Taking a class in 1&1/2 hours isn’t a lot of time especially when it’s a 4-way bargello. But, Stephen at Rittenhouse Needlepoint made it work by designing a small enough piece to demonstrate the essentials. We had a variety of colors to select from – already bundled. The base row took the longest to stitch (& unstitch) requiring concentration. Turning the corner proves to be the next trickiest area. After a full day of work, I was very pleased with the instructions, materials, classmates, refreshments, & to get this much done during class:
After an evening of stitching, I still haven’t violated the miter!!

You are lucky to have Rittenhouse as your shop! I wish I did….
Poor Jane, stuck 67 miles one way from the closest needlepoint emporium here in Chilly Hollow

Enjoyed seeing the start of your Bargello project, especially since I enjoy working with different Florentine designs. I just don’t want to admit how long I’ve been using Florentine stitches. 🙂
