Roseground 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. This cottage industry had

its heyday in the 19th century before being largely overtaken by machine-made lace from the Nottingham area. The 1960s the craft saw a revival in interest in lacemaking among hobby lacemakers which spread throughout the world, The craft continues to flourish today, with 'lace days' and 'lace fairs' held regularly in most parts of the United Kingdom and other places thoughout the world. It is traditionally carried out using a shuttle to form the distinctive forms often seen on doily and handkerchief edgings - but nowadays developed to produce, in addition, far more adventurous and advanced pieces. More recently, needle tatting has developed and remains a popular alternative to the shuttle.

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 💜

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.
