Pomegranates in Bobbin Lace Part 2 - Jean Eke and Sandi Woods

Publisher : Jean Mary Eke Publishing (2009)
ISBN : 9780956352712

Pomegranates in Bobbin Lace Part 2 by Jean Eke and Sandi Woods
The Queen Katherine Connection

Firstly, the red cardinal, from Part 1, is shown reworked in dark navy to produce a blackbird and working instructions are given for this. Please be aware that the pattern for the blackbird / red cardinal is not in this booklet.

Included in this booklet are two sets of patterns, firstly the Pomegranate & crown from the front cover and another pomegranate in Milanese and secondly two Bruges Flower lace flower motif patterns.

Although there are working instructions in this booklet, a good knowledge of Milanese lace and Bruges Flower lace is assumed so this is aimed at the intermediate to advanced lacemaker.

What works well?

The booklet contains not just the two patterns along with working instructions but also historical information on Katherine of Aragon.

Anything that we need to take into consideration?

The blackbird pricking is not in this booklet, but in part 1
This booklet is out of print and is rarely seen.

The pictures are of excellent quality and show bobbin lace through the narrative of images. The photos are arranged in chronological order of the lace development.

If you are looking for more of a commentary or written history then I would recommend The History of Lace by Margaret Simeon.
