In the Author's Words....
Beautiful Bargello
"In essence, bargello is a beautiful needlework technique whose structured pattern
is formal, elegant and graceful. Consisting of straight stepped stitches, one
established pattern is repeated in different color sequences throughout the canvaswork. Rather than pictorial designs, bargello motifs are geometric in design,
classic in patterns of visual balance and order." (pg 9)
Beautiful Bargello
There are 26 colourful projects for cushions, chair seats, lampshades, hats and vests, plus detailed charts and instructions. The technique of bargello needlework while one of simple geometric stepped stitches, creates a dramatic fabric in bold colours, an elegant one in more muted tones. There are projects charted for several different colourways - neutrals, yellow, green, red, blue and purple. The charts are all in colour and present a variety of styles and patterning.
