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 wonderful book is from The Royal School of Needlework's Essential Stitch Guides Series. This is nicely done book with everything you need to know about Blackwork included. It is what you would expect from a book sanctioned by The Royal School of Needlework.
After the introduction there is a History of Blackwork, then a section on material, framing and design. There are 10 pages of stitches and each is shown in great detail, with line drawings, full color photographs of the stitch in progr...
This unusual book is subtitled: An International Collection. It has 63 needlepoint projects based on woven designs. They are mostly graphic designs and I think they are wonderful (but I love graphic design).
It is more of a workbook than a design inspiration book. Sally Nicoletti is an experienced needlepointer and author of other books on needlepoint. Her Japanese Motifs For Needlepoint is also available here
My bibliography gives this book a D for difficulty, which is it's highest level...
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...
This book is published in France and in the French language but that does not really effect the designs and information. There is almost no text, in any langauge other then the preface and the 2 page Conseils Techniques which means Examples Of Use.
There are many nature and plant based needlepoint design books, flowers, flora, trees & shrubs, landscape etc. but I know of no other book dedicated to vegetables.
This is an extraordinary book, each desgn has 6 pages. The first page is a stitched e...
Jean Hilton was a very popular and prolific needlework designer. She was recognized as one of the top Canvas Embroidery (needlepoint) designers in the US for what is now called Counted Thread Work.Jean Hilton died at her home in Arizona in May of 2009.Her self-published book is very rare and hard to find.This is a pristine, like new copy, signed by Jean Hilton 12/1992.Jean Hilton's Needlepoint Stitches is subtitled: Original Stitches Plus Variations of Familiar Stitches with Charts and W...
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...
I am a fan of Yukiko Ogura's stitchery books. They are well translated to English and the instructions and pictures are excellent.
This book was available new until recently, it no longer is howevcer this copy, except for some slight storagerippling on the spine (from being stored standing upright which is the right way to keep books) it is in perfect condition.
First up, ignore the word *Embroidery* in the title (or not, if the idea interests you). Most of the techniques here will work...
The cover attracted me to this book. It shows the same graphic done on 4 colorways. This clearly illustrates the effect color can and does have on design. The subtitle is : A Review of Past Tradition and Modern Theories. To quote the back cover (always a good resource) "This is an essential basic book on color, written by the best-known colorist of our times, for beginners seeking a through grounding in the comprehension and solution of color problems and for mature artists and teachers intere...
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 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...
Father B's 21st Century Book of Stitches is now out-of-print. It was the collection of the American Needlepoint Guild's (ANG) Stitch of the Month along with some of Father B's own stitches from 1982 until the last edition in 2000.This book is a sampler of the best of those stitches, chosen by Beth Howren, a very accomplished and well known needlepoint author.This small book (the perfect size to carry in your needlepoint tote bag) has 110 easy to read stitch diagrams complete with l...
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...
