Finished!

The overall of Florentine Fantasy by Loretta Spears, 

and the hearts at the bottom finish the design!

 

Another Bargello Design

I added another section!  One more to go!

 

Another section

I completed the next section of stitching.  Lots of great stitches but a lot of counting!

 

The Bargello line

The Bargello line is finished.....on to the next section.

 

The Bargello Stripe

I have started the Bargello Stripe.

 

Star and some stripes

I finished the stripes by filling in the centers with a modified Rhodes stitch.  Next I did the star pattern.  Another cloudy day makes for drab photos!

Starting section C

Finally a photo that is closer the actual colors!  I have started section C with the lines on the right.

Moving along

The  figure 8 is coming right along!  More DMC and Krienik!

The second design

I have started the second design.  The outline and inner two rows are floss, but the second line in is Kreinik!

The first band

Unfortunately the photo of the background fabric is not true to color.  It is blue! The first pattern uses an over-dyed blue, then DMC floss colors.

jSome counted work

I have had this Loretta Spears design in the stash for a looong time.  I am going to work the design on blue as depicted on the right.
