A photo of a blackwork embroidery sampler on white cloth. The sampler consists of 16 circles in 4 rows, each filled with a different geometric fill. The fills are stitched in shades of pink, purple, blue, and teal thread. Each circle is outlined in black thread and small motifs in black thread separate the circles.

Sunday stitches. A few more flowers and a few more friends added. #Blackwork #embroidery on 14-count Aida.

Thank you! The fills are repetitive with no variations (unlike some patterns I've done with shading or gradients), so once you've done the motif once, it's not as complicated as it looks. Big and time-consuming, though.

Thanks! I hope you enjoy it once it's up!

Fantastic!

A close-up photo of a piece of embroidery on white Aida cloth. Cross stitches in black thread are used to form a heavy outline of a small central circle, with irregular sections radiating from it. Blackwork embroidery is used to fill the sections, forming a colour wheel.

Some sections are filled with floral and leaf motifs, along with snails and an owl. Other sections have not yet been filled in.

It's a busy couple of weeks for me, so progress is slow this #WIPWednesday, but a few little friends have appeared already. #Blackwork #embroidery on 14-count Aida.

A photo of an incomplete piece of blackwork embroidery on white Aida cloth. A twisted ribbon border in dark green thread surrounds a central square along with two rounds of rectangular and corner sections around it. Four of the outer rectangles are filled with a motif of blue bell-shaped flowers and lighter green vines. The central square is partly filled with a motif of leaves.

Sunday stitches. These five sections anchor the pattern; the garden gets a bit more colourful from here on out. #Blackwork #embroidery on 14-count Aida.

Whoops, meant to quote-post to say it's looking great (it's looking great)!

A photograph of a piece of blackwork embroidery on white cloth. The piece shows the silhouette of a cat, filled in with a motif worked in rainbow colours and outlined in black thread. The cat is surrounded by a background motif worked in black thread, darkest at the edges of the piece and fading towards the cat.

A photo of an incomplete piece of blackwork embroidery on white Aida cloth. The design is of twisted ribbons in dark green thread used to outline a central square section with four corner sections around it. The outline is incomplete, but the beginnings of more sections are visible.

New beginning this #WIPWednesday.
