Hi All,
My paternal grandmother taught me to crochet when I was 9 and has been a passion ever since. Became interested in Ecclesiastical work and have done a few large pieces (No 40 thread mostly) for Altar cloths. In my early 'looking for books' journey I ordered from England Margaret Jeans' book "Ecclesiastical and Ceremonial Embroidery" and went looking for lacemaking from there. Have a copy of the book Margaret compiled on Ecclesiastical bobbin lace of several styles. Joined the Australian Lace Guild, NSW Branch in late 1983, kept the receipt, in order to do the Correspondence Course. The text of the Course was refined and published, republished several times, as "Introduction to Lacemaing" by Rosemary Shepherd. Another of our Guild members, Barbara Ballantyne, has published several books on the life and work of Mary Card, an early designer of Filet Lace, would be interesting to the lacemaker enquiring about crochet tablecloths.
