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

To participate, please bring:
8 to 10 pairs of midlands or similar bobbins
Wound with Maderia Tanne 30 or similar
Cardboard for pricking contact and clear contact
Pillow, pins, cover clothes and all the regular lace making equpment.
