Re: [lace] Luton Lace Dealer's Pattern Book
A friend just let me know that the new edition is finally available from Luton Museums, I am told the DVD is a great addition. And in the postcard section I found a set of Thomas Lester pattern designs, http://www.lutonculture.com/shop/shop/books-and-media/the-lace-dealers-patter n-book/http://www.lutonculture.com/shop/shop/books-and-media/the-lace-dealers-pattern-book/ This is the first of a series of books showing collections from our museums. Are patterns to work the pieces of lace featured actually included? Karen in Malta - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.

Re: [lace] Luton Lace Dealer's Pattern Book
I saw these on their website recently, and can't wait to see them in person. I'll be visiting the museum next week and already have the book and postcards on my 'must have' list.

This new revised book includes images of all forty-two sheets of lace samples from the original book (1998), which were conserved by the Textile Conservation Centre. Also included for the first time is information about the samples shown on each sheet, and a simple challenge invites the reader to find a detail within the samples. A DVD also accompanies this book, which allows detailed viewing of each sheet. price £19:99, they accept online purchases via paypal. But the site is very slow - all those lacemakers ordering their fix I'd guess.

RE: [lace] Luton Lace Dealer's Pattern Book
Hi Karen, No patterns as far as I know, just high quality photos of the samples. Someone, Sally Barry, I think, has drafted some patterns and published a few over the years. Stephanie Peters has some more info on the original on her website if you google for it. The pattern book comprises about twenty pages of small samples of mainly Bucks Point lace, with a few pieces of Bedfordshire, mounted on paper. The pages were in a leather bound book that originally belonged to a dealer, possibly John Spencer of Wellingborough, Northamptonshire. Two of the pages are of black lace, the remainder are white. The book was used to show what lace was available for private order. Louise From: Karen M.

Re: [lace] Luton Lace Dealer's Pattern Book
Some years ago, when the Canadian Lacemaker Gazette was being produced in Ottawa, we held a workshop to learn how to draft patterns and we drafted a number of patterns. Whether they were from this same publication or not, I don't know. The patterns were put together and sent to then current subscribers as a gift.

RE: [lace] Luton Lace Dealer's Pattern Book
Yes, you're right. Sally Barry has self-published a series of four books called the Luton Lace Treasury. Here's the link to Sally's website: http://www.gis.net/~scbarry/online_catalog.html http://www.gis.net/~scbarry/online_catalog.html where you can order the books directly from her. She lives in Massachusetts, and it's not clear if she will ship overseas.
