Description

Irish crochet lace has experienced a remarkable revival in recent years, as enthusiasts rediscover its durability, beauty and creative potential. This comprehensive guide presents authentic motifs and grounds used by skilled Irish needleworkers of the late nineteenth century. Collected and edited by expert Thrse de Dillmont, this volume offers patterns, complete instructions and detailed photographs for 30 motifs, 12 intricate grounds and various traditional footings and borders. With these versatile designs, you can transform ordinary textiles into works of art, such as bedspreads, doilies, tablecloths and clothing. By mastering these authentic elements, beginners can practice making individual motifs before attempting a larger piece, while experienced crocheters can follow the directions exactly to create new patterns or experiment with their own designs.
