The other day I found alot of lacemaking supplies including a lot of patterns all marked to be designed by Nan Hedenrå. A search on google does not help, this woman is unknowen to cyberworld.
I haven´t been doing this for years but now I have some time and some of the patterns are not even pierced...
Still don´t know who Nan was. There is one man by the name of Hedenrå though but his wifes name was not Nan. I´m thinking of giving him a call.
There are differnt ways of doing laces, these patterns are of Vadstena type , in Skåne there I live laces are made on striped fabric and in Dalarna they are made on plaid fabric ...or the other way around.
In the boc there where a lot of "stars" or small tablecloths that I think I could use on blouses as ornaments so I might be at it again!

Your find is too cool! I've been thinking of doing some needle lace but with really thin wire instead of cotton thread...
I think that´ll look nice!
Some of the patterns on the top picture looks like tatting patterns and not bobbin lace.
