The embroideries charted here reflect my interest in counted thread embroidery of the medieval period, as opposed to free embroidery or blackwork. I especially lean towards early stuff, particulary the bold colors and geometric patterns of German and Scandinavian embroidery. With the advent of the Web, I can now make these charts available to all, rather than have them mouldering in folders in my attic.
