"Granddad has always found it amazing how it is possible to get so many different patterns out of, what is principally a square grid.

He appreciates 'pure' blackwork very much and will sometimes leave out the couching and trimmings so the design remains more 'traditional'.

He found the butterfly the most complicated and yet so very rewarding, the clean lines of this design and the lace-like detail is fabulous. The Peacock is maybe the favourite though (and mine too) as it's a very full design and yet so very elegant.

Granddad was 87 this Feb (2008) and is not sure if he'll be able to do another black work project (you do need a lot of eye-power!) but he has thoroughly enjoyed your designs Tanja - thank you!"  Emma Dawson

In 2010 at 89 years of age Mr Dawson worked the Blackwork Pheasants opposite. An inspiration to all who stitch.

Blackwork Butterfly - Flight of a Butterfly

Blackwork Butterfly Worked by Helen Gordon in Ontario, Canada

 

Flight of a Buttefly Kit


Blackwork Butterfly - Flight of a Butterfly

"I love my “Flight of a Butterfly!”

This piece is an exquisite blackwork design which incorporates some beginning goldwork techniques to beautifully accent the butterfly.  This piece has solidified my love for blackwork.  Tanja is an excellent teacher and her instructions are very thorough and easy to understand"

Mary Doerder in Iowa, USA

Flight of a Buttefly Kit


Blackwork Butterfly - Spectral Butterfly

"The embroidery was reduced to  6 1/2cm and was stitched in au ver a soi silk  and gold thread on 32 count Lugaua.  I think your beautiful design would make any size look stunning."

Lesley Maher in Australia

 

Spectral Buttefly Kit


Blackwork Butterfly - Spectral Butterfly

"My Penpal in Tasmania knew I loved Butterflies and saw the picture in an Australian  Magazine and sent me the kit. This was my first Blackwork and I found it a pleasure to work. I love it and am looking forward to working the Flight of a Butterfly to make the pair"

Blackwork Peacock

"This peacock, for me, was a challenge to stitch. However, once I began, I couldn’t stop until it was finished. I loved the metallic threads, but admit I changed the gold to more of a copper color, and used the HL version of the green. The fabric was 32-count bay rum jobelan (a warm cream). These colors matched our home better (plus I love to personalize). The star was added to cover a pencil smudge, very appropriate since I thought I deserved at least a silver star for completing the piece. If it had been my own design (oh, how I wish), I would have deserved a gold star, which is what Tanja deserves for her designs."

Pat Niehoff in New York, USA

 

Blackwork Peacock Kit


Blackwork Peacock

"His has been named 'Pee' and  he hangs at the bottom of the stairs, in the hallway.  He is either a flirt or a spy as he winks or stares when the light catches his eye.  Every one who sees him is quite taken by his "eye movement".  I am so pleased he cannot talk.  He was a delight to work and I will enjoy him in his own quiet way."

Sharon Gray in Manitoba, Canada
