Blackwork

Last week I pulled out the Rapunzel project that I reported on yesterday. It made me remember how much I like blackwork.

The volume, as well as the variety and quality, of course, is more than impressive! You are the Blackwork Queen!

Blackwork is a very nice embroidery. I would like to sew it someday.
I was able to meet your work again after a long time.😊

I remember you doing some really impressive blackwork projects in your earlier blog days! Seeing all these pictures makes me want to do some blackwork, as well.
