Book has lots of designs which have their roots in 16th and 17th C. designs. Good explanation of interrelationship of blackwork techniques stitches and the use of cross stitch to make the designs work. However, the author uses cross stitch exclusively as part of the voided design instead of long arm cross stitch or running stitches. SB
