The Needlepoint Lace in this book refers to and lace made entirely with needleand thread as opposed to "bobbin or Pillow lace" worked with bobbins on a firm base.
Quoting from the dust jacket: " Nenia Lowry has made a special study of the technique and design of the many laces and is herself and experienced and accomplished teacher."
This is anther wonderful Batsford needlework book from the UK. The book begins with a glossary of terms used, "The characteristics of the different types of needl...
Of the many needlepoint design book based on other cultures, Africian design is one you don't often see. The subtitle for this books is: Charted Fort Easy User and indeed the charts are good size, often large in full color. There are no tiny block charts to peer at.
This is a Dover Needlework Series book (or perhaps it should be called a booklet at just 41pages) published in 1976. The designs are very modern, not 1970s looking or colors.
Each design is charted in both black and white and...
This is an unusual needlepoint book, I know there are very few (if any) other books on this subject. This book has 43 color plates and 28 diagrams. This book has become incredibly rare. I have sold a number of them over the years and each time I try to replace it, it gets harder to find and more expensive. I think this unique book is worth it.
I know the price of this book is high. I price these rare books based on what it costs me to buy them for re-sale.
All the stitch charts are don...
This book is a find with a capitol F. Jane Zimmerman books are rare, they are hard to find in excellent condition. This title is poarticularly rare and in almost new condition.
Jane Zimmerman's books very detailed. This book is not intended fir a novice or inexperienced stitcher. This is written on the front cover: "This comprehensive authoritative manual, with over 320 stitch pattern variations, explores all facets of silk and metal thread embroidery of the past suitable for use in pres...
This book lists Pauline Fischer as the author and then credits Mary Lou Smith with the text. I am not sure what that means but I expect as I go along, I will find out.
Pauline Fischer is also the co-author of Bargello Magic with Anabel Lasker.
Quoting (and paraphrasing/editing) from the dust jacket flap:
"The treasure of Tutankamun have inspired decorators and designers alike to create fabrics, furniture and jewelry for the 1970s, but this is the first book for the amateur needleworker to...
30 Original Designs Adapted from Eskimo, Polynesian and Indian Art. All Completely Graphed and Shown in Color. Those are the subtitle lines from this interesting book. The Gay Ann Rogers Needlepoint books seem to all be fairly rare. I am not surprised. This is an amazing and unusual book. the books takes you from soup to nuts. so to speak. There are chapters on Getting Started, Your Project, Stitches, Designing Your Own, Transferring a Design to Canvas and Finishing Your Project plus a Glossa...
This wonderful book has been discontiued. I know it is silly but I am upset. This is an amazing book and of course, the moment some books get discontinued, the price goes wild.
I know the price of this book is high. I price these rare books based on what it costs me to buy them for re-sale. I'm not sure how to say this, I am not making a huge profit here. This book has become very hard to find, very rare and very expensive. I dislike this as much as you do.

Despite the existence of several newly published books on finishing, this classic book, Finishing and Mounting Your Needlepoint Pieces, remains a popular and requested book.
Although this book's focus is finishing and mounting finshed needlepoint projects, it also has 40 original needlepoint designs. Covered are blocking, lining, mitering corners etc. There is complete information on how to make trims of braid, cord. fringes and tassels. The book has many pictures illustrating these technique...
I have noticed a trend in needlepoint, many of the current designs feature people, faces and bodies. While there have always been some designs like this, they do seem to becoming more popular.
I have looked and looked. As far as I can tell there are only 2 needlework books that deal with people. One is a current book by Jan Messant, Embroidered Portraits.
The other is this book, Faces and Figures in Embroidery by Valerie Harding. Both books specify Embroidery in their titles and instru...
This book was recommended to me by Jane, the master stitcher and all around great lady of The Chilly Hollow Needlepoint Adventure Blog. She told me this book was worth looking at and I agree. It features 125 stitch diagrams of Couched or Laid Fillings. This book is extremely rare and very expensive. Very. I am selling it at a smaller then normal mark-up. I don't want to upset anyone with a scary price.
To quote from Jean Taggert on the back cover " I assembled this collection of diagrams to...
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...
An unusual book and one I had not heard of before I began searching for these books. It focuses on geometric needlepoint designs, mostly with just one or two colors, occasionally three colors. The designs use stitch and texture to create their effect and they sure do. This book has been a consistant & steady seller for years now, here on NewNeedlepoint.com. There are 20 designs in this book, not only are all the pictures in color but so are the graphs, which is wonderful. Mrs Edmonds, who I h...
