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...
It is very difficult to get a salable copy for a reasonable price. Although this book was published in 1973 it is not dated at all, as current in design and instruction as any recent book. The New York Times Book of Needlepoint is one of the classic and I think important basic Needlepoint books. This is the book I learned to do Needlepoint from. it is set up to be easy to use and easy to understand. This book was published by Quadrangle/The New York Times Book Co. on 1973.This has recently be...
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...

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...

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.
