1988 Needle Made Laces by Pat Earnshaw HC book

1988 hardcover book with dust jacket Needle-Made Laces by Pat Earnshaw. 144 pages with excellent stitch diagrams for 12 different techniques. In very good condition; slight edge wear with small tears on the jacket lower edge, but the book is excellent. Lovely photos of antique embroidery work.

“A comprehensive guide to the different needlelace traditions – including drawnwork and cutwork in general, and those of Reticella, Puto in Aria, Venetian, English Needlelace, Hollie Point, Hallas, Armenian, Teneriffe, Buratto, Limerick and Carrickmacross. Each section includes a discussion on the history and development of the variation, clear diagrams showing the structure and working methods as well as descriptions of the method. Well illustrated with clear color photographs of some of the laces and clear line drawings.”
