Lots of Torchon with a few Beds and Bucks patterns in 'Lace for Church Use' by Marie-Clare Downham, published by Batsford in 1989.
BUT, I have to say I don't see why most of these patterns are in the book (or conversely why the book has this title) as only one of the Torchon pieces has a cross, and that's more like a maltese cross than a crucifix,  and one of the Bucks ones has bells along the edges but the use of bells is found in many religions. As the shapes you wish to use are fairly simple, could you find a narrow Bucks edge and add plain ground to the width you want, then draft your chosen Christian symbolism (cross?  fish?) within that ground Jacquie in Lincolnshire -------- Original message -------- >From AGlez <[email protected]> Date: 27/01/2014 13:32 (GMT+00:00) To Arachne <[email protected]> Subject Re: [lace] Christian Church Lace There are about six or seven patterns for church clothes in one of Koretelahti's books. They are lovely, and different, if you like Korthelati's designs and don not mind it not being Bucks. The book is "Nypl�ttya pitsia" (bobbin lace) ISBN 951-99305-9-0 You can probably buy it directly form her or I have also seen it second hand somewhere. Her web site is http://www.pitsipirtti.fi/ Good luck!
