Woven Circle in Blackwork - Works by ABC

As a followup to a blackwork design I released last year, I am pleased to share this companion piece. In my explorations of old embroidery books, I came across a number of rug designs in a book from 1880. While they were intended as inspiration for woven carpet patterns, I realized that a blackwork design could also show off the dynamic beauty of the geometry.
