Beautiful Bargello book: 26 Charted Bargello and Needlepoint Designs (In Stock!)

The author traces the history and legends surrounding the technique and presents references for the various terms used to describe this needlework style (bargello, Florentine embroidery, and Hungarian Point embroidery). The patterns are traditional in design but additional touches, such as beads in some designs and applications such as lamp shades and hat brims, are contemporary additions to the usual pillows and footstool covers. While there is no formal color theory covered, the lush photographs and the text take the reader on a mental journey through the author's vision of color and its relation to interior decor. tag springsale
