It has chapters on a variety of types of needlelace, with clear directions and great eye-candy for inspiration. Just my opinion, of course. Usual disclaimers. Robin P.

[lace] Question - good reference books for needlelace
I have only taken two workshops in Needlelace. My bobbin lace group expressed having a few meetings to learn needlelace. Can anyone share ideas of books that are good reference materials to support doing this? I know there are many books out there that would be great. I am looking for the idea of books that a needlelacer might go back to over and over as they try to learn new stitches and the techniques.

Re: [lace] Question - good reference books for needlelace
Hi Chris, I have two very nice books on Needlelace that would meet your requirements! The newer of the two is Needlelace, Designs and Techniques by Catherine Barley. Published by Batsford, 2001, ISBN 0 7134 8688 0. However, I am not sure but it may be OOP. The second book is needle Lace, Techniques and Inspiration by Jill Nordfors Clark. 1999, Hand Books Press, ISBN 0-9658248-5-3. I am fairly certain that this is also OOP. I went to Abe Books online and found copies of both books. However, I should warn you that the prices for Catherine's books are alarming! They range from $150 to $978!!! The prices for Jill's book(s) are more reasonable. Catherine is active on Arachne, and may be able to offer you more suggestions.
