Step by Step | 16th Century Elizabethan Blackwork Embroidery Flower Pattern

This Elizabethan blackwork embroidered flower pattern is from an English embroidery sampler by Jane Bostocke (at the V&A Museum) from 1598. This particular embroidered flower will become part of a pin pillow. 

Blackwork embroidery is also known as double-running stitch or Holbein stitch. Historically, it was typically found as silk thread embroidered on white linen in a reversible stitch.
