Needlepoint Leaves for the Chapel

I stumbled across this article about a sculpture with needlepoint leaves intended for the University of Maryland's Memorial Chapel recently. Of course I don't remember who told me about it, but it is a wonderful example of ecclesiastical embroidery, 21st Century style.

The Blackwork Journey

Thanks to Jan's blog I discovered The Blackwork Journey, Elizabeth Almond's website that has a free blackwork design called "Save the Stitches" being uploaded in sections.  The link below shows other free blackwork patterns, too.

If you like using blackwork patterns on your needlepoint, this is a wonderful resource!
