Roseground

New pattern announcement today - just in time for your Christmas preparation.

What a fabulous design from Jane Lewis to add to her vast collection - all available from Roseground.

Click here https://bit.ly/4hR9YSX to view. We sell the frames too.

Thanks Jane for another superb pattern 😀

New pattern alert!
Is it too early to mention Christmas? I don't think so, we all know that lace isn't created in 5 minutes! With that in mind - Belle snowflake angel (it has become a tradition to create a new angel every year) will be on the way to Roseground tomorrow. Pam also stocks the snowflake frames.
See my whole range at www.roseground.com
P.S. more Christmas designs available shortly😉

A fabulous new book alert! "New Lace From Old" by Unagh McCullough MBE

This is Unagh's second publication, her first being the extremely popular "101 Variations in Torchon Lace"

To celebrate the 35th Anniversary of ARDS Bobbin Lace Enthusiasts, Unagh has taken vintage/heritage pieces of lace (some mere scraps) and redrafted and modernised the design into new patterns and worked examples for today's lacemakers.

30 mainly Torchon designs - edgings, bookmarks, mats and more - a superb array of designs to keep you busy!

Unagh was awarded an MBE in the King's 2026 birthday honours for services to the art of lacemaking and needlecraft. Huge congratulations to Unagh on this well deserved recognition

On the train heading up to Nottingham after a few days at Claire Bonito’s Milanese course - part of the Missenden Crestive Arts Summer School.

3 fabulous days of superb tuition, great company - and yummy food! I loved every minute and cannot wait to return ❤️

Now to catch up with orders - Martin has been doing the prep work whilst I’ve been away so hopefully we will be up to date quickly🤞

Some photos from today for you to enjoy - I’ve been so busy at my pillow I nearly forgot to take any - oops!! My table buddy (Fay) had to leave early so didn’t make the photos - sorry Fay!

A new pattern pamphlet from Claire Burkhard which includes 12 different projects! Some great gift ideas, which do not take a huge amount of time.

Just to add - we are on holiday this week so will not start to send out any orders until next week.

Thanks!

New thread alert! There's always something new at Roseground!

Earlier this year we were approached by Frank's Baumwolle in Germany asking if we would consider stocking their lacemaking thread. It was not a thread I knew too much about but after receiving some sample thread and working some lace with it (thanks Mrs Roseground the 1st), we decided that it would be a great addition to our fabulous range of threads.

A weekend of sport on the television has given me the opportunity to work on the colour charts and add the thread to the website. Even when watching TV I have to be working on something!!

Over 40 shades available in 3 sizes - 20/3, 30/3 and 40/2 - all 200 metre spools - click here to see the fabulous range - https://bit.ly/4gtEtOa

Enjoy!

Woohoo! I can confirm that the vast majority of the pre-orders with Roseground will be dispatched today with the rest to follow tomorrow. Working as quickly as I can!!

Might have to treat the postie to an ice-cream when he collects the post tonight - there are some heavy bags!

Thank you to everyone who has ordered so far - I know you are going to love the book. We have a good stock availability so it is not too late to order!

Huge congratulations Claire Bonitocrafts! 👏. Super chuffed for you.

Just to add, we stock the Mez Cotton thread that Claire uses for the designs in the book.

Woohoo! Publication date of this eagerly awaited first book from Claire Bonito - I have seen a copy and can honestly say it is fabulous!

Our books should be dispatched from the distributor anytime soon so I will start sending out the pre-orders as soon as they arrive. You can order at www.roseground.com or if you want a signed copy, from Claire. Remember if you are purchasing from the UK, you can add to you order at no extra charge for postage regardless of the weight.

Congratulations Claire - super chuffed for you 😍

I can’t quite believe it. It today is publication day. I am now officially a published author.

A massive thank you to everyone at The Crowood Press who have held my hand every step of the way and helped me create something that I am so amazingly proud of.

So excited and nervous that my book will very soon be out in the world. I am very much hoping to have my first batch of books ready to send out to all those lovely people who have pre ordered from me in the next week or so. Once I am certain of a delivery date to me I will start sending out payment links. Hopefully in the next week.

If you have ordered your book online from Amazon there will be something of a delay due to the way their logistics work.

You can still pre-order from my website at www.bonitocrafts.co.uk or from Roseground too of course.
