Eighteen projects demonstrate the variety and traditions, from graceful Arab-inspired patterns to bold modern styles. Trace blackwork’s evolution with photos of classic examples, and begin the pleasurable task of embroidering your own: the techniques are easy, the required equipment minimal. Make such wonderful projects as rose and tulip bookmarks, festive Christmas cards, a Celtic knot tray, and more.
