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.
From the Birthstone Quaker series by From the Heart comes this offering for August done in tones of green and the large center motif appears to have a birdcage style motif in the center surrounded by vines and swirls.
Pattern is stitched on 40 ct Silver Moon using Silk 'N Colors thread with Gentle Arts and DMC conversion. Stitch count 90w x 90h. Finished size is 4.5" x 4.5".
