I have way too many copies of some of the wonderful out-of-print and rare Needlepoint books I stock. I have added 7 more titles to them, 4 of them Bargello books, and significantly lowered the price of all of the others.
Overstock New Books are 20% off, minimum, or more.
Take advantage of my acquisitive ways.
I have become a devotee of these excellent books by Mary Rhodes. I consider her to be one of the best of the Master Teachers and an authorities on Needlepoint.
This book emphasizes the...
This very fine book by Tracey A. Franklin and Nicola Franklin was out of print for a while, now it is back and I am glad. This is an unusual book.
Most of us associate Whitework with a more staid form of white on white stiching, this book open that box right up.
Tracy A. Franklin is also the author of New Ideas in Goldwork (which I just so happen to asell here in my Goldwork amp; Glitz category)
The term *Whitework* covers a range of embroidery techniques including Broiderie Anglaise, Cut-W...

There has been an amazing response to my article on B. Borssuck's Alphabet amp; Monogram books in Needlepoint Now magazine.
Almost all the orders I recieved were for both books.
I am completely sold out of 97 Alphabets for Needlepoint and can't find any more copies at any kind of reasonable price (as in under $80.00 my cost). This has happened to me before, I buy so many copies of a particular out-of-print book that I create the rarity and the prices skyrocket.
I do have a number of copie...
This is a true Tour De Force by Laurel Burch. A gorgeous holiday design sampler with 9 different motifs.
I listed this canvas 2 seasons ago. it sold immediately. I have not been able to get another, until now. This colorful sampler uses 13 colors plus quite a bit of metallic gold. Other colors of Metallics would enhance this design, it deserves to sparkle. The design area measures 12 X 10.75 inches. The entire canvas is 16 X 14.5 inches. It is 18 mesh mono canvas. The canvas is Hand Painted...
As far as I am concerned, Di van Nierkerk is The Master Teacher of Ribbon Work. She has published many fine books on this fascinating subject. I believe that I carry all her current, in publication, books on this subject. As in each of her books, the directions are clear and easy to follow and the pictures are all in full color. She gives you everything you will need to complete each project: The needles you will want, in each of the sizes needed. The colors and amounts of silk Ribbon The c...
I can't decide if this cat with his Angel Wings amp; Halo is looking all innocent and saintly or if that is a *bad boy* look despite it all.
Either or, Angekl Cat with a Halo is a hand painted, original design canvas from Laurel Burch. It has 7 colors plus gold metallic highlights. I particularly like the deep azure blue background.
The design area measures 7 X 6 inches. The entire canvas is 11.5 X 9.5 inches. it is 18 mesh canvas.
This canvas does not include any threads or yarn.

This small Scrap Thread design from Patt of Patt amp; Lee Designs has several possibilities. It can be a small needlepoint, it can be a squared off 4.5 Christmas Tree Ornament of a round Christmas Tree Ornament. Patt suggests it could be a Tree Topper too
This colorful canvas includes Patt's own Stitch Guide. She is a wonderful stitcher with a wide knowledge of stitches (unlike me, I know 2, maybe 3).
Sample Stitched by Patt. I think this is a great idea. Patt had the idea to design needlepoi...
Joen Wolfrom is a well-known Colorist, the author of many book on color amp; 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 amp; 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...
This is the book that has replaced Di van Niekerk's very popular A Perfect World in Ribbon Embroidery and Stumpwork. I was upset when they stopped publishing Perfect World, despite the silly title, it was a great and gorgeous book. This book is less lush but more technical, more the book to teach you these wonderful stitching techniques. A better book. Ribbon Embroidery amp; Stumpwork techniques amp; designs are easily adaptable to Needlepoint Canvas or Needlepoint on Woven Fabric. Ribbon Em...
Trish Burr is the author of Long and Short Stitch Embroidery, She is the author of this book too. Redoute's Finest Flowers is out-of-print but I was able to find one new copy. I have to tell you now,(sort of a disclaimer) that I love Pierre Redoute flowers. This book almost seems to be a follow-up to her Long amp; Short Stitch book. All of the flowers here are stitching using these stitches. There are Materials amp; Beginner chapters, a section oin Techniques. Redoute's Finest Flowers h...
The subtitle for this book is a long one 62 Original Patterns Inspired by or Adapted From a Range of Historical and Cultural Sources. This is a rare book, a very rare book. A very, very rare book. Well, that says it all. The author goes, briefly, into the history of Bargello and discusses the many names this kind of stitching is know by. That is always a confusion factor in Bargello Needlepoint, the many names. The author has adapted designs that are traditionally done in other art forms...
This book was a runaway hit at the 2014 Destination Dallas show. I sold my first copies in less than 2 weeks. I think this book might be a hit. This is the only book about this specific kind of stitching that I know of. The author, Lynda Richardson, who know way more about this than I do, confirms that this is the only book that addresses open work backgrounds in any detail depth. The stitches in this collection are intended to be used as background stitches. There are (by my best count) 6...
This is the classic elusive rare book. I have ordered it many times and this is the first time it has arrived in a condition suitable to re-sell (and this is why it is good to buy rare books from me, you will see the actual book you are buying. I buy them sight un-ssen)
Not only is this a rare book but the subject is also unusual. The subtitle is:
Eighteen Memorable Sites in Jerusalem in Full Color Fro Cross-Stitching Wioth Descriptions and Detailed Instructions.
I know it says just cross...
Pajamas amp; Chocolate's Colorful Animals amp; Colorful Wildlife Series of needlepoint designs have been very popular. Patt has taken the basic idea and applied it to this beautiful holiday Poinsettia flower with gild ribbons.
This hand painted canvas is the 18 mesh version, it is also available in as larger 13 mesh canvas in a different listing here.
The design area measures 9 X 9 inches. The entire canvas is 12 X 11.5 inches. It is 18 mesh. The design uses 14 colors.

I have just found these excellent Ribbonwork books by Christen Brown. I was not familiar with this author but I will be watching for more of her books now. This is a terrific book.
