Blackwork Flowers with Goldfinch
BLACKWORK PATTERN READY TO DOWNLOAD, DESIGNED BY Lesley Teare Designs
Who said that Blackwork was dull?
Here is a brilliant demonstration by designer Lesley Teare, that she can make colors sparkle, all the while using those exquisite lace effects characteristic of Blackwork.
This design is part of a series of birds in Blackwork (see other 2 patterns below).
Like cross stitch, Blackwork is a counted thread technique, with stitches represented on a grid. A majority of stitches are backstitch, with some cross stitch filling certain areas. The chart comes with an extensive Stitching Guide detailing all stitches including fractional stitches.
