New Bargello Project

Sunday I was very happy to find that Jo Ann Fabrics now has more canvas options available in their needlework section. So, I picked up a big role of 12 canvas, and I'm now venturing into mitered bargello for my next pillow project. This is another pattern out of my 1974, Margaret Boyles, Bargello: An Explosion in Color book.

It took me about five tries to set up the first blue line because I kept miscounting the tiny stitches on the mitered line. There are also random stitches that cover five spaces rather than four, so I have to watch the pattern closely. I'm really enjoying the project so far, though. Hopefully things go well when I rotate the canvas and move onto the first mitered section.
