Inspirations Calendar | May Project

May we tempt you with a little blackwork? May we tempt you with a beautiful rose? Maybe in May we may tempt you with both!

Black Beauty by Victoria Laine from Inspirations issue #95 is the featured calendar project for the month of May.

One stitch and one colour of thread is all it takes to create this elegant rose in shaded blackwork.

Worked onto ivory linen with six weights of black cotton and silk thread, this striking, monochrome flower ably demonstrates the refined qualities and delicate subtleties of traditional blackwork.

Maybe in May you may decide to stitch your own Black Beauty? In anticipation of such maybe’s the digital pattern is now available on our website and we even have kits available as well!
