When worked in the full Bargello pattern, this design has a 3-D look. The swirls appear to stand out from the canvas while the flames provide a background anchor.
The 4-2 step Bargello line design is found on pp. 48-49 in Florentine Embroidery by Barbara Muller, and has great project potential.
The swirls can be modified and worked as a Bargello border, belt, luggage strap; and the entire design would look lovely as a rectangular shaped throw cushion.
I used Silk n’ Ivory and J. L. Walsh Silk Wool to work the design.

This Bargello design inspires the imagination–both in design elements and color scheme possibilities. |
