Blackwork and Blues from Laura Perin

I'd forgotten that Laura Perin also creates blackwork designs besides her bevy of terrific geometric and realistic counted thread designs.

This second link is to the collection of blackwork patterns on her website and her book of patterns.  There are a lot of them!  It's a great look at another side of her talents.

She's also posted a collection of designs in blue on her site as an antidote to the summer heat.  That's a great idea!
