"There's always something new at Roseground!"

Today we are delighted to launch 4 delightful Binche lace patterns designed by Carole Smith - Snowflake Lace Design. Thank you so much Carole for giving Roseground the opportuny to offer these via our website and at events that we attend.

Carole started making lace as a child and continued to develop her skills over the years with Kitty Mason. For the last twenty years, Carole has been lucky enough to travel to Brugge to learn Flemish lace with Anne-Marie Verbeke-Billet leading to designing her own Binche patterns. Carole teaches in Scotland and beyond.

Gnomes, a Snowman and a Trio of Christmas Trees - how fabulous and so much fun. Click here to view on our website - https://bit.ly/3TAcgMC

***NEW PATTERN ALERT***
A Regal Crown Coaster – A Bucks Point Design

Those of you that know me, also know I have had a fascination for Crowns in Lace, more particularly the Coronation Lace which is displayed at Cowper & Newton Museum, Olney, Buckinghamshire, UK.

I then decided to design a 21st Century commemorative version. Just a length of lace as per previous pieces worked historically, which will be enhanced with ‘Sparkle’ bringing it right up to the more modern day.

Once I completed the panel of crowns for my own collection of lace, I felt that I should share part of this journey with other lacemakers. So, I created a coaster that fits beautifully in a glass coaster (75mm x 75mm) available from www.roseground.com.

In the pack you will find photos of the final piece worked and mounted together with details relating to No. of Pairs, Suggested Threads & Optional Sparkle. You will also find useful diagrams, information and the pricking itself in the following pages.

Please note this is sadly not for a complete beginner, but for the more seasoned lacemaker.

The pattern pack is now on its way to Pam ready for sale on her website and at events in person. You can view the details on my website below (see below), but the link to Roseground is not live until Roseground’s website has been updated.
