"...And as though Cambrick, Holland, Lawne, and the finest cloth that maye bee got any where for money, were not good enough, they have them wrought all over with silke worke..."
Philip Stubbes (on ruffs) "Anatomie of Abuses" 1583

"Portrait of a Lady" by Meilich, 1550s

Practical Blackwork Samplers-

Samplers started as a way to record stitches and patterns, and developed into a decorative way to display one's talent with the needle. Our samplers are based on our historically-inspired designs, vintage samplers, and words that catch our imagination...
