ISBN-13: 978-0713421934 The Technique of Teneriffe Lace by Alexandra Stillwell At the time this book was published, it was considered the authoritative English-language book on this needlework technique. Even now, over 40 years later, this remains a 'must-have' book for anyone who wants to create this type of lace. The book not only covers the history of Teneriffe Lace and its traditional techniques but also the late 20th-century developments, how to mount the lace, applications for its use, and alternative methods of stretching the web. What works well?

 Publisher: Self-Published Bucks Point Rose Insertion by Alexandra Stillwell Alex writes: 'I fell in love with this rose pattern when I saw it in the book 'Romance of the Lace Pillow' by Thomas Wright, Plate 41 and was delighted to be given a pricking for it. Finally, when I finished my book on Floral Bucks, I decided it was time to indulge myself and make it, only to find that it needed techniques that I had not covered in my book.' What works well?
