along with an edging from the late Mrs Bullock.
There is a super leafy circular mat, somewhat in the Channer style in
Lace 18/31
There were a couple of motifs in Lace 19/31 that are described as for
a hairbrush back or paperweight. Is it one of these that was
mentioned earlier? They are both lovely and the lozenge shaped one is
quite unusual.
Anne Collier had articles on and patterns of Lace Collars in Lace 23 & 24
There were edgings, insertions and motifs in Lace 8 pp18-19 and the
Waterlily edging was published in Lace 19/25.
Some of these were re-drawn from Luton Museum patterns. I have
photocopies of patterns from the Luton Museum and I believe many have
been "trued up" by others but not all of them. I see one deep flounce
is labelled 'Miss Pope, somewhere, Headington Hill, Oxford'. A wide
insertion is labelled 'Miss Pope, The Grove, Torquay'. I wonder if
they have been published anywhere, they would certainly make
beautiful and challenging patterns.
Lace regularly publishes a "challenge", an old pattern that needs a
modern interpretation. Given the popularity of the Channer mat,
perhaps something Channeresque from the Lace Guild's archive could be
found? (Jacquie?)
There are probably many more Bucks Point patterns in Lace, these just
happen to be the papers copied in the workbook I'm looking at.
Too many patterns, not enough time.
Best wishes,
Jane
In soggy Hampshire
