For those who love hand made lace.
Cantu bobbin lace is a variety of tape lace, but uses a bundle to travel threads from one part of the design to another, a technique not used in other tape laces. The designs often have curly flower heads with 3 lobes or petals. Cantu lace. Also called punto Venezia.

I just bought the above book, which "describes from start to finish how to work Cantu lace" but the english is choppy and the terms undefined so I am lost. Has anyone used this book who could help…Continue

Betty will be coming to Williamburg ( I lace with the Colonial lacers there) after the convention so I will get to take her class then.
Julia thank you so much for the offer.

Betty says she will be in Sacramento for the IOLI convention. or she can mail the pattern to me and I can send it to Christina.
Betty Manfre sells this corner and other patterns in her classes at the IOLI convention. I have sent her the info on this website with an invite.
I think you mean this one

It would be a good learning pattern. I'd like to know its source, also.
I would like to know where to get the pattern for the Cantu "small corner" picture posted by Julia Brock in July 2012
Betty Manfre is from the area and teaches classes in Cantu lace.
bmanfre@fastweb.net I forewarded your request to her. You can send her an e-mail and she will reply. Have fun.
Can anybody give me addresses for lace shops in Milan and Cantu, Please! I will be travelling there in June 2014
Does anybody know if there will be a lace festival in Cantu area during June 2014?
Any information will be appreciated
Thanks Barbara.
Kenneth: I made a mistake in my comment. It wasn't Mary McPeek's book I found at VanSciver, but Vera Cockuyt's. (I was thinking Vera Cockuyt but looking at Mary McPeek. A senior moment) The link was to a section with Vera's books. I haven't seen her Cantu book, so I don't know what it is like. I have some of her other ones. They are self-published, and not in color. So she has to rely on verbal descriptions. But there are many useful diagrams in her other books.
