Beautiful Bargello

Beautiful Bargello by Joyce Petschek

Bargello, which originated in 16th century Italy, is an elegant style of needlework that became popular throughout Europe and America during the 17th and 18th centuries. An extremely simple style to master, it consists of an established pattern of straight stitches repeated in different color sequences across the piece of work. In this richly illustrated book, Joyce Petschek has combined the formal elegance of Bargello with her skill as a colorist to create a dazzling collection of designs including cushions, chair seats, lamp shades, hats and vests. The accompanying charts and text clearly explain how to create all 26 projects.
