This has become, in the years I have been selling rare/used books here, a Very Rare book. It is unusual for more reasons than its rarity, however. This is a 8 X 10 inch stiff paper bound book originally from Charles Scribner's & Sons, it was published in 1978. I can't see that the date matters much, nothing really changes about stitching letters & numbers on canvas, not really. Plus this book one of the few Monogram and Letters Books I know of that has numbers too. None of them is a...
I was unsure what Glorafilia was but after reading these books I think it boils down to some unusual and decorative stitches (which were hardly used back in the 1990's when these books were published), Long and Short Stitch and traditional Continental or Basketweave stitch. The end effect is gorgeous and very well suited to Impressionists Art. This handsome book has original needlepoint designs using the art of Monet, Cezanne, Degas, Van Gogh, Morisot, Renior, Pisarro and Cassat. (no Picas...
I snagged a copy of this for myself. Long & Short Embroidery is absolutely beautiful (as is L & S Needlepoint). It is used in Glorafilia designs and is is widely mentioned but there are scant or non complete directions for how to do it right. The subtitle to Long & Short Embroidery is" A Collection of Flowers". Each project or example (there are too many to do them all) has a close up stitched picture of the flower or flowers. Then a template drawing. The thread Key is done using DMC & Anchor S...
Needlepoint Samplers is an unusual book and quite hard-to-find. Samplers for Needlepoint is not a subject that has been written about much and this book does it very well. Stitched samplers were one of the most popular forms of needlework from the 17th century to the end of the 19th century. Indeed, they are still being stitched today. Most of what you see are Embroidered or Cross Stitch Samplers on cloth. Needlepoint Samplers are rare. The author traces the development of Needlepoint Samplers...
When I first began NewNeedlepoint.com almost 10 years ago, this amazing book was still available new. It was very popular. Then one day it was out of print and became impossible to get.
I have emailed back and forth several times with Di van Nierkerk (who is a very nice lady and takes the time to respond to my pitiful emails). It is out of print and that is that.
For awhile it was impossibly expensive on the out-of-print, rare book markets. It has come down in price substantially but i...
I am selling all 3 volumes of Suzanne Howren & Beth Robertson's classic and very popular Stitches For Effect series books. Stitches For Effect More Stitches For Effect Even More Stitches For Effect These 3 volumes are together a complete and comprehensive Needlepoint Stitch Book. The authors. Suzanne Howren & Beth Robertson, together and individually are well-known for their many books on many facets of needlework. These 3 books are indeed a classic Needlepoint Reference. Each volume can sta...
I have always been interested in Blackwork and drawn to it when I see it. So.....I saw this book on the wholesaler's list and thought, why not? Although the Title of this book is "The Beginner's Guide to Blackwork" this is not a beginners book. I recommend it to mid-level or advanced stitchers I am quoting from the introduction "Blackwork is a counted thread method of needlework (ok, it said embroidery but I used the word needlework) using straight stitches in a contrasting color worke...
Both these excellent needlepoint pattern books are rare, both of them. Being able to list book 1 and book 2 together is unusual (but very good).It took me a long time to get both these books, from different sources but I did it (I am a stubborn old broad, said with admiration for myself, lol).There are many, many stitch books. There are some pattern books but not as many. ThisCanvas Pattern book is done with Marnie's skill and clarity.Marnie begins book 1 with a one page tutorial on...
Sandy's Finishing Touches is subtitled "A Step-By-Step Guide To Finishing Needlework. There is a lot of interest in Needlepoint Finishing right now. It seems to me there are less places to have good needlework finished then there used to be, as our LNS close, one by one. I used to have beautiful finishing done by a store near where I live, but the owners retired (go figure). The new store I took my finishing too did a miserable job, in fact ruining a large round petitpoint pillow I spe...
A brand new completely updated and revised replacement for the RSN Book of Embroidery Techniques. This is a major addition of Needlework Knowledge, an extraordinary book.I know this is not strictly a needlepoint book but there are so many interesting techniques from this book that can be easily used and adapted to needlepoint. The RSN Book of Embroidery now includes Crewelwork, Blackwork, Whitework, Silk Shading, Stumpwork, Bead Embroidery, Canvaswork, and Goldwork. It does not replace th...
This wonderful book has become the one book that I sell more of then anything else, and with good reason. I first heard about this book at the same place I learn so much about Needlepoint & new needlework things (be they books or tools or designs or stitches). Of course I mean Jane's Chilly Hollow Needlepoint Adventure Blog. Jane mentioned a new needlework finishing book. Since there are very few other currently published books on Needlepoint Finishing and one increasingly rare older book on th...
Father B's 21st Century Book of Stitches is now out-of-print. It was the collection of the American Needlepoint Guild's (ANG) Stitch of the Month along with some of Father B's own stitches from 1982 until the last edition in 2000.This book is a sampler of the best of those stitches, chosen by Beth Howren, a very accomplished and well known needlepoint author.This small book (the perfect size to carry in your needlepoint tote bag) has 110 easy to read stitch diagrams complete with l...
