The style of Assisi embroidery is also known as the "voided technique". The background is filled with stitching and the main design elements are left unstitched.
Below are a few motif patterns I created in the Assisi style. I am working on a sampler which includes twelve motifs, one for each month of the year. The entire sampler will be stitched in the Assisi or "voided" style.
