A Visual Introduction to Bucks Point Lace by Geraldine Stott
When this book came out in 1985 it was considered a game changer as it used three colours in the diagrams;

• Red for cloth stitch (CTC)
• Blue for half stitch (CT)
• Black for weaving and gimp threads)

​In addition to using the colours in the diagrams, each of the patterns has clear instructions on how to work them.

Bucks Point lace traditionally was made in straight pieces so Geraldine not only trued up a number of traditional patterns for this book but also designed corners to go with these patterns.

What works well?

• The book takes you through from the basics of Bucks Point step by step
• The use of multi-coloured diagrams really help in learning the techniques

Anything that we need to take into consideration?

• This book is out of print, but readily available on online book sellers, eBay and through lace suppliers
