In this book, bargello takes on a new character and applies the old stitch to pictorial designs like the peacock shown on the cover. Some of these designs combine bargello with other canvas stitches, some use a variety of threads, some add beads for a three-dimensional effect. A special chapter deals with borders to use as frames and explains how to mitre corners. Each design has an accompanying graph for the worker to follow. Basic techniques are explained and full information is given about materials. 90 Pgs. Description text copyright 2009 www.BooksForComfort.com. Item ID 19369.
