More SCA stuff

The above is a close up of the blackwork I've been doing on the handkerchief. I just have to go back around now and fill in the "holes" which won't take nearly as long as setting up the pattern. It's on a linen base. It's based on a pattern I found in a sampler from the 1520's. The thread is silk. So, all and all, it is about as period as you can get!

In other news, the sewing room is now half way decent. Next room to tackle, the guest bedroom followed by the evil kitchen.

Followed you home from dot_cat_sca, and I want to compliment you on your blackwork! :)

Thanks! It's not the best but it least it came out to something decent. I'll post more tomorrow of it and of Holiday Faire (the event I'm going to in Atlantia tomorrow).
