Bedfordshire Motif by Marjorie Beales

Lacemakers who wish to share their tips and pointers are very welcome.
Self-help classes start on Sunday 4th February at Linnwood Hall, from 1:00pm to 3:00pm.

Each self-help class covers one technique and is for lacemakers who would like to learn the lace from (mostly) books.

If you need help with a piece that is already on your pillow, or want to start a particular piece and need help, come along.

We have a photocopier which is available to students at Linnwood on the day.

The suggested starting patterns are Pattern 1a from Pam Robinson's book or Pattern 2 from Barbara Underwood's book.

Bedfordshire Motif by Marjorie Beales

Bedfordshire Lace is the first self-help class. The following reference books are in the library:

An introduction to Bedfordshie lace by Jean Leader
The Bedfordshire family of laces
A manual of Bedfordshire lace by Pam Robinson
Introducing Traditional Bedfordshire Lace in 20 lessons - Barbara Underwood

8 to 10 pairs of midlands or similar bobbins
