Toni Buckby () was this month's YES speaker. She told us all about her blackwork and had lots of samples of linen with different thread counts together with her stitching on those samples where each different stitch was worked for an hour.

Our speaker this month was Toni Buckby - studio who came to talk to us about Re-embroidering Blackwork. She is working on a PhD in conjunction with the V&A studying their blackwork collection and working out how it was made. Here is a picture of a coif (head covering) from the V&A collection (image 3), Toni's design taken from it (image 4), her reconstruction of it (image 2) and a detail of her work (image 1). Her piece is on linen with a thread count of 74 threads/inch which was coarser than the original. Her work is incredibly fine and took 300 hours to complete. We were all amazed and impressed by her work and her talk was very interesting.
