The subtitle for this interesting book is:
120 Contemporary Designs Fort Cross Stitch and Needlepoint.
So many of the current Alphabet books are based on historic designs andf lettering, it is nice to see a book with a more miodern take. Plus, numbers are very rare among these books. You wouldn't think this was so but it is.
Stitch Alphabets and Numbers begins with some basics, materials needed, basic designs and how to approach it all.
The alphabets in this book are truly unique. I boug...
The title of this book interested me. I recognized the name of the co-author, Beth Robertson. She is the co-author, with Suzanne Howren, of many very good needlepoint books including the 3 books in the Stitches For Effect series and Stitches To Go.
The book begins with a basic * Getting Started* page and then goes right into Knots.
There are 21 Knot Stitches or variations of Knot Stitches. Each suggested stitch comes with very clear Instructions and a line drawing showing you the exact process o...
I had no idea what to call this wonderful new 2015 Laurel Burch needlepoint canvas. My best idea was *Dog and Cat Halo* but that did not seem right so I went back to the source, this year's Laurel Burch catalog. They named it *Once Upon A Blue Moon* and there it was, in the upper left corner, the blue moon. Who am I to argue with perfection? This colorful, hand painted canvas features 3 cats and 2 dogs (I think) leaping over the sun, under the moon. The design area measures 11 x 13.5 inches...
The Lion and Bird Laurel Burch needlepoint canvas was just introduced at the January 2016 TNNA needlework show. They are a handsome pair, perfect to hang in a child's room or as a small pillow (or not so small set into cloth).
The design area measures 8 X 6.5 with 1.5 inch borders. It could be stitched slightly larger and a border added. The entire canvas measures 10.75 X 9.5 inches. It is 13 mesh mono canvas.
This needlepoint canvas is suitable for beginners, perhaps not absolutle be...
I don't know if Patt intended this to be an Elephant Family but I would not be surprised if she did. That is exactly what this looks like to me. The baby, needless to say, wants something. He (or she) is probably hungry. The background is an African savannah with a stream in the foreground. The Elephant Family is 13 mesh mono canvas, the design area measures 15 X 13 inches. This incredible design uses 37 colors and 42 skeins of DMC #5 Perle Cotton Floss. it should be stitched using 1 strand...
I am a huge fan and admirer of the Batsford series of needlework books. This is a book I have never seen before. I knew it existed but I never thought to have one for sale here.
To quote from the back cover:
This major reference work brings together all the main styles, techniques and terms of hand and machine embroidery. The entries, arranged alphabetically, include important and well-known techniques. Practical instructions are accompanied by clear line drawings of characteristic process...
Carol Belanger Grafton is a familiar name, she has edited several other books of this kind. I stopped counting at 13 titles, there were more. I carry some of her's fine compilations here in both my New Monogram and Alphabets category as well as several of her used books. When I saw this title I could not resist and I am glad I did not. This is truly a unique collection of Monograms and Alphabets. There are all different sizes and styles here but I want to show you a close up of just one of many...
This is a wonderful and popular original design needlepoint By Laurel Burch. 3 handpainted colorful dogs are standing one on top of the other, to make of course, a pyramid.
There are several things I like about this design but chief among them is that the background is plain, unmarked or designed and white. With the possible exception of the very darkest colors, you could do the background in any color, pattern, design or stitch you liked.
It would also be an excellent place for a border de...
This is the ultimate *Scrap Threads* design. The Mona Lisa Cats design uses 37 colors. Besides, they are absolutely charming. Patt calls these excellent cats Kittens, as far as I am concerned they are cats, cats, cats. They are all smiling, they remind me of Leonardo Da Vinci's Mona Lisa . The design area is 10 X 9 inches The entire canvas measures 14 X 13 inches, it are 14 mesh. The Patt and Lee Designs needlepoint canvases are Glicee Original Design Needlepoint. These are superior needlepoi...
Joen Wolfrom is a well-known Colorist, the author of many book on color and color theory, including The Magical Effects of Color in my Rare Color amp; Color Theory Books category.
This is a very fine set of tools to use for finding the exact colors and shades you want or need for your needlepoint and other stitchery projects.This Ultimate 3-in-1 Color Tool packet measures 8 X 3.25 inches. It is printed on very high quality heavy glossy paper. The colors are bright and look true (to me).There ar...
Joen Wolfram is a name I recognize. She is also the creator of the very useful Ultimate 3-in-1 Color Tool that I have sold here for man years now.
There is a line of words printed at the top of the cover, I would not call it a subtitle but they dogive you an idera of the book
Depth-Iridescence-Lumonsity-Luster-Opalescence-Transparency.
Quoting and very slightly paraphrasing from the back cover
Using Nature as her guide, author Joen Wolfram unlocks the mysteries of color, relating color theo...
I did an article for Needlepoint Now magazine's July/August 2014 issue on The Needlework Doctor. At the time I had around 25 copies, laboriously collected over the previous months.
The demand for this book was overwhelming. I sold my whole stock in just a few days, I even sold my own copy. When I tried to find more copies of this rare and important book I found that the rare book market had noticed what I was doing. The price for copies of this book skyrocketed. We are talking hundreds to tho...
I really like the subtitle to this book Techniques, Projects and Pure Inspiration. To me, that pretty much sums up needlework. Techniques, Projects and Pure Inspiration but I am getting off track...again. The back cover calls the author an exceptionally skilled gold work embroiderer but there is nothing in this book that does not apply directly to Needlepoint, as well. The back cover goes on to say Drawing on traditional method, she creates works that are brilliantly executed, in a style tha...
Ornamental Letters is a little different from most of the letter amp; mongram books currently in print. These are Illuminated Letters. Each letter is shown in a design featuring animals, plants, flowers, people, graphics amp; more. There are also some very stylized letter forms.
Quoting from the back cover: Since the late 4th century, the art of illuminating letters has gone through many fashions. Beautiful designs, ranging from abstract to naturalistic. have appeared on the pages of fan...
I was not sure when I ordered this book what it would be. The british refer to Needlepoint as Canvaswork or Canvas Embroidery. Still, it is a Royal School of Needlework book so I knew it had to be something good. As soon as I saw the cover I knew I had a great Needlepoint book. The cover picture is a nicely stitched NP windmill with an amazing Bargello stitch sky, shading from blue to light blue, through several shades. To quote from the back cover The Royal School of Needlework teaches hand e...
I know, I have many of these Silk Ribbon stitching books here in my web store, but in my own defense, these books have gorgeous projects, beautiful stitching. If I could add another line of threads to NewNeedlepoint.com, it would be Silk Ribbons. I would love to kit with them, use them with other threads. Oh well...... Back to my subject. The flowers, made with Silk Ribbon, in this book are spectacular. There is quite a bit of technique here. The flowers have texture and depth. Many stand out...
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 Picasso...
This wonderful book has become one of the biggest sellers I have. Unfortunately, Pat Mazu has had to raise the price of her book. She says the increasing cost of the printing charges have made this necessary. I first heard about this book at the same place I learn so much about Needlepoint amp; 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...
