This book has been reviewed on the lace gumnuts site
The result of a UK Lace Guild Triennial Lace Competition and exhibition in Northampton’s Delapre Abbey. Several lacemakers met at the Abbey, took photos of various features, and designed laces of all types based on those features. Types of lace include Torchon, Milanese, Bedfordshire, Bucks Point, Needlelace and tatting, 24 patterns in all.
The key difference between Maltese lace and Bedfordshire is the inclusion of the iconic Maltese Cross in many of the designs. Focusing firstly on the history of the lace, this book goes on to take you through different patterns to learn the techniques. Consiglia has also produced a book of historical lace patterns by Dun Guzepp Diacono and the book that this is a supplement to. What works well?

Alex Stillwell became aware of this manuscript whilst researching and writing her her book on Geometrical Lace. Using Georgina's own phrasing for the text, Alex trued up the patterns, created the missing diagrams, reworked the samples and commissioned the photograph so that this book could be rediscovered by all lacemakers.
