Blackwork Frames….. you love them or you hate them!

Blackwork embroidery is often described as the “Marmite” of stitching, and I found that to be true. It requires a high level of precision and forward planning, with careful stitch placement to avoid retracing or disrupting the design. While I generally enjoyed the process, the restrictive nature and stark black-and-white contrast made it challenging to stay engaged. Although I would consider using it again, it is not a style I would naturally gravitate towards.
