	Assisi Embroidery from Italy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		Assisi is also known as silhouette embroidery, counterchange embroidery or voided embroidery because the motifs themselves are outlined and void of stitching; the area outside the motifs is filled with counted work.
		Early Assisi work was strictly ecclesiastical and stitched as alter cloths by nuns and was characterized by stylized animals and birds, and sometimes flowers, presumably because St. Francis is the patron saint of animals and ecology.
		Assisi may be worked by either completing the motif outlines first and then filling in all the counted work or by completing the counted work first.
