Stitch Alphabets and Numbers by Felicity Hall
Stitch Alphabets and Numbers by Felicity Hall
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...

Patterned Backgrounds For Needlepoint by Sheila Marton and Mimi Selick
Patterned Backgrounds For Needlepoint by Sheila Marton and Mimi Selick
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...

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...

Gold and Silver Needlepoint by Maggie Lane
Gold and Silver Needlepoint by Maggie Lane
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...

Metallic Thread Embroidery by Jacqueline Friedman Kreinik
Metallic Thread Embroidery by Jacqueline Friedman Kreinik
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 New York Times Book of Needlepoint for Left-Handers by Elaine Slater
The New York Times Book of Needlepoint for Left-Handers by Elaine Slater
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.

Jean Hilton's Borderlines
Jean Hilton's Borderlines
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...

A Gardener's Book of Needlepoint by Bodi, Merrill and di Montezemolo
A Gardener's Book of Needlepoint by Bodi, Merrill and di Montezemolo
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...

Needlework Monograms: Unlimited Contemporary Styles by B. Borssuck
Needlework Monograms: Unlimited Contemporary Styles by B. Borssuck
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...

Glorafilia: The Impressionists in Needlepoint by Carole Lazarus and Jennifer Berman
Glorafilia: The Impressionists in Needlepoint by Carole Lazarus and Jennifer Berman
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...

I have always been interested in Blackwork and drawn to it when I see it. So.....I saw this book on the wholesaler's list and thought, why not? Although the Title of this book is "The Beginner's Guide to Blackwork" this is not a beginners book. I recommend it to mid-level or advanced stitchers I am quoting from the introduction "Blackwork is a counted thread method of needlework (ok, it said embroidery but I used the word needlework) using straight stitches in a contrasting color worke...

Laid Fillings for Evenweave Fabrics by Jean Taggert
Laid Fillings for Evenweave Fabrics by Jean Taggert
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 rare and hard to get.   Each time I search for it, it costs more.  My vintage/rare book prices are based n what it costs me to get the book.

The New York Times Book of Needlepoint by Elaine Slater
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...

Glorafilia: The Ultimate Needlepoint Collection by Carole Lazarus and Jennifer Berman
In the late 1980's Carole Lazarus and Jennifer Berman had an idea for variations to Needlepoint Stitchery. At that time most of us were doing "plain stitching" (I still am, I love it) and the only serious mention of Decorative Stitching was in Margaret Boyles 1974 book, Needlepoint Stitchery (yes, I have it for sale in my Rare Needlepoint Reference Books category).

This is an earlier Glorafilia book, published in 1991. The Venice Collection designs are more classic than some of the other books, more with "that feeling", if you know what I mean. All of the Glorafiliia books are very beautiful. This book is full of gorgeous pictures of both the needlepoint designs and of Venice. There is section on Venetian Textiles, again with many beautiful pictures. Clearly these needlepoint designs are inspired by some of these textiles. Glorafilia Stitching is a combi...

Glorafilia Needlepoint Collection by Jennifer Berman and Carole Lazarus
This is the first in the series of Glorafilia Needlepoint books, it was published in 1997. I was not sure, at first, what made Glorafilia Needlepoint different but after skimming these books I think it was the use of "special" stitches back when almost no one was using them plus mixing Long and Short Stitch with the traditional needlepoint Continental or Basketweave Stitches. At any rate, the effects are gorgeous. Each of the projects in the book has detailed instructions, color charts and a...
