Written by Kim Brody Salazar, writing as Ianthé d'Averoigne, this book (click on the thumbnail on the left to enlarge and see caption publishing information), includes nearly 200 Period patterns plus fascinating historical details. Thistlebees has been inspired by some of those designs and attribution is given where appropriate in relevant picture enlargements, appearing by permission, to be seen throughout the site.

Below picture samples are a partial selection of Blackwork embroidery designs we have available.
