RARE Needlepoint Design Book
Products
This is an unusual needlepoint book, I know there are very few (if any) other books on this subject. This book has 43 color plates and 28 diagrams. This book has become incredibly rare. I have sold a number of them over the years and each time I try to replace it, it gets harder to find and more expensive. I think this unique book is worth it.
I know the price of this book is high. I price these rare books based on what it costs me to buy them for re-sale.
All the stitch charts are done...
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...
30 Original Designs Adapted from Eskimo, Polynesian and Indian Art. All Completely Graphed and Shown in Color. Those are the subtitle lines from this interesting book. The Gay Ann Rogers Needlepoint books seem to all be fairly rare. I am not surprised. This is an amazing and unusual book. the books takes you from soup to nuts. so to speak. There are chapters on Getting Started, Your Project, Stitches, Designing Your Own, Transferring a Design to Canvas and Finishing Your Project plus a Glossa...
Subtitled: 30 Exotic Designs from Persia, India, Korea, China and Japan. Gay Ann Rogers is the author of several very interesting and hard-to-find Needlepoint books. While this topic, Designs From Asia, is not unique, her designs are unusual. A few of the designs in this book look familiar, most of them are "off the beaten path", needlepoint design wise. The graphs are in Black and White and include color placement symbols. There are many color pictures. The chapters are very complete, all the...
Maggie Lane is one of the best known names in Needlepoint. Her many books, published mostly in the 1970s, remain some of the best. They include Gold and Silver Needlepoint, Needlepoint By Design, More Needlepoint By Design, Chinese Rugs Designed For Needlepoint, Rugs and Wall Hangings. She is Co-Author for the famous A Pageant Of Pattern For Needlepoint with Sherlee Lantz and of course, this book. Maggie Lane grew up on China, with her missionary parents. Much of her design is oriental in feel...
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...
I have lost count of how many copies of this book I have sold, the first one sold fast and they continue to sell. I am having a hard time getting copies in very good condition. The book is subtitled: Themes and Variations. it has a full chapter on technique and a large assortment of beautiful patterns, all shown in color, with clear graphs on the facing page. Needlepoint and Patterns has many Bargello Needlepoint patterns as well as Needlepoint.
This is a large, hardcover book published by...
Maggie Lane is a very well known name in Needlepoint, she is the author of a number of books including Needlepoint By Design: Variations on Chinese Themes, More Needlepoint By Design, Maggie Lane's Needlepoint Pillows and her work on the iconic book Pageant and Pattern for Needlepoint Canvas with Shirlee Lanz, Chinese Rugs Designed For Needlepoint not to mention Gold and Silver Needlepoint.
These remain important needlepoint books, even all these years later. This book is less well kn...
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 Picasso...
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...
The subtitle to this book is: Designs From Asia, Africa and The Americas.
Mary Norden is also the author of Mary Norden's Needlepoint, a interesting book with some *not seen everywhere* designs and ideas.
This book is her take on design from other cultures. To quote from the dust jacket flap
"From the rich and dazzling array of ethnic textiles from around the world Mary Norden has distilled this exotic collection of over 50 projects and ideas for your home."
"Twenty seven full color c...
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...
