Sherlee Lantz is well known as the creator and author of the book TrianglePoint as well as this, her encyclopedic and huge (508 pages) book on the structure and geometry of needlepoint. The book is subtitled: Centuries of Design, Textures, Stitches A New Exploration I never noticed this before but the back cover has recommendations from some unusual people like: The New York Times, Leo Lerman, Romain Gary and Jules Feiffer. From the front dust jacket We usually associate the abstract beauties...
This is the ultimate *Scrap Threads* design. The Mona Lisa Cats design uses 37 colors. Besides, they are absolutely charming. Patt calls these excellent cats Kittens, as far as I am concerned they are cats, cats, cats. They are all smiling, they remind me of Leonardo Da Vinci's Mona Lisa . The design area is 10 X 9 inches The entire canvas measures 14 X 13 inches, it are 14 mesh. The Patt and Lee Designs needlepoint canvases are Glicee Original Design Needlepoint. These are superior needlepoi...
From Pajamas and Chocolate's wonderful Colorful Animals series comes this handsome, alert German Shepherd needlepoint ornament.
He is very well done, the design uses 16 colors.
The design area measures 4 inches across. The entire canvas is 7.75 X 8 inches. It is 18 mesh.
I have assembled this kit using DMC and Anchor #8 size Perle Cotton Floss.
#8 floss is wonderful for stitching 18 or smaller mesh canvas. It slides through with no pulling and little knotting.
I usually suggest stitching wi...
I am and have been, since I first saw one, a admirer of the Kirk amp; Hamilton line of hand painted needlepoint canvases. I also adore Peonies, I have planted a number of them in the small gardens around my townhouse. Back when I had big gardens, I had more peonies. That said... This is a beautiful close-up of a single Peony flower, done in shades of pink, from dark to light. There are 5 shades in the flowers including a touch of white for highlighting. The leaves are very detailed, the Peon...
I love the feeling I get when I look at this design, it feels peaceful. I think of the word Peace on here as World Peace, Peace of Mind and Peacefulness.
There are many elements in this hand painted original design by Laurel Burch. The smiling quarter moon, the birds, the flowers, the many golden stars against a night sky.
Peace Moon would make a excellent framed picture for a child's (or grandchild's, or neice's or nephew's room. Your own room even)
There is so much detail here, trying to...
The inspiration for this design is an Antique Wood Block Print. I had no idea how this design would look when stitched, really. I don't have the time to stitch most of the designs I do, so I visualize them stitched. I always liked this design but even so......When I saw the Antique Wood Block Peony stitched I was floored, for lack of a better word.
This is a somewhat unique needlepoint canvas. It is a NewNeedlepoint.com original design. When I first started my web store I tried designing amp...
This is a wonderful and popular original design needlepoint By Laurel Burch. 3 handpainted colorful dogs are standing one on top of the other, to make of course, a pyramid.
There are several things I like about this design but chief among them is that the background is plain, unmarked or designed and white. With the possible exception of the very darkest colors, you could do the background in any color, pattern, design or stitch you liked.
It would also be an excellent place for a border de...
A charming, new 2015 Laurel Burch design needlepoint canvas with a handsome cat offering a bouquet of flowers to his love. He looks like a He to me but it could really be any cat, male or female with flowers. Are they for the love to his or her life? Which, of course, could be any of us wonderful cat parents/owners (you never do really own a cat, I know this). The design area of this hand painted needlepoint canvas measures 5 X 8 inches. The entire canvas measures 9.75 X 12.5 inches. it is 18...
I was glad to find a Daylight folding lamp at a reasonable price. The only great stitching lights with this folding convenient designs that I knew of were the Ott Lights, which are fairly expensive.
This handy lamp is made by Daylightcompany.com. On the front of the box it says Natural Daylight13 Color Matching Tube (75W equivalent)
Interesting, they are made in New Holland, PA which is very near to me here in Lancaster. There is some text on the side of the box in French, German and Italian...
Sandy's Finishing Touches is subtitled A Step-By-Step Guide To Finishing Needlework. I thought this might be a great book to have for sale here, since I know I know almost nothing about finishing off the needlepoint I stitch, beyond blocking it. 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...
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...
There has been an amazing response to my article on B. Borssuck's Alphabet amp; Monogram books in Needlepoint Now magazine.
Almost all the orders I recieved were for both books.
I am completely sold out of 97 Alphabets for Needlepoint and can't find any more copies at any kind of reasonable price (as in under $80.00 my cost). This has happened to me before, I buy so many copies of a particular out-of-print book that I create the rarity and the prices skyrocket.
I do have a number of copie...
The Royal School of Needlework books are some of the best needlepoint amp; needlework books out there. This new one is GOLDWORK by Helen McCook. I like this, it is written on the back of this (and every) book. The Royal School of Needlework teaches Hand Embroidery to the highest standard, developing techniques in new and innovative ways. 'I don't think it could be said better then that. Please take the use of *embroidery* as an all encompassing term. In the UK they often call needlepoint Canv...
I snagged a copy of this for myself. Long amp; Short Embroidery is absolutely beautiful (as is L amp; S Needlepoint). It is used in Glorafilia designs and is is widely mentioned but there are scant or non complete directions for how to do it right. The subtitle to Long amp; Short Embroidery is A Collection of Flowers. Each project or example (there are too many to do them all) has a close up stitched picture of the flower or flowers. Then a template drawing. The thread Key is done using DMC amp...
This is one of my favorite Bargello Needlepoint reference books. I have a few that I refer to constantly and this is one of them.
This is the USA edition of another fine Batsford English Needlework book, Florentine Canvaswork. This American edition, published the same year, is the exact same book with a different title. Dorothy Phelan's wonderful book is divided into 2 distinct parts. The first part is a study of the history and characteristics of this needle art and a comprehensive guide to...
Before you react to this book's title, while it is an embroidery book, there is very little here that can't be used for needlepoint. I have not ever seen a book about stitching faces or portraits before. I know I have seen a number of canvases with faces included in the design lately so I thought this book was worth a look. The subtitle is: Ideas, Inspiration and Techniques Jan Messant is a well-known name in embroidery. She is a teacher of Embroidery As An Art Form and a member of the Embroid...
This wonderful book has become one of the biggest sellers I have. Unfortunately, Pat Mazu has had to raise the price of her book. She says the increasing cost of the printing charges have made this necessary. I first heard about this book at the same place I learn so much about Needlepoint amp; 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...
I previously had this wonderful book listed here on NewNeedlepoint . Then one day when I was doing some basic maintenance on the web store site, I accidentally deleted it. Poof! As us usual for me, it has taken me forever to re-list it. Needlepoint for Chairs, Seats Stools has 11 marvelous new patterns specially designed for a range of seats from a dining chair to a piano stool. Full charts, shade colors stitch details for each piece. Detailed upholstery instructions to fit the needlepoi...
