If you are a bargello fan, you must look at the website of Joyce Petschek, author of Beautiful Bargello, artist and tour guide to Italy and London and bargello.

Not all the links work for me at first. Explore and click on everything and you won't be sorry you did. Ms. Petschek does awe-inspiring and gorgeous work. Here's a bit about her book, which is worth seeking out for the lovely charted bargello designs she created.

Here's an old interview on the Caron website. The second link is the free project that accompanied the interview.

Note to Self: When we win the lottery, we really need to go on the London and the Tuscany bargello tours!
P.S. Liz Morrow has posted corrections to her bargello projects in Needlepoint Now on her blog. If you are stitching with Liz, make sure you print this out and put it with your copy of the magazine.

Sign me up.....I will be more than happy to go with you to carry your luggage!
I think we'd all enjoy such a retreat. The bargello pieces are just out of this world, too.
