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...

The editors chose what to use.The format of the book is simila...
This is not a basic book on Bargello. It is not for beginners. Bargello Plus has unusual ideas and very interesting original designs featuring Bargello stitchery. The Bargello pattern stitches are combined with other "regular" needlepoint stitches to create the overall designs. The graphs and the instructions are very clear and complete. There is a section of Bargello Patterns and a section on free-form Bargello. There are 2 sections of good full color pictures. The designs and the colors are...
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...
This is a very interesting book, it is a book subject and approach I have not seen before. Everybody always seems concerned with the "main event" in any piece of needlepoint. The main design or motif or whatever. So little thought is every given to backgrounds. In fact, most of today's most admired and creative needlepoint designers ignore the whole subject of backgrounds. It is left up to the individual stitchers to chose a background and often the colors as well. The book begins with a short...
These are gorgeous letters to use as a lavish alphabet or as monograms. The Victorians did everything a little (or a lot) over the top and these fit that description. By the noted Victorian-era designer Karl Klimsch who excelled in the use of clean lines, shading and 3 dimensional effects. His 2 letter monograms were original published in Germany in 1869.These handsome monograms are easily re-produced, the size is easily changed with a copier or scanner. They are all copy-right free. This is...
For me, anyway, Shading has been one of the hardest things to learn. While you can learn most stitches by following a diagram, shading takes thought, planning and judgement (sort of like the rest of life, isn't it?). Most of the books I have found that teach Shading are embroidery books and they are concerned with Silk Shading. I find that every technique and approach they teach applies to Needlepoint as well. The author, Sarah Homfray, is a Graduate apprentice. To quote from the back cover...
The subtitle of this book is: Develop and perfect your stitching skills with over 20 step-by-step projects featuring traditional and innovative designs on canvas. The cover of this book is interesting for an interesting reason. This book was first published in 1991, most instruction books then used and show wool yarns mostly or exclusively. This book's cover has skeins of both wool and cotton floss. That is a good sign, in my opinion. Quoting from the back cover "Teaches a multitude of desig...
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...

The RSN Book of Embroidery now includes Crewelwork, Blackwork, Whitework, Silk Shading, Stumpwork, Bead Embroidery, Canvaswork, and Goldwork. It does not replace th...
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...
