Regina, i do agree it is a beautiful design, we saw the original artwork for
it last night. Earthy colours etc.
Will keep the group posted, I expect there will be much hilarity at our

Hi Andy,
In the following link, of the Digital Archives for textile documents,
go to the Lace section and make a search for Teneriffe. I'm sure
you'll find some books. And they are free to download... can't beat that! :-)
Hope this helps,

Again thanks to all who have helped me in my quest to get a decent

I have a really good book on Teneriffe it is called The Technique of
Teneriffe Lace by Alexandra Stillwell
It is published by Batsford and the ISBN No. is 0 7134 21932 it is an
old book so I am not sure if it is still in print but you could try
Amazon to see if they have any second hand ones.

Abe books have 3 copies for considerably less money, one is in Canada, two
in US. I find this an excellent site for out of print, rare and obscure
books, and most of the people that sell their books here are small

For anyone interested, there's a paperback copy on US ebay. So far with just
under 6 hours to go, there have only been two bids, and it currently stands
at USD11.50 with USD3.50 postage within the US.
