Blackwork Spring Flowers
BLACKWORK PATTERN READY TO DOWNLOAD, DESIGNED BY Lesley Teare Designs

If you're not yet familiar with Blackwork, why not give it a try? These 4 spring flower motifs are an ideal size for any experienced stitcher willing to explore needlework techniques beyond cross stitch. You'll be on familiar ground since it is a counted stitch technique and these patterns only involve backstitch, with a couple of cross stitches.

Blackwork may not be the perfect word, as the designs include color, used in a subtle way and maybe not visible at first glance, but you'll sure envoy the delicate tones of blue, green and yellow. The pattern is brought to you by expert needlework designer Lesley Teare, and the charts are extra large and clear. 
 

A tutorial is included with the chart for all stitches.
