Outlining time! #Blackwork #embroidery on 14-count Aida.
A close-up photo of a piece of blackwork embroidery on white Aida cloth. The camera is focused from an angle on an octagonal section of dark red flowers with dark green leaves and vines. Surrounding it and less in focus are square and parallelogram-shaped sections with more abstract floral motifs in shades of green and rusty pink. Some of the sections are outlined in dark green thread.

A photo of a piece of blackwork embroidery on black cloth. A central 8-pointed star shape is filled with a geometric motif in white thread. Running around it are two ribbons filled with different geometric motifs in coloured thread; the colours in each ribbon form a rainbow with one colour fading into the next. In the gaps between the ribbons are eight smaller motifs in white thread. Each section is outlined in white thread. A close-up photo of a piece of blackwork embroidery on black cloth.

A photo of a piece of blackwork embroidery on white evenweave cloth. It shows a heart, shaded by varying the stitch pattern to give the impression that it is three-dimensional. The heart is stitched in red thread; its shadow beneath it is in black.

If you're celebrating today, friends, may it be merry - very!
A photo of three ornaments decorated with blackwork embroidery in red and green thread. Each has a central motif surrounded by a border of holly and ivy leaves. Each ornament is shaped like a small, square pillow with red thread around the edges. The three sit on a backdrop of velvet-like fabric surrounded by a lit white jar candle, a small red gift box, and several small pinecones.

Slow progress this #WIPWednesday. I’m visiting family for the holidays and my sister’s pups think hands are better used for scritching rather than stitching (and I agree, TBH!)
