All you Ever Wanted to Know

 I got a great new book today. It is all a person would need to know for how to do blackwork.  It is Blackwork Embroidery  Techniques and Projects by Jen Goodwin. 



This is a really complete explanation of blackwork. From setting up, transferring the design, to using a slate frame, all the information is there. 

Tons of blackwork fillings patterns are included.

This is what I want to do, blackwork with gold.

How to finish a design is also shown. 

There are a few projects patterns included. This will help me a lot. Just knowing the order of doing the blackwork is helpful as well as how and where to start a blackwork project. I'm expecting that Jane Zimmerman blackwork book this week too. 

FaceTimed the grandkids yesterday, They sure do like Minecraft.
