Blackwork's counted blackwork patterns are historically inspired and designed in
"period style", based on actual portraits and museum artifacts. Each pattern includes charts "for Sundry
Useful Things" - historic-style and modern clothing, household linens, decorative items- anything that could use a touch
of history!
