The subtitle for this interesting book is:
120 Contemporary Designs Fort Cross Stitch and Needlepoint.
So many of the current Alphabet books are based on historic designs andf lettering, it is nice to see a book with a more miodern take. Plus, numbers are very rare among these books. You wouldn't think this was so but it is.
Stitch Alphabets and Numbers begins with some basics, materials needed, basic designs and how to approach it all.
The alphabets in this book are truly unique. I b...
I am a fan of B. Borssuck books in general. 3 of my articles for Needlepoint Now magazine have been on B.'s books. This is her excellent letters (and numbers, it is very hard to find stitchery books with numbers as well as letters in them). The other big plus here is that this book is designed and charted for needlepoint. Most are embroidery or cross-stitch and have to be slightly adapted for needlepoint.
Each Alphabet or Number in this book is graphed full size, so the graphs can b...
Both these excellent needlepoint pattern books are rare, both edition book 1 and book 2 together is unheard of. It took me a long time to get both these books, from different sources but I did it (I am a stubborn old broad, said with admiration for myself, lol).There are many, many stitch books. There are some pattern books but not as many. This is done with Marnie's skill and clarity.Marnie begins book 1 with a one page tutorial on Counting On The Diagonal. Then she goes right in...
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...
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...
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...
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...
Another wonderful Glorafilia Needlepoint book, this one is not as well known as the others. The subtitle reads: Over 16 Exquisitely Small and Easy-to-Make Projects. This is a lovely small book with small Glorafilia designs in it. The projects, ranges from a picture of Teddy Bears , a Teapot pin cushion, a jewelry roll, 2 Staffordshire Dogs, various small cushions etc. As always, all the pictures, charts & color keys are in full color. The directions are clear and complete. Published by Crown...
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...
The needlepoint design shown above is an adaptation of an early drawing by Picasso. it is highlighted by texture and I think it is wonderful.
This book is very hard to find in anything close to good condition. They all say "good condition" when you order them but what arrives is often awful. I have finally managed to buy a good condition "good condition" copy of the New York Times Book of Needlepoint for Left Handers at a not-so-good higher price. This is an amazing book. It is by Elaine...
This is a book for experienced stitchers looking to expand and enhance their skills.
This book is subtitled: 27 Lessons in Advanced Canvas Work. On the dust jacket the author states that the lessons in this book are for anyone from beginner to expert stitcher but I think this book is for an experienced stitcher who is looking for more. More techniques, more stitches, more complex and interesting ways to enhance their needlepoint projects. The book is arranged point by point like a series of le...
A beautiful book, as much for the pictures of the Ribbon Embroidery pieces stitched and how some of them are used. Satin and Silk Ribbon Embroidery is out-of-print and new copies are rare. This is one of the earlier books on Ribbon Stitching, which has become so popular in the last few years. The book begins with an overview on working with Silk Ribbon. Then it shows 5 pages of simple stitches for Silk Ribbon stitching with multiple stitches per page. Next is something I have not seen before...
