Even as we read, my new book, Bargello Revisited, is being printed. It will be available to shops later this month.
As regular readers of this blog know, Bargello is one of my great loves in needlepoint. I’ve been stitching it since the early 70′s and I’ve been thinking about this book for about 20 years. I’ve tried to put everything I’ve learned about Bargello into it.
Inside you’ll learn:
- How to stitch Bargello.
- How to solve the common problems with Bargello, something unique to this book.
- How to use templates to create shapes to fill with Bargello
- How to find your own templates.
- How to develop color schemes based on clothing, home decor, and even paint schemes.
- How to make over 30 different projects ranging from a cell phone or iPod case to stitcher’s accessories.
Every project is pictured, along with charts for every pattern and templates to create even more projects. Reference information includes contact information for all the threads used, finishing products’ manufacturers, a bibliography of great books about Bargello, and a listing of projects available from many companies and teachers for those who become Bargello enthusiasts.
If you’re a shop email me to get details on support materials I have available and how to get the publication day specials. I’m taking orders now. If your a needlepointer, ask at your local shop about getting the book, or look for it on Amazon.
I’ve got lots of fun things planned for the next few months, so keep your eyes open.
And remember:
