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

Special Effects in Bobbin Lace by Sandi Woods
Subtitle: Over 20 patterns using colour in bobbin lace
This is definitely a book to buy when you see it even if you are not yet making Milanese Lace as the patterns are very aspirational.

Whilst this book is aimed at understanding colour, it also takes the lacemaker through building up large pictures using smaller elements.
