Needle Lace

The word 'lace' fills the mind with romantic images of crisp white lace-edged linen and elegant creamy textures. Today's artists have taken this medium and made it their own - with an exuberant and free-spirited use of colours and materials. With more than two hundred photographs, step-by-step demonstrations illustrating innovative techniques, and eighty stitch diagrams, 'Needle Lace: Techniques and Inspiration' is the new bible for the field. It will excite and inspire embroiderers to create beautiful, delicate and dynamic pieces of work.
