This petite doily featuring a style of historical Italian whitework embroidery is from my new book Sardinian Knotted Embroidery: Whitework from Teulada. The style is called Punt 'e Nù, and is from the town of Teulada, Sardinia, Italy.
It features a design using traditional motifs, worked in a simple knotted stitch. The doily's hem is worked with a peahole hemstitch and a needlelace edging with picots.
This class is one of the first opportunities for students to learn this technique from me. It is a counted embroidery, worked on 28 count linen. Experience with counted embroidery is recommended.
