Day 154: Dancing Twin Peaks Bargello Design

I stitched this Bargello needlepoint design while listening to Piano Concerto #1 (Larghetto) from Peaceful Classics, one of my favorite stitching tunes.

Since the 4-2 step Bargello pattern, found on pp. 26-27 in Florentine Embroidery by Barbara Muller, has two sets of twin peaks that flow rhythmically from top to the bottom while changing direction and appearing to dance; it seemed fitting to call it, “Dancing Twin Peaks”.

I reverted back to Silk n’ Ivory for this one…couldn’t resist the gorgeous greens discovered while cleaning out a needlepoint project bag.

Interesting Tidbit: Florentine Embroidery

Barbara Muller excels at taking simple Bargello designs and changing them into stunning patterns filled with color and intensity.
