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...
This book was published in association with the WWF, The World Wide Fund for Nature. It has 23 needlepoint designs featuring exotic animals, birds and flowers on the endangered species list. Wildlife in Needlepoint was published in England by Anaya Publishers LTD in 1992. It is a large coffee table size book full of beautiful full color pictures and color guides for each design. What it does not have is Stitch Graphs or Charts showing how to stitch these fine designs. On the "How to Use This B...

Finally, back in stock. Mary Rhodes is a well-known and expert English Needlepoint instructor. I have sold many copies of this Mary Rhodes books here on NewNeedlepoint.com. In fact, I have sold many copies of all Mary Rhodes needlework books. Clearly, I am a fan of Mrs. Rhodes books. As I buy these books to sell here some of them are becoming harder to get and more expensive. I have sold a lot of copies of this book, in fact a surprising number. I am sorry about the rise in price, it only ref...
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."

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...

Maggie Lane grew up on China, with her missionary parents. Much of her design is oriental in feeling, al...
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...

There are chapters on Getting Started, Your Project, Stitches, Designing Your Own, Transferring a Design to Canvas and Finishing Your Project plus a Glossa...
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...
Sherlee Lantz is well known as the creator and author of the book TrianglePoint as well as this, her encyclopedic and huge (508 pages) book on the structure and geometry of needlepoint. The book is subtitled: Centuries of Design, Textures, Stitches A New Exploration I never noticed this before but the back cover has recommendations from some unusual people like: The New York Times, Leo Lerman, Romain Gary and Jules Feiffer. From the front dust jacket" We usually associate the abstract beautie...
This is a large, coffee table size book. This is a quote from the cover of the book, something of a sub-title "102 designs derived from art of the past from Ancient Egypt and Classical Greece to the Renaissance, the American Folk Tradition and Art Nouveau"
As you can see, the picture used for the dust jacket is very much American Folk Art. I thought that this book was about American Historical Art used for Needlepoint. I was very surprised when I actually received the book. The dust jacket is i...
