For the next three months, Berlin Embroideries is holding a free mini mystery class on blackwork, with a new class to appear the first of each month.

If you would like to see some of Tanja Berlin's blackwork pieces, here's the link. She's a very talented lady and this is a chance to study with her and learn more about blackwork using basic materials and without the cost of a regular lesson.

UPDATE: Tanja points out her instructions are charted for 32 count linen. The piece will be 7 1/4 inches wide by 4 1/2 inches high, so she recommends either an 11 inch or 12 inch square piece of fabric.
