I felt that I needed a bit of a change and remembered this lovely and much smaller project that I had purchased on Ebay some time ago.

I have always loved Bargello as whenever I work on such pieces it is so easy for me to just loose myself, as I just want to do one more row, oh, just one more. I think it has that effect on so many of us.

This is a photo of the bit I had the time to stitch this morning. It is a Susan Portra design, which she made for Rainbow Gallery in 1993 (publication date). The design is called "Desire" and is #13 of her Cabochon Series. When I saw it on Ebay, I fell in love with it and was lucky enough to win it, which is far from always beeing the case as I have often been outbid by others. I have no idea what the others of the series look like as have never seen them.

It is always a bit difficult to gather the supply for projects that have been created a long time ago and that is the case for this one too. I was fortunate enough for someone to send me the Crystal Rays thread as it is not produced anymore.
-
I do not have the cabochon required for this project. No indication as to the size either could be found on the chart, so will have to stitch enough of it to get some idea of the dimension needed. It seems that a color like Ruby might look very nice with probably a gold rimset, if I can put my hands on both.
This is the photo that is on the cover of the pamphlet. Just so pretty :-)
-
Need to go now to stitch just one more row (big grin).

I had forgotten what it was like as it was some time ago when you got it and its refreshed my memory and you have made a nice start to it
Ever since I have started working on this one, I have been wondering what the rest of the series looks like. Are they all bargello or all different styles?
Hope I can find out one of these days.
