I finished stitching this in November 2015. The free patterns are designed by Elizabeth Almond and are still available on the Blackwork Journey website (scroll through to find the individual patterns).
I made it into a pillow, using 40x40 cm. pillow form. The backing is a beautiful piece of Tilda fabric I received as a gift and was saving for something special.
I must have my BFF look at this, it is the sort of blackwork she is drawn to as a stitcher. I like looking at it but am less inclined to sew it. I prefer more figure based with a fill sort to stitch.
Oh wow. This is super pretty with so many different fills... the scale of the background and the working on evenweave at that level feel beyond my beginners comfortable level, but it might just inspire me to go hunting for another blackwork pattern, thank you for sharing
This is not a box of delights, but a PILLOW of delights.
ReplyDeleteIt's a delight, front and back!

ReplyDeleteI think I got that pattern saved somewhere. That's a great way to finish it!
