Cross Stitch from the Dark Ages - by Lindsay Swearingen (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Travel back to the age of the Black Plague with this collection of Medieval cross-stitch patterns. From the bestselling author of Creepy Cross-Stitch comes 25 new projects that are perfect for anyone intrigued by the grim aesthetic of the Dark Ages. Lindsay's easy-to-follow patterns and bewitching aesthetic have garnered her a loyal following on Instagram and a steady customer base of fellow stitchers. Inspired by the oddities of Medieval art, patterns will range from common symbols like The Hand of Mysteries or The Clavis Artis to tales of courtly love like that of Guinivere and Lancelot. Crafters can Dance with Death or oversee their own Rodent Acquittal as they venture through rat-ridden graveyards.

Lindsay also includes a guide for the novice stitcher and a full list of needed materials, so crafters of any skill level can succeed at creating their own frameable art pieces. These beautiful needlepoint designs are meant to last and are the perfect handmade touch in any gallery wall. So, strap on your plague mask, release the rats, and gear up for an eerie journey through Medieval times.
