This is my take on the Fleurs D'Annette pattern by what was Chelsea Buns at the time but is now called The Blackwork Boutique on Etsy.

It was originally given away free during the first lockdowns of the pandemic, and I fell in love with it instantly. The original plan was to do a two-tone colour scheme but I was so taken with this coppery orange I just sort of never switched it up!

Finished in 2021, still waiting to be FFOed, you know how it goes! 😄

Ngl, I'm a tad jealous of your stitching. I was never that clean lol.

Aw thank you. Blackwork just looks intricate and impressive, I swear it's not really. Just use one strand to stitch with and it makes anything seem delicate and beautiful, that's my pro tip 😅

It had better count!

Beautiful work. You'd make and Tudor proud!

Thanks! Pretty sure this was the first standalone blackwork pattern I did, now I think about it. It was definitely the one that got me addicted at any rate, it's so much faster than cross stitch 😅
