Lace for Church Use by Marie-Clare Downham
​Marie-Clare was a member of the Community of the Nursing Sisters of St John the Divine, the community that was the inspiration of Call the Midwife

Because of this, Marie-Clare understood the significance and use of lace in churches which makes her book very accessible.

If you are interested in learning more about the Community and seeing a photo of Marie-Clare from the 60s, then you can read more here. 

What works well?

• The lace is clearly illustrated with black and white photos.

Anything that we need to take into consideration?

• The book has very little guidance in it so this definitely a book for the intermediate lacemaker
• This book is out of print, but readily available on online book sellers, eBay and through lace suppliers
