Blackwork, or blackonwhite embroidery, has long been a popular craft among needleworkers. Often referred to as 'Spanish work' because of its association with Catherine of Aragon and its possible connection with Moorish Spain, blackwork has also been welldocumented in portraits by Hans Holbein the Younger and other 16thcentury artists.In the present carefully researched work, this beautiful, distinctive, and ageold craft receives a comprehensive treatment from veteran needlecrafter Mary Gostelow. She first offers a fascinating background history of blackwork, tracing its use in England, the United States, and other countries. Clear, concise descriptions of stitches and equipment needles, ground fabric, embroidery thread, and more accompany discussions of contemporary styles and suggestions for innovative patterns. Originally applied to clothing and household items, blackwork is still used today to embellish table linens, bedding, wearing apparel, pillows, wall hangings, and other domestic articles.Enhanced with 140 illustrations, including many closeup sketches of blackwork designs, this intriguing and valuable howto book will appeal to needlecrafters wanting to apply the timehonored techniques of blackwork to new projects in decorative embroidery.
