Book Description
Once used primarily for fishing, netting now works beautifully as a base for filet lace. While many lacemakers use commercially available varieties, Margaret Morgan wanted unique sizes and colors. So she began to make her own. Here she explains the equipment she uses and the traditional techniques shes gathered from old source material, and provides 40 patterns with instructions for creating different shapes and edgings. Use the lace for scarves, shawls, place mats, doilies, and even miniature items for a dolls house.

Book Description
The words "quilt as desired" make most quilters shudder just before they place yet another unstitched quilt top high on the shelf. With this enhanced quilt-as-you-go method, you will learn many different ways to create and then quilt free motion and linear patterns on small sections before you add them to the main body of your quilt. This novel approach to quilt making allows for a wealth of design opportunities to employ in your projects. Working with improvisation, it is a choose-your-own adventure with no master plan. Instead, we start with an inspiration, a gathering of materials to embrace the theme, and a set of design guidelines for each project. Instead of piecing whole backs, squaring up large pieces, and neck-straining quilting, you will learn new ways to make each section more manageable through techniques that are as simple or as involved as you wish. Rather than getting bogged down by seeing "quilt as desired," you'll soon learn how to Quilt As Inspired.

Book Description
Bedfordshire lace became popular in the fashions of the second half of the nineteenth century because of the beauty of its bold-open designs, often with elegant floral motifs, and it continues to fascinate and captivate lacemakers today. This practical book is dedicated to the novice and experienced lacemaker wishing to learn these techniques so as to realize this elegance for themselves. Information is given about the equipment needed for bobbin lacemaking, how to make a pricking (the pattern on which the lace is made), and how to wind thread on the bobbins. Instruction explains how to work cloth stitch and half stitch, plaits, windmill crossings, picots and leaf-shaped tallies, and how to finish a piece of lace. There is a series of twenty-six patterns, some traditional and others designed more recently. These are supported by instructions, photographs and diagrams. The patterns include small motifs, edgings - some with corners for handkerchiefs - butterflies and, finally, three exquisite collars.
