Bobbin lace at Christmastime
​
Brigitte says in the introduction to this book that the success of her previous book, 'Weihnachtliche Kloppelmotive' showed that there was a need for small Christmasmotives, and this was the result.

There are great motifs to choose from; masses of star in every shape and form along with Christmas trees, angels, candles and many more.  They are perfect for starching and making tree decorations or adding to Christmas cards.

Basic knowledge of techniques is needed to this is aimed at the adventurous beginner.

    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.
