Review

I recently got this book and love the look of the projects, I'm looking forward to making the cover project as well as the seat pads. It has clear pictures and instructions that should help me, a complete novice. -- Charlotte Meakin * Amazon *
First of all I am loving Tina Francis's eye for colour, the projects in this book are certainly cheerful, a much welcome change from the uniform grey decor we see these days. The clear instruction at the start of the book set out what materials are required, all of which I am pleased to say are easily and cheaply available, making this a technique accessible to all.There is a wide variety of projects in the book but I think they could all be easily adapted to make whatever you fancied. I am already wondering about turning the bracelet pattern into curtain tie backs. The final project in particular is beautiful and would make a gorgeous addition to any room.Overall I would say this book is perfect for young and old alike, as well as for inexperienced sewers. Its also a lovely way to use up some of my ever expanding wool stash! -- Sarah Gage * Amazon *

Bargello is formed by a combination of straight stitches in various colour. In this book, Tina Francis has taken a modern twist on a well-known design. She obviously loves the use of colour and different yarns that brings this history-steeped stitch up to date.The first part of the book takes the reader through the usual introduction of tools, materials, colour and how to form patterns. Tina explains that traditional Bargello starts from the centre, but she finds that starting with a full row gives confidence.She explains that it is important to get the first row or foundation row correct as the rest of the pattern is built upon this.In the second half of the book, Tina explains how to use her charts to combine colours and patterns this enabling the reader to create 15 projects. They include pieces that will brighten your home, such as cushions, bangles, and wall art.This book is of great value to the beginner, giving confidence through explaining what at first sight are the intricacies of recurring patterns. -- Lizie Painter * The SEW Region Magazine - Book Threads *

Review Quote

Booklist August 2020 The centuries-old bargello embroidery technique--popularized in the 1960s for its kaleidoscopic patterns, meditative rhythm, and psychedelic colors--gets a twenty first-century refresh in this all-in-one guide that introduces the craft and leads readers through 15 projects with varying degrees of difficulty. Bargello uses thicker yarn, larger needles, and stiffer backing than traditional embroidery, which, Francis points out, makes this an ideal needlecraft from an accessibility standpoint. Francis writes with authority when explaining stitch patterns, color theory, and material selection, all while maintaining a conversational tone. Pattern explanations are similarly warm, and often include personal asides about the projects. The projects range in size from as small as a brooch to as large as a floor mat, and from the purely decorative to functional. Tips, charts, and bright, full-color photographs (with cheeky '60s and '70s flair as set dressing) work to make this an ideal place to start learning this needlecraft for the first time or as a refresher while returning back to a bygone pastime. Postcard Reviews - July 2020 Bargello always beautiful and to me looks difficult to do, but once you know the process it is actually so much easier than you think. Tina Francis brings Modern Bargello that you stitch. Her brightly coloured yarn projects are beautiful and can add a decorative and unique vibe to your home. There are 15 projects to create, from bangles to boxes. the instructions are simple and clear and once you get the hang of it you will be designing your very own patterns and styles. You will not need much to start your Bargello designs, just some yarn, canvas and a needle and you are all set to go. I loved the authors comments at the start of each project, she gives you an insight how she came up with the design and offers encouragement. Each project has a finished size, so you can start small and work up. 5/5
