This is a link to Anny Noben-Slegers' album of her work TRIBUTE TO THE FIRST PEOPLE. Really worth seeing.

Carolina and Nancy -

Thank you both for clarifying information about this magazine/booklet.

Report on this publication:

It is only 20 pages long, so it's 50 Euros per page. This, however, is counting front and back covers, pub info page, and table of contents, so it's more like 63 Euros per page of patterns. That said, it's all patterns and no text. That means, however, that one needs to be experienced in Binche to work these designs.

The patterns are largely in the modern style, with only two like the piece on the front. There are about a third medallions and two-thirds edgings. The designs are nice for modern Binche. About half look quite advanced however.

The working diagrams are all in color, using the Belgian color code, which would be a big help in working the pieces.

I wish I hadn't spent the money but that's because I wanted designs in the old style, more like that on the cover. For anyone interested in "traditional" designs, meaning post-WWI, this would be a nice collection of patterns. Anybody interested in Duchesse or Milanese should consider some of the other booklets, if they are as well-produced as this one, but note that there are only two others that are pattern books, and the rest are "technical manuals".

Thanks for trying Carolina. I have sent them an email. I'm sure they will sort it out. --Nancy

I am sorry Nancy, I cannot help you. I have entered the website but there is no clue on which are the steps to follow all the process. I have never bought from Bolilleras, so I do not know the "how to". Usually, a link is provided to download the item...

I can only suggest to contact them at  http://www.bolilleras.com/contact.htm

For anyone else interested, they have quite a series of special issues, including this one, at Bolilleras Special Issues.

Carolina, I just bought a digital copy of this special issue, and paid for it using PayPal. When I completed the payment, PayPal transferred me back to Bolilleras website, but just to the page with the special issues. I can't see how to download the issue and I haven't received an email with a link to the issue. Do you happen to know how this works? How do I get the copy I just paid for? Thanks much! --Nancy

It seems that the magazine has changed contents and now they also publish patterns

This the cover of a Spanish lace magazine. This is not a book.

The name of the magazine is "Bolilleras" and this issue is dedicated to Binche lace. They contact expert lacemakers which collaborate sharing her personal experience, patterns and their   knowledge.

This new book cover was posted on facebook. I don't know what the book is like inside.
