50 New Bobbin Lace Patterns - Claire Burkhard

Publisher : Batsford Ltd (5 Sept. 1993)

50 New Bobbin Lace Patterns by Claire Burkhard
Claire runs AtelierMB from Switzerland.

She is a prolific author who had published a number of books.
​
This book is one of her best know and certainly most accessible.

A number of the projects use a relatively small number of bobbins, which builds on the techniques used by Claire in her book Lace for Ten Pairs
What works well?
  • This book is multilingual: English, German and French
  • The book is well illustrated with photos of the lace throughout
Anything that we need to take into consideration?
  • A number of the larger patterns are not printed as a full pricking, but rather as a segment which then has to be put together after photocopying.
  • This book is currently out of print, but is often available on eBay
What do other people say?
The Lace Gumnuts site has also reviewed this book:
Full of fascinating projects, with the prickings fully drawn and making good working diagrams.  Some of her stuff needs a bit of thinking about, but it all seems to fall into place as you do it.  Mats, edges, motifs, a fan, collars and dress trims, all sorts of great ideas.
A recommended book for anyone’s lace library

    I'm the lace bee and these are my books

    With currently over 400 books and about the same number of individual patterns, I have an enviable library.  So here are some of my books.

    ​You can see all of the titles by opening up the archives or by clicking on the categories which I've used to group by authors, language and lace types.  Want to find a particular book?  Scroll to the top of the page, click on the magnifier glass and type in a title or author.

    I am very grateful to the lace gumnuts of Australia for permission to quote and link their reviews to this site.
