With Illustrations by Kurt Loftus. Left Handed Stitching is a very much overlooked subject in needlework. I know of only one other book on the subject, the New York Times Book of Needlepoint for Left Handers and it is so rare it is difficult to find. It is long out of print. This is a more concise book, aimed at Embroiders and useful to Cross-Stitchers. There are instructions for 45 stitches using 96 drawings. In the forward the author, Sally Cowan who is also the author of Left Handed Se...
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...
Ann Benson is a very well known teacher and writer on beading and Beadwork. Her book Beadpoint is still being published and is available here in my New Book category Beadwork.This is her basic, beginner's instruction manual and as someone who does not know much (or anything) about bead embroidery or bead stringing or anything, I was able to look at her book and judge is as, indeed, a beginner.She begins with the basics and then the book is formatted as a series of *How Do I* questions. It d...
Carol Belanger Grafton is a familiar name, she has edited several other books of this kind. I stopped counting at 13 titles, there were more. I carry some of her's fine compilations here in both my New Monogram and Alphabets category as well as several of her used books.When I saw this title I could not resist and I am glad I did not. This is truly a unique collection of Monograms and Alphabets. There are all different sizes and styles here but I want to show you a close up of just one of ma...
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...
Canvas Embroidery is yet another name for Needlepoint. It is more commonly used in the UK and Europe but still, it is needlepoint. Even though the books designates itself Embroidery-Skills, still Needlepoint. The inside flap of the dust jacket calls this a very practical & down-to-earth book. To quote briefly "The authors show how this traditional needlecraft can be used to create exciting and innovative designs". Canvas Embroidery starts at the beginning, with basic skills & stitches describe...
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...

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 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...
