Racaire's Embroidery
I recently stumbled upon an absolutely inspiring set of work by an SCA embroiderer based in Austria. Racaire's story is much like my own, turning to costuming and embroidery via the path of medieval re-enactment. Her embroidery work is stunning with her use of historical Klosterstitch (used in 13-16th century wall hangings) and Refilsaum (noteably used in the Bayeux Tapestry).
I highly recommend having a look through her blog or flickr gallery at this inspiring artist. She has a couple of detailed pdf downloads explaining how to complete these stitches which I have linked above.
