The Technique of Bruges Flower Lace

The Technique of Bruges Flower Lace by Veronica Sorenson & J.E.H. Rombach-de Kievid

Bruges is one of the oldest lace-making centers in the world and is renowned for the intricate designs it has produced - all based on flowers, leaves and braids within a unique and characteristic scroll. It is a sectional bobbin lace, its patterns most dramatically worked in white, cream, ecru and black. 25 designs, originally published in Dutch, are supplemented here by 35 spectacular pieces of Veronica Sorenson's own devising. Accompanied by practical, easy-to-follow instructions, the patterns are divided into motifs, edgings, crosses, collars and cuffs, all-lace mats, pieces designed for specific uses in the home and gift suggestions. For the lacemaker familiar with bobbin lace-making techniques there is a wealth of new and interesting designs to be discovered; originality and versatility are the key features of Bruges flower lace, fully reflected in this new book.
