Flowers in needlepoint laceEntry/Object ID
TT805.N43.H65Description
Beginning with introductory chapters encompassing such techniques as enlarging and reducing patterns, laying the cordonnet, preparation of the foundation material and instructions on how to work all the basic stitches, the author then provides patterns for such items as an evening bag, cushion cover and brides' and bridesmaids' head-dresses. Also included are a number of floral designs which can be produced by using the different shading techniques. Altogether, there are over 30 patterns and designs most of which are accompanied by working diagrams and enlarged photographs of the finished lacework, clearly showing stitch formations and the overall composition. This approach ensures that the book can be used by beginners or by more experienced needlelacers needing new designs to develop their skills.Lexicon
