Jean Leader discovered bobbin lacemaking forty years ago and lacemaking continues to be a source of satisfaction and enjoyment. Jean has authored many books and DVDs on different styles of lace, and produced an iPhone app on lace identification. She teaches classes locally in Glasgow, and workshops in Britain, USA, Canada and Australia. In this book Jean brings many years of experience to introducing the Bedfordshire lace techniques of traditional patterns and some designed recently.

This book is extremely well laid out, easy to follow and tells you everything you need to know. All the steps in the book have excellent diagrams, clear instructions and photographs of the finished lace with close-ups where needed to show the working. It is certainly a book that will not just be kept on the shelf, but be much used and referred to.
