New Patterns

At long last I have new designs offered on my website!  There are 4 new designs on the Bargello page.  They are the first four on that page now. 

The new designs are Prickly Pears, Hens & Chicks, Vegas Nights and White Noise.  You watched me do Vegas Nights last year, and I showed you White Noise & Prickly Pears a month ago or so, but Hens & Chicks will be new to you. They are all Bargello, although Prickly Pears is Counted Needlepoint with a Bargello background.   I hope you like them.

Prickly Pears

Prickly Pears is a design that I did many years ago and decided to update.  Some of the threads I used in the original are no longer available, and there are lots of new threads that are more interesting than what we used to have.  The cactus are worked in several different Mosaic stitches, in overdyed threads.  The background is, of course, Bargello.  The Bargello uses several different textured threads.  This is another pattern that will eventually be offered on my website.  I'll be at this computer day & night!!!  Sorry, the photo quality is not the best;  it was just a quick scan.  I'll be sure to get a good photo for the pattern cover!
