Embroidery has a lengthy history, as adornment, embellishment and hobby for nimble hands. This blog showcases the embroidery styles that I have mastered, as well as the styles that I am still learning. From medieval to modern, European to American, simple to complex, read all about my journeys with string.

Knots
I think I am going crazy. Somewhere online, more than once, I have found a booklet from the V&A musuem on embroidery. I don't remember if it was blackwork, or Elizabethan embroidery, but I know it was there in a pdf. Am I going crazy, or does this truly exist?

Arghhh...it's on the tip on my mind! Elizabethan embroidery, with pretty bad b&w plates, right? If I run across it, I'll let you know :-)
ReplyDeleteThat's the one! Black and white, and not the greatest. I know I've seen it a few times, but I apparantly failed to save it to my favorites, lol!

During the Elizabethan period, there are several styles of embroidery that became popular.
