The ‘PATTERNS PENDING in coloured Bobbin Lace’ are single pattern booklets of simpler designs, which may be used as Greeting Cards.  These patterns of original lace designs are complete with full working instructions in the same manner as those for OCCASIONAL ODDITIES.  On the inside front cover, under the photograph, there is a space left blank for personal messages.
