A Manual of Hand-made Bobbin Lace Work - Margaret Maidment

ASIN : B01K0SCHL6
Publisher : Batsford Ltd (1983)
A Manual of Hand-made Bobbin Lace Work by Margaret Maidment
First published in 1931, this is still a great book that covers all the English styles of lace along with history and techniques.

​Illustrated with clear black and white photos
​
Whilst this was originally targeted at beginners, this is really more for the adventurous beginner who wants to add to their library.
  • Torchon
  • Honiton
  • Bedfordshire / Cluny
  • Bucks

What works well?
  • The history section is entertaining
  • The information on how to add in different filling is well presented
Anything that we need to take into consideration?​
  • The collar shown on the front cover is not included in the patterns in the book
  • This book is out of print, however, it regularly appears on eBay

    I'm the lace bee and these are my books

    With currently over 300 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

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