Can't answer the question definitively about this one, but if it's like
Nottingham's 2, it's possibly the same thing. Check the publisher of
your copy, and check the publisher of the ebay copy, as well as the
pagination and publication dates, if it lists it in the ebay record.
Also the ISBN. Sign

Hi Weronika! Nottingham's book "Bobbin Lacemaking" is the very best for a
lacer who lives in a lace desert. I taught myself lacing with that one and
still refer to it 20 yrs later. The lessons build on each other right from
the basic "bandage" through to Beds. When I aquired her next book, The

Tamara,
Well - what a surprise to come home to. A length of spidery material, and
made even more pleasant by the fact that I have very rarely won anything on
a raffle!
I am in the process of attempting to purchase a new sewing machine, and am
definitely looking forward to hemming the material t

My thoughts are with all you people in the path of Ivan, I cannot even
contemplate how I would feel if I was in your position, leaving your home

Weronika,
The 'Complete Book of English laces' is the same as 'The Technique of
BL' - both by Nottingham. It's the same book published under a
different title - 'Complete...' book I think is the US version of the
'Technique...' (UK version.) They have different OCLC numbers and
different publish
Is Brigita Fuhrmann's "Bobbin Lace: a Contemporary Approach" by any chance very
similar to her "Bobbin Lace: An Illustrated Guide to Traditional and
Contemporary Techniques", which I already have?
I sure hope not, because I just bid for it on eBay...

Weronika, don't bother with this one. Nothing but a lot of sketches (not
even very good ones) of the designs of some older pieces of lace--possibly

I signed up for an Ipswich Lace class in October
but I have a problem having someone watch me when I
do anything. I usually have to teach myself from a
book but I want to go to this lace in really bad.
My question is : is there some instructions and
patterns for a beginner on the net somewhere.

I do recall that Holly said that the Complete Book of English Bobbin Lace

I think it's true to say that Pamla Nottingham only deals with Torchon,
Bucks Point and Bedfordshire laces.
Don't know the 'Complete Book of English Bobbin Lace'.
'Bobbin Lacemaking' is a brief introduction to lacemaking.
'Technique of Bobbin Lace' is more comprehensive and really covers the

Hi,
Another book question... I've seen several books by Pamela Nottingham:
Technique of BL (the new one - I already have that), Bobbin Lace Making,
Technique of Torchon Lace, Bedfordshire Lace Making, and Complete Book of
English Bobbin Lace. How much do they overlap? If I already have Techniqu
