this is the most beautiful lace book I have ever seen and if you love Estonian lace be sure to get yourself a copy while it is obtainable.

There are 14 celebrity patterns (patterns created for Estonian guests of honor like Greta Garbo), 16 Lily of the Valley patterns, 5 Pasqueflower, 24 leaf, 11

twig, 7 peacock tail, 5 Paw, 7 Head of Grain, 3 butterfly, 9 diamond, 22 “named patterns” = patterns from old and new that resemble their name or were named by their creator, and 9 lace edgings.

There are also pages on how to construct a Haapsalu shawl and scarf, and history of the craft. Finally the photographs are a feast for the eyes.

All patterns are charts so if you like written out patterns, this isn’t the book for you. But if you love nupps and are a fan of charted lace dictionaries you will love this book.

This is the loveliest lace book I have seen ever. It will be a reference book for a long time.
