Patterns for Lace at the Cecil Higgins Art Gallery, Bedford, from the Thomas Lester Collection
​As the introduction says:
One of the items in the Thomas Lester Collection, BML377, is a folder of card lace patterns with what seems to be the first attempt at designing Bedfordshire Lace corners in the more naturalistic floral mode fashionable at the time.
This pattern collection give an insight into the sheer talent of Thomas Lester and his lace designs.

What works well?

• The finished pieces, made for this booklet, are worked by some of the best known Bedfordshire lacemakers of the last 20th Century

Anything that we need to take into consideration?​

• There are no diagrams for the lace and a knowledge of Bedfordshire lace is assumed
• This book is out of print
