Bargello Old Glory with Blue Line


I made a version of Old Glory using the Bargello technique, but with a new twist. This is a complicated process of machining layers and layers of fabric together…then cutting them apart and moving them up and down as if the flag has been caught by the wind. It is made of 100% cotton. The binding is made with the same blue fabric as in the flag; the binding is hand sewn. The batting (padding) is polyester; it’s backed in the same color (cream) also as in the flag. It is machine quilted. Little rings on the back allow for easy hanging. A label stating, “Made with loving stitches” is also on the back of this sweet wall-hanging. Want to see more? If interested please go to my Etsy site at:
