Watching Florentine Fantasy Grow

The Needleart Nut blog is stitching one of the pieces from Loretta's chart "Florentine Fantasy" and posting progress photos on her blog.  I'll post updates (latest on the bottom) as she stitches.  By the way, she is stitching this on linen, not needlepoint canvas.

*****************************************

She will do the long Bargello piece on blue canvas.

The first band on the sampler is in position.

A four-way Bargello flower shape is the next-to-the-last motif.

Personally, I am not a sampler person or a fan of Bargello, but I think this is lovely.
