Do you need help with blackwork?


Have you been trying to find instructions on blackwork for beginners?
Has it been like looking for a needle in a haystack? Those intricate, lace-like patterns look like they take simply ages to stitch don't they? And you don't even want to think about how you can get the back to look as good as the front!


It's time to let you in on a secret.

Blackwork really isn't as complicated as it looks! If you have tried my free blackwork patterns as a taster you may be beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Blackwork is like anything else if you learn the techniques behind it, everything starts to make sense.

So where are you going to learn those all-important techniques? Guess what, this ebook is a great place to start. I wrote it for people just like you, if:

You have tried blackwork before but got hopelessly lost


You want to learn blackwork for beginners in the easiest possible way


You have done cross stitch for years and are looking for something different to stitch


Your friend recently created a beautiful blackwork piece and you are green with envy


Let's sit and stitch together
Of course it would be great if you lived around the corner from me and could attend one of my blackwork workshops. I could show you the secrets to making your work reversible, introduce you to shading techniques and answer your questions right there and then.
But don't worry if you live miles away, "Blackwork for beginners" is the next best thing to having me help you in person. Full of information that I have passed on to students during my workshops, it is almost as though I am sitting there with you. Have you heard the saying "A picture's worth a thousand words"? Well there are lots of photos and diagrams in the book that will help you see that blackwork is as easy as 1 2 3.

Talking of 1 2 3 (or ABC) let me tell you that I first saw someone creating a beautiful blackwork frog when I was at school. I was intrigued and wanted to have a go myself. But, believe it or not, it took me another 20 years before I decided to tackle blackwork!

What made me give it a go? Well I had been designing cross stitch for a number of magazines and one editor asked me if I would create a blackwork design for the next issue. Of course, once I had tried it, I was hooked!
