I am so very excited to get to share Helen Hough’s new book, _Simply Elegant: Pagano’s Early Reticella Lace Designs 1544-1554 Venice_ with you. It is now available for download on Archive.org https://archive.org/details/pagano-hough-caputo-sanderson-2020-simply-elegant
The designs are beautifully organized and the discussion of how to go about finding old embroidery and lace books is information I wish I had known when I started looking. I was asked to contribute, as was Alessandra Caputo. I’m so proud to have been involved.
