I have always loved Bargello having a number of books on the original way to create these designs on needlepoint canvas (roots go back to Elizabethan times). It really isn't a difficult pattern (I think that Dear Jane would be MUCH more difficult) but I certainly would advise anyone wanting to make one is to start with just a simple flame pattern. I have yet to get the border ON with other projects taking priority. The ONLY difficulty that occurred was keeping the rows numbered since some of the rows were VERY SKINNY !!. ENJOY !!!

I love this. Colors are great. I have started for at least a year now, still haven't finished it. Keep thinking about starting again, but haven't. Maybe after I finis a few things I have going, I;ll pick it back up. Really nice.

Buckeye Rose 09-16-2011 05:03 PM

beautiful! Great colors (not the norm) gives it personality! I am halfway done with my bargello and decided to only cut one strip at a time then sew it on....easier to keep track of where it goes! I guess I am just not as organized as you...LOL.

lfstamper 09-16-2011 05:03 PM
