Day 245: Cross Heraldic Bargello Needlepoint Design

Today’s design is part two of a traditional heraldic pattern worked in bargello needlepoint.

Found on pp. 4-5 in The Margaret Boyles Bargello Workbook, this whimsical bargello pattern resembles a coat-of-arms when worked next to the lion and rampart from Day 244.

I used J.L. Walsh Silk Wool, and Silk n’ Ivory to work the bargello design.
