I have never attempted Blackwork before so when the opportunity arose to review this book I was extremely happy. I really liked how the sections were set out for example Materials, Equipment, Design, Charts etc taking you through step by step. The designs are very traditional, but saying that going through again and properly looking at all of them you can swap and change and come up with quite a unique piece of blackwork. I found the fill in patterns brilliant and will definitely be giving those a go especially in different colours. Overall an interesting book. -- Helen Price Amazon Search Press is celebrating fifty years in print and has reissued selected titles from their back list. Each of these is considered a classic of its kind, and this book on blackwork for beginners is among the fortunate few.
