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 & Stumpwork techniques & designs are easily adaptable to Needlepoint Canvas or Needlepoint on Woven Fabric. Ribbon Embroi...
Tracy A. Franklin is described as a "freelance traditional embroiderer". She trained at the Royal School of Needlework and continued to work there as a teacher, now she is a "freelance teacher". She is also the author of Contemporary Whitework, which is an excellent book which I have available in my used/rare book section. Tracy Franklin is also a contributor to The Royal School Of Needlework Embroidery Techniques book, which is also listed here in my RSN Book category. Although this book spec...
There are so many things I love about this book. I love the unique idea, the forms and colors used and the author's name "Gigs". On the back over is her picture, she is a good looking blonde. I imagined "Gigs" would have been more unusual looking but you never know, do you?
This book was published by Charles Scribner's Sons in 1977. I think it may be unique in it's subject. I think it is terrific. Since I first found it and began to sell copiues here it has become increasingly rare and hard...
This book is a find with a capitol F. Jane Zimmerman books are rare, they are hard to find in excellent condition. This title is poarticularly rare and in almost new condition.
Jane Zimmerman's books very detailed. This book is not intended fir a novice or inexperienced stitcher. This is written on the front cover: "This comprehensive authoritative manual, with over 320 stitch pattern variations, explores all facets of silk and metal thread embroidery of the past suitable for use in pres...
Another great needlepoint book by Sherlee Lantz, the author of A Pageant of Pattern for Needlepoint Canvas. This book is subtitled "From Persian Pavilions to Op Art with One Stitch. The book was published by Viking Press in 1978. This book has become harder and harder to find. I have sold many copies of it here and it is now almost impossible to find one in both good condition and not too expensive. I List this book in both the Bargello and the Needlepoint Reference book categories, it belongs...

Finally, June McKNight has re-designed the cover of this excellent book. It was almost impossible to read, white on yellow and drove me (and others) crazy (not too long a trip for me). The new deign is very good, readable and striking. Thanks June. Another of June McKnight's wonderful spiral bound needlepoint stitch books. This book focuses on stitches she considers "Architectural" . it is difficult for me to describe what she means by this. There are so many stitches here. I find that I tur...

Helen Dafter is an acknowledged expert on Silk Ribbonwork. She is also the author of The Little Book of Silk Ribbon Flowers, Floral Interpretations for Silk Ribbon, and Silk Ribbon Embroidery: A Workshop Approach For Beginners,
Quoting (and paraphrasing a bit) from the back cover
"Using silk ribbon embriodery, Helen Darter has captured the perfect colors and formations of the flowers, t...
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 stitches in this collection are intended to be used as background stitches. There are (by my best count) 66 of them in this book. Open work stitch backgrounds are increasingly popular. Lynda has added some of her thoughts to this unusual book, and interesting mix. The...
Lynda Richardson's Original Stitches A La Carte is a very popular book. It is a unique mixture of Open-Work stitches and Lynda's own stories.
Stitches A La Carte Book 2: The Lost Stitches is a similar book, with all new stitches. In addition to Lynda's "stories" she has added recipes.
There are 64 new stitches in this book and 18 short essays or receipes.
Open-Work stitches have many uses in needlepoint. They are wonderful for backgrounds as well as adding texture or interest to other a...
I have not had this book for sale here for a number of years, I can't remember exactly how long it has been.
I am now able to list and sell the excellent books by Ann Strite-Kurz. For a long time they were difficult to find but now I am getting them, brand new, from Ann. I am very happy about this.
Quoting from Ann's web site: "Diaper patterns have been of particular interest to Ann since she chose the topic as her research area for teacher certification in 1980. Her pamphlet titled The...

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...
