Roseground Tatting & Lacemaking Supplies Tatting is a form of lacemaking which probably originated, in its present form, in the early 19th century.
Bobbin lacemaking originated in the 16th century in continental Europe and has developed throughout the world, in various forms and in various centres, since then. In England it developed as a cottage industry, again in various distinctive regional forms in several areas, notably the south-east midlands - Northamptonshire, Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire - and in Devon.

We’ve travelled south to enjoy a few days in Dorset - what a fabulous area to explore! - and today we are at Poole Lace Day enjoying a lovely time as a supplier. Lovely to be here.
Dee Carver is here with her beautiful bobbins too plus we have a talk “Bobbin Lace and Textiles” to enjoy from Jan Tregidgo.
Visiting my bestie too as she lives not too far away makes for a perfect few days ❤️❤️

We are heading south on Thursday ready for Poole Lace Day on Saturday. It looks like it is going to be a fabulous day with Jan Tregidgo giving the talk and Dee Carver with her beautiful bobbins and LaceyMay's (haberdashery) joining us as suppliers.
We are looking forward to meeting lots of the Poole (and surrounding area) lacemakers 😃
We have seized the opportunity to take a couple of days beforehand to explore the area so will be heading off early on Thursday. Anyone attending who has anything on their wish list, please do drop me a line ([email protected]) to be sure that I include. We bring quite a spread but would hate to not include that one thread or book (or anything else!) that you had hoped to purchase.
Visit https://www.poolebobbinlace.com/lace-day.html for more information about the lace day.

We are in “Sunny Hunny” Hunstanton over in North Norfolk today - and yes, despite what the weather forecast said, the sun is shining! We are attending Lavender Lacemaker Lace Day and what a fabulous room full of lacemakers we have❤️.
A fascinating talk given by Carole Morris of Spangles - if you hear this ever you will certainly start looking at antique spangles very differently!
And we remember Lynn Hallifax who was the founder of the event and sadly passed away last year. Well done to Alison and the team who have continued to run it -always a lovely day 💜

👏👏❤️❤️
A closer look at the cover.
I can't stop looking at it. See the previous post for my unpacking of the first advance copy.
Patience is a virtue. We still have a while to wait while stock is shipped to the U.K.
Wow, wow and wow again! The first look at Claire Bonito's soon to be published fabulous first book. As Claire mentions in her video, we are absolutely delighted to confirm that we will be stocking this at Roseground and we already have the thread in stock (forward planning there!) for the designs - all use the lovely Mez Cotton 50 thread.
Huge congratulations Claire - the book looks absolutely fantastic 👏👏👏👏
Watch this space for more information for when orders can be placed - my understanding it may be a couple of months or so before the books arrive from the printers.
