Here is how my Lace Spot Sampler design looks on black. This is the second stage of the original design, which was converted to be stitched in a single colour (grey) on a white 14 count fabric (with just one 5-coloured motif, hence the 'spot') for selling as a kit. Some people find dark fabric more tricky to work, but I find working with a white cloth on your lap can help, as the light background shows through the holes quite well. Lots of pattern repeats in the design can also make the stitching experience less aggravating, so strong horizontal repeats and a good emphatic border become a pleasure to work - hence the 'dentelle' border design developed for using here.
I hope to be able to produce a few black fabric kits later on this year and may well re-colour this one if I decide to include.
