Blackwork flower patternsBlackwork flower patterns have been popular almost as long as blackwork itself, whether representing flowers in a border or band or as an actual floral study such as those featured here.If you haven't tried blackwork before you might find my beginners blackwork e-book helpful to teach you the basics.
