Bobbin Along, from TangleCrafts

Su at TangleCrafts has done it again with a witty (there’s no other word for it) four-way Bargello design, Bobbin Along. Don’t you just love it!

Su has a great explanation of her thinking about this piece, but I wanted to point out a couple of things. I love the way she handles the spools of thread, they look so realistic. The wooden tops and bottoms are a perfect color.

I also really like the way the Whipped Backstitch thread, snakes around the piece. It provides a real focal point for the design. The Bargello becomes a wonderfully complex background for it.

The kit for this is now available, as is the one for Marble Waves.

Great stuff!
