Ensamplario Atlantio 11
Introduction
Ensamplario Atlantio II is a continuation of Ensamplario Atlantio. In the years since I
issued that first collection of filling designs suitable for inhabited blackwork embroidery I
have doodled up quite a few more designs, including some for borders (scattered after
#172) and tunic yokes (#169, 200). There’s even a strip design with a companion
alphabet (#181-184) for those who wish to make monogrammed or motto-bearing bands.
With a few exceptions (so noted on the pages where they appear) – these are all my own
creations and bear asterisks next to their item numbers to so indicate. With the
exception of fills #15-30 which have a source (and are so noted), I present these charts
as a historically inspired but modern collection, not as a group of motifs firmly footnoted
with exact source attributions.
Readers will note that some designs (#180, 189, 190) are presented with the background
partially shaded. I do that to suggest their suitability for voided work, where the
background is filled in with long armed cross stitch or other suitable techniques.
For additional information I refer the reader to my earlier work for essays on pattern
uses, working methods, materials, and context.
Why “Ensamplario Atlantio” and Why Free?

My first book, The New Carolingian Modelbook: Counted Embroidery Patterns from
Before 1600 was named in honor of my once and now present home in the Society for
Creative Anachronism (SCA) – the Barony of Carolingia (Greater Boston/Cambridge,
Massachusetts area). But while I was working on the book I had removed to another
SCA district, part of the Kingdom of Atlantia (Roughly the US Seaboard region from
Maryland to South Carolina). At that time, I promised to name my second book
accordingly. I continue that tribute for this sequel.
I distribute this book for free because the paucity of source material citations, and
because I want to encourage more people to stitch with originality and imagination.
However, I do not relinquish my rights as author because I do not charge for this work.
Please respect my copyright. Please keep this book intact, do not distribute individual
patterns or pages. Please do not re-issue it, publish it in paper or sell it (even for
charity); or include its patterns in works you offer for sale without obtaining my specific
permission.
May these patterns inform your creativity and fill your hours with joy.
