I am often asked about books of lettering and monograms for stitchers. There are a few good ones out there but none as comprehensive as this one. This is another of Graham Leslie McCallum's excellent sourcebooks containing 4000 Alphabets & Letters and including a CD with everything on it. The book includes whole alphabets and elaborate initials (monograms) from Roman inscription to modern alphabets for graphic designers. The book also has a visual explanation of the development of l...
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...

Edited by Sue Ella Allen and John Waddell, copyright 2019.The members of the Lone Star Chapter submitted their favorite "hand charted stitches" (no photocopies) in the various categories. The editors chose what to use.The format of the book is simila...
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.
On the first page, Ann calls this book "ACollection Of Original Open Patterns For Canvas And Evenweave Fabrics".
There is only one other author who specializes in Open Patterns for Backgrounds (or indeed any stitching) but this book was the first for this idea having been published in 2003.
Quoting fr...
A new book by master teacher and silk ribbon embroidery expert Di van Niekerk with assistance from Toody Cassidy.This book is from The Search Press Textile Artist Series.Silk ribbon embroidery on felted fablers is new to me but the examples shown in this book are wonderful. The Art of Felting & Silk Ribbon Embroidery begins with an introduction by Di, ib it she quotes Gail Sheedy "Creativity can be described as letting go of certainties". I agree.There are complete instructions on felting...
With Illustrations by Kurt Loftus. Left Handed Stitching is a very much overlooked subject in needlework. I know of only one other book on the subject, the New York Times Book of Needlepoint for Left Handers and it is so rare it is difficult to find. It is long out of print. This is a more concise book, aimed at Embroiders and useful to Cross-Stitchers. There are instructions for 45 stitches using 96 drawings. In the forward the author, Sally Cowan who is also the author of Left Handed Se...
I am really impressed by all these new and very useful Beginner's Books. Some of these techniques can be overwhelming if you are new to them. Recently there has been a new Beginner's Silk Ribbon stitching book A Beginner's DVD on Silk Ribbon work by Helen Gibb, , a Beginner's Guide to Beading by Ann Cox, Needlepoint Secrets by June McKnight & Needlepoint: a Foundation Course by Sandra Hardy. These are just a few of the influx of Beginner's Books, some of the ones I have in stock here at NewNeed...
The entire title of this book is A Victorian Floral Alphabet In Cross-Stitch, Canvaswork & Crewel Embroidery. In the UK, where this was published, Canvaswork is another name for Needlepoint. I know you all know this already. This book is not what I thought it was when I ordered it. (remember I buy these books sight unseen,mostly by a very brief blurb and the author's name. Sue Hawkins is a familiar name, to me). It is not an Alphabet book, it is a book or stitched flowers. The first letter o...
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...
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...
