From linen ornament to modern pillow lace, a detailed history of a once hidden craft.

This study traces how lace-making evolved across Europe and England, showing how pattern, ground, and technique shaped the art. Rich in period detail, it explains the move from drawn-thread and cut-work toward the bobbin and pillow methods that define lace today. The book connects design to practice, revealing how patterns, stitches, and process intertwined to create delicate, enduring works.

Beginning with early origins and the two main sources of lace—the ornamented linen and the craft of braiding threads—the volume guides readers through centuries of innovation. It outlines how pillow lace emerged with pin, pillow, and bobbins, and how designers’ ideas translated into real textile patterns. Readers will discover how edges, purls, and sewings came together to form intricate, connected motifs.

explanations of key techniques like purling, sewings, and pattern tracing on parchment
the evolution of pillow lace and its international connections (England, Italy, Flanders)
comparisons between needlepoint and pillow lace, and how patterns cross over
how late patterns introduced curves, stems, leaves, and even animal motifs

Ideal for readers of textile history, decorative arts, and craft enthusiasts seeking a clear, example-filled account of lace’s development.
