Been awhile since I've updated, in a headlong rush to finish Pentecost in time for this year's Palm Sunday.
Took a little time out,though, to join in seeing a good friend's longtime project come to fruition - the production of a beautiful picture book about the celebration of Pascha (Easter, in the Orthodox Church), seen through the eyes of a child. My friend Charlotte Riggle wrote the wonderful story, with magical illustrations by R.J. Hughes. You can preview and pre-order the book HERE - Catherine'sPascha. The site is packed with historic and traditional info,recipes, and more- enjoy! (And its not just for Orthodox -(and not just for Orthodox - everyone can find something interesting here!)

My contribution is small - Practical Blackwork designs for basket covers appear in a couple of illustrations, and you can purchase these designs in the STORE, or read about them and download a simple free pattern HERE. (Designs inspired by traditional embroideries and antique Russian pattern books, translated to polychrome blackwork). A Free pattern -
purchaseable pattern 1, for a Pascha basket cover...
purchaseable pattern 2, for a basket cover or rushnyk
