To go along with our expanded design lines, there are 2 new pages under "Practical Blackwork Designs" - one dedicated to the blackwork e've created exclusively for Catherine's Pascha, and one for our (we hope!) growing line of liturgical and church linen patterns

     We have launched a few of our designs at our Practical Blackwork Etsy shop - please stop by and have a look.  There will be some new designs appearing there, and more old favorites added as we see how we go - hope it's a success!

  Looking for this pattern?  It is now available for purchase HERE, along with a number of other Practical Blackwork designs.

    Happy to be back!  We're also proud to announce that Practical Blackwork is launching (slowly!) a line of Orthodox Christian/Eastern-European inspired counted blackwork patterns for CATHERINE'S PASCHA.
  The CATHERINE'S PASCHA site is full of all sorts of info, recipes, traditions, etc, about the Orthodox Christian celebration of Pascha (Easter), with more Feasts in the works; the Catherine's Pascha book is a beautiful view of our greatest Feast through the joyful eyes of a child - a great gift for kids, libraries, or Sunday Schools of any denomination.
   Check out the STORE there for special Practical Blackwork patterns and other great stuff.
