Blackwork Summer Design
BLACKWORK PATTERN READY TO DOWNLOAD, DESIGNED BY Lesley Teare Designs
Designer Lesley Teare uses a mix of Blackwork and cross stitch for this series of four seasonal designs.
The Summer pattern comes with a central bird house, surrounded by birds picking berries and cherries, as well as plenty of butterflies. Intricate blackwork flower motifs and heart shaped ornaments grace the borders of the design. Vivid colors lighten up the black outlines adding a cheeful touch.
Stitch the whole series and display all year round in your home for a discreet seasonal touch.
This pattern includes cross stitch, backstitch and French knots as well as some fractional stitches.
A tutorial is included with the chart for fractional stitches.
