Sandy's Finishing Touches is subtitled "A Step-By-Step Guide To Finishing Needlework. I thought this might be a great book to have for sale here, since I know I know almost nothing about finishing off the needlepoint I stitch, beyond blocking it. 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 m...
When I first found it, this book was a complete surprise to me, I had no idea it even existed. I had not previously seen any reference to it, anywhere. This book is very rare. Here something else I did not know, Elsa William used to have a syndicated newspaper column. In her introduction, Mrs. Williams says that "the pages for this book are my selections from the syndicated columns I have written during the past several years" This book is, as the dust jacket flaps claim "a treasure trove of...

Illuminated letters and manuscripts are the most beautiful and prized, the possibilities are nedless. These alphabets range from simpler leaf or rose entwined designs to the elegant and classic Harlequin lettering.

I have seen many fine Needework Accessories done by some wonderful stitchers. I was glad to find this interesting book. Making Needlework Accessories has the subtitle: Embroidered With Beads. While this does appear to be an embroidery book and a number of these projects are done on felt or fabric, I do not see any designs that would not easily adapt to Needlepoint. Making Needlework Accessories has 14 projects followed by very complete instruction & templates. Under Techniques is a list of St...
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...
Jan Eaton is a very well known needlework book author. Many of her books are about crochet or knitting. Some are about cross stitch or embroidery. This is the only Needlepoint book I found when researching all the books she has written. The subtitle is "Over 700 Unique Full-Color Step-By-Step Photographs". The cover shows 3 different stitches done on large mesh plastic canvas using ribbon. 2 of them are quite complex stitches I am not sure I have ever seen before. Quoting from the back cover...
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...
Some of the books in the Country Bumpkin series of A-Z needlework books have been re-written and newly released under the Search Press Classics name.This is essentially the same book, without the spiral binding and at a nice lower price.The sub-title is Learn More then 100 Beautiful Stitches & Techniques.Although, once again, the focus is embroidery almost all of the stitches & techniques here are easily adaptable to Needlepoint. Quoting (and paraphrasing) from the back coverEmbroidery with g...
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...
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 have sold these books separately for years now. It never occured to me that they would make an excellent set of books until I saw them being offered that way on the rare book market.
Included in this set:
Guide to Upright Stitches
Guide to Slanted Stitches
Guide to Combination Stitches
Guide to looped and Knotted Stitches.
These are often considered, except for the Looped and Knotted Stitches, as just Bargello Stitches but they have many other uses in needlepoint and needlework.

The subtitle of the new book from Carole Lake & Michael Boren is :String Art For Needlepoint. Volume 1: Amadeus-Jessica.
They are, of course, the authors of the very popular book Painted Canvas Embellishment: An Idea Book & the Desert Island Stitches series (there is a new book in that series as well).
Quoting from the Introduction:This is not a rulebook, rather, it is a guidebook to these fascinating stitches. The stitching techniques laid out in this book reflect the way we work these stitch...
This is the second volume of Carole H. Lake and Michael E. Boren's 2 volume series of books, Twisty Stitches. String Art for Needlepoint.
This book has the patterns (or designs) named Mistake Stitch through Walneto.
The first volume was stitches Amadeus through Jessica, so I suppose Volume 2 complete this series.
Carole Lake and Michael Boren are the authors of the very popular book, Painted Canvas Embellishment: An Idea Book and The Desert Island Stitches series (2 books in that series...
I had not seen this June McKnight book before. it is copyrighted 1993 but perhaps not always available. It is, like the other June McKNight needlepoint books, and useful and very portable book. As I have done with some of the other June McKnight books, I think listing the chapters will give you a good idea of the contents. FOLIAGE 30 PAGES FLOWERS 36 PAGES GARDEN STRUCTURES 9 PAGES ANIMALS 10 PAGES INDEX OF TREES & FLOWERS The book is full of wonderful flower and foliage stitches, all easy to...
