about 6 or 8 different patterns from her.  Karen is  listed in the IOLI
directory, has written several articles for Piecework  magazine, and I think
she's on this list.

It does have some  patterns in it; 6, to be precise. As far as I
know, it's the only book that  has ever attempted the reproduction of the
Ipswich lace.

[lace] Ipswich lace prickings

2009-05-12 Thread Elise and Scott Hays
 Does anyone know of a book of prickings (preferably with diagrams) for
Ipswich lace? I have the book The Laces of Ipswich by Marta Cotterell Raffel
on order, but from what I can gather it is more of a history and has no
patterns.  I know that examples of the lace and prickings exist, but I don't
know if anyone has compiled them into a collection or diagramed them. I tried
to contact the Ipswich museum but they are closed till Memorial Day. Anyone
out there know of such a thing?
Thank you!
Elise
