Whenever Metallic Thread needlepoint or embroidery comes up, the first name we all think of is Kreinik. Their threads are *the standard*, as far as I am concerned, anyway. Who better to write a book about this than Jacqueline Friedman Kreinik? The subtitle is: A Practical Guide To Stitching Creatively With Metallic Threads. The title page also mentions Ann Caswell as Design Co-ordinator. Although the book is titled for embroidery, almost everything here is applicable to needlepoint. Quoting...
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...
Distinctive Presentations is a fancy way of saying Needle Art finishing techniques. The subtitle is more direct:A Complete Guide to Professional Finishing for your Needlework.First published in 2014 with an impressive table of contents, the chapter headings are:Before We Finish Basic Blocking and Sizing Construction Zone...
I knew the name Jean Hilton as a great former needlepoint teacher and author. What I did not know was how many very rare, specialized needlework books she had written. Borderlines, first published in 1994, is one of them. In her introduction, she says that any needle work may be enhanced by a border just like a crown of gleaming hair surrounding a face. "Design, function, and harmony are principles that must be considered when you plan borders.""Design: What size border does the needlewo...
With three authors, the book's info did not fit in my "title space". It is: A Gardener's Book of Needlepoint by Jack Bodi, Meg Merrill and Catherine di Montezemolo. Meg Merrill's name is the most familiar, she is the co-author of Nature in Needlepoint with Eva Brent. This is a wonderful book, full of garden or flower based designs. In the last few years Kaffe Fassett has done a series of Needlepoint Kits for Erhman Tapestry based on Garden Vegetables, in close-up. There are a few designs si...
This is a mixture of wonderful, stylized pattern templates. There are 1000 of them in so many styles, fashions and designs. Pattern Motifs is an excellent resource for anyone designing well....anything.Unlike Graham Leslie McCallum's other motif books (most of them) this book does not include a CD. (not that one is lost, it never had one).The contents list designs from: Stone Age Europe, Neolithic Europe, Mesopotamia, Egyptian, Minoan, Mycenaean, Greek, Chinese, Early Celtic, Barbarian...
Many of the books in the Country Bumpkin series of A-Z needlework books have been re-written and newly released under the Search Press Classics name.This is one of the original Country Bumpkin books, not the re-issue. It has the familiar spiral binding inside a hard paper cover.
"Here, step-by-step directions and clear photographs show every stitch and technique, with advice from the experts on the ribbons, fabric and other materials you need. There are more than 40 projects, each with an e...
In researching, reading and looking at the titles pages and credits of all the Needlepoint Books I have been listing these last few weeks, several names have come to my attention over and over. One of them is Maggie Lane. She has been thanked, cited as a source, credited with creating stitch charts and cited as a source. There are just a few books out there actually by Maggie Lane however, they are outstanding needlepoint books. This continues to be a popular book. Despite the existence of se...
This is a very interesting book, it is a book subject and approach I have not seen before. Everybody always seems concerned with the "main event" in any piece of needlepoint. The main design or motif or whatever. So little thought is every given to backgrounds. In fact, most of today's most admired and creative needlepoint designers ignore the whole subject of backgrounds. It is left up to the individual stitchers to chose a background and often the colors as well. The book begins with a short...
There has been an amazing response to my article on B. Borssuck's Alphabet & Monogram books in Needlepoint Now magazine.
In the early 1980s B. Borssuck wrote several outstanding Needlework books. There are 2 Letters & numbers books, a wonderful Dog design book, one with borders, motifs etc & a Star Of David design book. Most of her designs are suitable for embroidery, cross-stitch or needlepoint. The subtitle to Needlework Monograms is Unlimited: Contemporary Styles Which is unusual in it...
Both these excellent needlepoint pattern books are rare, both of them. Being able to list book 1 and book 2 together is unusual (but very good).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. ThisCanvas Pattern book is done with Marnie's skill and clarity.Marnie begins book 1 with a one page tutorial on...
I was unsure what Glorafilia was but after reading these books I think it boils down to some unusual and decorative stitches (which were hardly used back in the 1990's when these books were published), Long and Short Stitch and traditional Continental or Basketweave stitch. The end effect is gorgeous and very well suited to Impressionists Art. This handsome book has original needlepoint designs using the art of Monet, Cezanne, Degas, Van Gogh, Morisot, Renior, Pisarro and Cassat. (no Picas...
