BERNADETTE BALDELLI Blackwork Embroidery Stitches, Techniques & 13 Modern Projects

Blackwork is a traditional type of counted thread embroidery that is easy to do and gives stunning results. Usually monochromatic, it is revisited here in a contemporary style highlighted with occasional splashes of colour.

The 13 beautiful patterns designed by Bernadette Baldelli include both geometric and more figurative styles, and are used to decorate items that include pillow covers, a lampshade, table mats, tea light holders and a pretty make-up bag.

There is a guide to basic techniques and each of the projects is accompanied by easy-to-follow diagrams and clear instructions. Even if you are new to blackwork, you will be able to make the gorgeous creations in this stunning collection.
