This is "Pocket Garden of 4-leaf Clover" from Stitchin'spiration.  It's a freebie there and my first try at "blackwork", which basically means instead of those little x's i cross stitch I am just stitching lines.  You can make some very cool geometric designs as you can see.  I am only about a fifth of the way through the chart.  Someday this design will become a bookmark, if I ever get back to Eugene and my sewing machine.

Website will be completed someday when I have access to my Windows tools (I'm still on the Linux laptop).
