This Bargello design and those of the next two days of the 2010 Bargello Challenge offer limitless possibilities for you to create your own adaptations of a Dhurri design.
The cross medallion is a simple Bargello line design that’s worked mostly over 6 threads. The top, bottom and sides of the cross are tapered for a beveled effect.
Since the complete Bargello pattern is too large for the 3” sample stitched each day, I will stitch each motif and a part of the border separately using an assortment of threads.
For this Bargello motif, I used J.L. Walsh Silk Cord to work the design.

Dhurri is a thick flat-woven rug or carpet used traditionally in India as floor-coverings. The designs in this Bargello collection place groups of long stitches of the same size close together to simulate thickness. |
