The book contains 29 new designs, ranging from beginner to Bedfordshire, through to advanced floral designs. The first patterns have detailed instructions with diagrams and techniques included. The more advanced patterns have few instructions leaving the interpretation more open to the individual lacemakers preference. Quality photos throughout. Also included are tips for the lacemakers, some of which have not been published before.
