Creating a Blackwork Embroidery Pattern using Tetris Shapes!?

A Laurel had challenged me to create a blackwork embroidery pattern using historically accurate patterns to create an 8 bit video game snapshot. This challenge was to see if I could meet the historical design criteria with something that is absolutely NOT historically accurate.

Since Tetris has been one of my favorite video games from childhood, I chose Tetris for this challenge. Many reversible blackwork embroidery patterns, also known as a double-running stitch or Holbein stitch, is geometric in shape.

The geometric shapes of blackwork are perfect for the Tetris shapes! First, I searched historical patterns to locate the same shapes found within the Tetris game. Then, I placed these various shapes on a canvas that I had created in Excel to create the pattern.

For anyone curious about what exactly the 'SCA' is -- The Society for Creative Anachronism is an international, non-profit educational organization that studies and recreates the medieval and Renaissance years of 600-1600AD.
