Testing my Newest Design

The Christmas and New year festivities are now over for another year and, as always, it was filled with joy, fun and family. My little granddaughters are growing by leaps and bounds and the youngest had a lot of fun tearing open her gifts.

After having a nice break over the holidays, I am back to stitching and testing patterns.  My son's girlfriend is from Persia and has a beautiful Persian rug in their living room. With Fargol's permission, I took a photo of it and designed a rug that is as true to the original as I could make it. I was able to match the colors and with the exception of 1, all colors are true to the original.  
​

This little pillow is a test stitching project to test the colors in a miniature setting and to test some of the elements I have included in the rug pattern. I wanted to try and achieve as much detail as I could but, as always with miniature, I had to simplify or remove some things in order to have a pleasing pattern. Colors that blend with each other are that way in the original rug.

This little pillow, named the Fargol Pillow is the result. The pattern is now available in our shop. You may find it by clicking on the name of the pillow.  I am also testing some of the other elements in the rug, but these will not be incorporated into a pillow, they will just be randomly spread out over the canvas.  Once my second test stitching is finished, I will decide on the parts to incorporate into the rug and make the pattern available. For now, I hope you enjoy this little pillow pattern.
