Back-stitch & Blackwork

Most of my fellow cross-stitchers didn't enjoy doing the back-stitches.. Well, I'm quite the opposite, I love back-stitches!

And today, I find my long-time piece I've done few years ago. It's a blackwork piece. Blackwork is (almost) the same as back-stitches. Just arrange them in a lovely pattern and voila...! This piece can express how much I love to back-stitch :)



I haven't finished this piece completely, I need to assemble a strap to make a tote bag.
Fingers crossed, hoping to fix my sewing machine soon!

    Looking to start this design soon but I wondered how you did the stems as the chart looks very confusing, neither whole or half stitches but if mine come out anywhere as good as yours I will be very happy with it

    Hi edelatana!
    Heheh, the chart is fun to do instead of confusing :)
    But I have to admit that sometimes back then I had those cross-eyed and needed a break for a while :)
    Thanks for visiting my blog
