Bargello

Bargello is also known as Florentine Needlework. It's a form of embroidery where the stitches are in clusters of vertical stitches. It's very easy to do and you can actually do it on Aida Fabric instead of the traditional canvas.

Check out my first Bargello design below.

The Secret Garden

This is feature on one of the biggest and most beautiful cross stitch patterns ever. DMC's The Secret Garden. Actually this is a three-panel set of equally sized designs. However, we found it to be more beautiful by combining the three.

These are the three panels. You may click them to enlarge.





Now this is how the designs looks like when combined.

When stitched on 14 ct. Aida, it actually looks like large painting.

It is available as a Cross Stitch Chart and Kit for any of the three panels or for all of them.

Stitch Count: 588w x 360h
Estimated Finished Size: 42 inches wide x 25.71 inches high
No. of Colors: 74 (I'm surprised that it didn't take more)
This pattern uses full cross stitches, half stitches and a bit of backstitching.
