Let's sit and stitch together

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!
