PippinKits Bargello Tapestry Kits require just one simple stitch but are so eye-catching when they’re finished. I have loved designing this Bargello project and am very excited 😆 to share this beautiful and traditional style of tapestry with you. The Appletons wool included in all my kits is British from sheep to needle – it comes from the Yorkshire wool markets and is also dyed and spun in Yorkshire. Appletons prides itself on the quality and consistency of the wool it produces. It was founded in 1835 by Thomas Appleton and has a long history that includes being used by the famous 19th century designer William Morris. It’s hard to believe that Bargello (which originated in Italy) has been around for centuries because it looks so modern and vibrant. It’s quick to work up, creating stunning patterns which are so full of colour. This one is based on the classic pomegranate pattern. Perhaps it would make a lovely gift for friends or family members who might enjoy some proper thread therapy. I hope you agree that this Bargello Cushion is a really beautiful item. It’s such fun to do and it’s lovely to end up with something really useful too. All the necessary wool and materials are included in each PippinKits Bargello Tapestry Cushion Kit - including backing - along with detailed instructions. When finished cushion measures approximately 12”x12” (31cm x 31cm). All you need to find at home to complete the project are some scissors and a 12” cushion pad - then you're good to go! Contents . . . .all in an organza bag so you can keep your wools safely . . A 36cm square of 14 count Zweigart luxury mono tapestry canvas, a 35cm square of Cotswold velvet fabric (grape colour), 20 skeins of Appletons tapestry wool in all the necessary colours, a size 20 tapestry needle, 12 pins, a sewing needle and matching thread to finish, detailed instructions with colour photo
A place to journal my love of needlepoint
Bargello Fantasy (Needlepoint Plus) Bargello Fantasy was original published in the July August 1991 issue of Needlepoint Plus. In 1994 Needle Adventures republished this design as a chart with a photo of the finished model on the back cover. The chart version of Bargello Fantasy is discussed separately. Needleartnut's Bargello Fantasy from NP Plus The two designs are almost, but not quite, identical. The "ribbon" across the top of the design is shorter in this version and the lower left bargello pattern is different as you can see in this photo of the finished magazine version, courtesy of Needleartnut. The bottom triangles may also differ. I can't be sure of that based on the images I've seen. The scans of the Needlepoint Plus model and magazine cover are courtesy of Ann in Baton Rouge. Needlepoint Plus July Aug 1991 Corrections to the magazine chart are posted in the Errata tab above. https://lorettaspears.blogspot.com/p/errata.html The delicate version stitched by Sue. H.

Maker Team member Penny of @happystitchery is brilliant with Bargello. Her tutorial for the pencil pot was so popular, that we've requested another Bargello project! If you've ever done any handstitching, we know you'll catch on quickly to the easy rhythm of this discipline. Let's Bargello, baby! Want to brighten up your home with a custom piece of wall art? This super easy Bargello hanging wall decoration features a colorful tapestry of diamonds and will add a splash of color to any space! Skill Level: Intermediate Time: 10 hours Additional Supplies: Bargello Pattern (click to download)Ruler Directions: 1. This Bargello project utilizes nearly a full sheet of 10-count plastic canvas. Getting started with Bargello is easy as it is a simple long stitch. This project has a mixture of 2, 3, 4 or 5 length stitches. The pattern is on a grid to simplify counting the length of stitches. 2. Begin with Oxford Blue tapestry wool (7823) and start the design in the bottom left corner. The first stitch is 4 stitches in length, then 2 stitches in length followed again by 4. Once you have completed the first stitches, turn the canvas over and thread the tail of wool underneath the finished stitches to keep the back of the canvas tidy. Continue stitching the first line with Oxford Blue, using the pattern for reference, until it stretches the whole width of the canvas. Most of these stitches will be a length of 5 until the other side of the canvas. 3. Once the initial line is complete, it will be easier to add the next colors. Use this first line as a guide along with the pattern. The next color is Magenta (7600.) Thread the wool and follow the pattern; it is almost a reverse of the first color. 4. Following the pattern, continue to alternate between Oxford Blue and Magenta until you have completed all of the design in these colors. Once these colors are complete, trim the canvas to size. Make sure not to cut into the last threads you have sewn! 5. With the main grid complete, it is easy to add the remaining colors! Thread the needle with Ecru tapestry wool (Ecru.) Follow the pattern and stitch all of the Ecru sections of the design. 6. Once the Ecru sections are stitched, you are left with diamond shapes to add the remaining colors. Thread the needle with Hibiscus tapestry wool (7135) and stitch the pink diamond shapes. Continue with Clementine (7740), Peacock (7861) and Geranium (7542) using the pattern for reference. Once Geranium is finished, the main design is complete. You are now ready to turn this into a hanging piece of art! 7. Thread the needle with Oxford Blue tapestry wool. Starting in the bottom right hand corner of the canvas, whipstitch up the right hand side until it is covered. Repeat whipstitch on the left side. Leave top and bottom of the canvas bare. 8. Hold the wooden dowel at the top of the canvas. Whipstitch the dowel to the canvas with Oxford Blue wool. 9. For the fringe, cut strands of Oxford Blue wool measuring about 21”. Fold a strand in half and thread two strands into the needle before passing through the bottom left hole of the canvas. Once the wool is halfway through, open the loop and pull the other end through the loop. 10. Skip every other hole of the canvas and add the tapestry wool in the following pattern: Oxford Blue (7823) - 7 strandsMagenta (7600) - 5 strandsOxford Blue - 5 strandsMagenta - 5 strandsOxford Blue - 4 strands This pattern will finish at the center of the design. Move to the bottom right of the canvas and add tapestry wool moving toward the middle in the following pattern: Oxford Blue (7823) - 7 strandsMagenta (7600) - 5 strandsOxford Blue - 5 strandsMagenta - 5 strandsOxford Blue - 4 strands Fill the last center hole with Oxford Blue fringe. 11. Trim the fringe to desired length. The example is trimmed to 7
