Blackwork Turtles
Copyright © Threads 2023
Blackwork originated in Tudor England, commonly thought to have been introduced to the country by Katharine of Aragon. This design by Cathy is worked on Aida fabric and includes three geometric blackwork patterns, highlighted with some silver leather. The embroidery measures approximately 6" x 6" and is displayed in an 8" embroidery hoop.
Suitability - Beginners
No experience of blackwork is needed, just a little experience of embroidery.
