My search for FREE Bargello patterns on the web has turned up another beautiful design by Janet Perry. The Needlepoint Leaf Ornament, featured on Craft Leftovers, is a perfect project to use leftover threads all of us have in our needlepoint stash.
Stitched on 14-mesh needlepoint canvas, it makes up very quickly. According to Janet, if you have friends who stitch the chances are that they might have some canvas to give to you, or needlepoint shops often have small buts of canvas leftover from other pieces that they sell at a discount.
Once you gather your materials, you can make several of these ornaments in an afternoon. Donate your finished ornaments to charity or give them as gifts to friends and family…after reserving a few for yourself, of course.
The instructions are easy to follow and finishing details are included. Download the Needlepoint Leaf Ornament here and start stitching a few today.
Thanks for the link, it was a fun project to do.
Keep Stitching,
Janet
