Description:

This second book on Devon Trolly Lace concentrates on the lace patterns from the sampler sachet and work bag sent to Queen Victoria at the beginning of her reign.
The sample originally had 69 samples on it, but 5 were selected by the Queen, so 64 in total remain on the sampler, and 24 of them have been redrawn and reworked for the present book.
For each piece of lace there are illustrations of the old sample and the new copy, a lace pricking and a black and white working diagram.
Most of the patterns are geometrical point ground lace with gimps just a few of the patterns have flower motifs. The widths of the lace samples range from 1.4 cm (13 pairs) to 11.5 cm (109 pairs); the thread used is cotton 120/2 plus a gimp thread.
