Tamara is an English designer who lives in Switzerland, in the lovely region surrounding Geneva. She is crazy about blackwork, although she creates occasional cross stitch designs too. Her patterns cover a wide choice of subjects, in a variety of styles so if you want to give a go at blackwork, you're sure to find a pattern you'll enjoy stitching. Notice her interpretation of blackwork: it needn't necessarily be black, but can be very pretty when stitched with color!
