Day 150: Classical Curvature Florentine Embroidery Design

Today’s Bargello design is a classical Florentine embroidery pattern with a 4-2 step. It is found on pp. 18-19 in Florentine Embroidery by Barbara Muller.

There are many color possibilities for this Bargello pattern. The designer used 13 different colors to work the original piece. I used 5 different shades of Needlepoint Silk and Silk ‘n Colors by The Thread Gatherer.

Interesting Tidbit: Florentine Embroidery

Florentine embroidery is known by various names: in America it is called Bargello and in Italy, they refer to it as “punto fiamma” (flame stitch).
