Back Cover Information

Bits of Bargello utilizes bargello as a design element within a quilt in three different ways: bargello in landscape, bargello in blocks and bargello as reverse applique.

Create the illusion of movement and depth through color and piecing.

  • The 8 quilt and wallhanging projects incorporate bits of bargello with traditional machine piecing and machine applique, adding fun, texture and interest.
  • Each project uses a different bargello sequence, opening up new ways to take advantage of this versatile pattern.
  • The clear instructions take the fear out of bargello for beginners and give experienced quilters a new technique to spice up their work.

Karen Gibbs About the Author

Karen Gibbs is the owner/designer of The Quilt Studio, a multifaceted design studio in Ballston Lake, New York, which includes a longarm and design service and a pattern design division.

Karen has a background in textile design, previously working in the River Art division of Eagle's Eye, a clothing manufacturer in Conshohocken, Pennsylvania. Eagle's Eye was mainly known for Their sweaters depicting holiday scenes with coordinating turtlenecks. Each sweater was graphed out, with designs broken down into little rectangles, each rectangle representing a stitch. During this time, Karen began teaching herself quilting, learning quickly what a rotary cutter was. Combining quilting with endless rectangles brought her to bargello.

Karen's family is a continual source of inspiration, looking at the world through her children's eyes.
