Project: Florentine Pincushion
Designer: Brenda Day
Type of needlework: Bargello
Photos: 4
Comments: I absolutely love this project. It was a real pleasure to stitch as bargello normally is for me and those colors were "delicious". Yes, I could almost eat them.
Though Brenda intended this project to be used as a pincushion, I am using mine as a little decorative pillow. I already have many of different sizes, style of embroidery and colors. I just love them.
Both sides, left and right, are exactly the same but upside down and it really makes for an interesting design.
This design asked for DMC Perle cotton #5 and also some stranded DMC cotton threads with one additional requirement, BEADS that were used for the corner tassels, a nice little touch to the finishing.
