New Stitch Monday – Composite Bargello Line 1

The Bargello Line stitch is always a popular one to use.  One thing we like to do is to see how we can change the stitch a little and add some sparkle to it as well.   So now we have the Composite Bargello Line 1 stitch.  Adrienne used this stitch on her Whimpsy & Grace pumpkin using 4 different colored threads, see picture below,  that complemented each other. She alternated between a darker orange thread with a coordinating metallic thread then changed to a lighter orange with a coordinating metallic thread.  This stitch really jazzed up her pumpkin.   Another  thread idea is to do the main stitch with an over-dyed thread and use either a darker or lighter coordinating thread or ribbon.  Have some fun and play around with your threads to get the perfect look for your canvas.

Happy Stitching – Stephanie
