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...

Marnie Ritter's Canvas Patterns Book 1 and Book 2
Marnie Ritter's Canvas Patterns Book 1 and Book 2
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...

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...

Needlepoint Samplers by Felicity Lewis
Needlepoint Samplers by Felicity Lewis
Needlepoint Samplers is an unusual book and quite hard-to-find. Samplers for Needlepoint is not a subject that has been written about much and this book does it very well. Stitched samplers were one of the most popular forms of needlework from the 17th century to the end of the 19th century. Indeed, they are still being stitched today. Most of what you see are Embroidered or Cross Stitch Samplers on cloth. Needlepoint Samplers are rare. The author traces the development of Needlepoint Samplers...

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...

Beth Russell's William Morris Needlepoint
Beth Russell's William Morris Needlepoint
Beth Russell has become an authority on Arts & Crafts Movement Needlepoint designs. This is a handsome book, beautifully mounted and photographed. This seems to be a very hard-to-find book and a used copy in this condition might be relatively rare. It does not look like this book has been opened or read. The book has 22 needlepoint charts based on original William Morris designs. They are really beautiful needlepoints but I have to say (in the service of honesty) I would not want to have to fol...

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...

The Beginner's Guide to Blackwork by Lesley Wilkins
The Beginner's Guide to Blackwork by Lesley Wilkins
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...

Needlepoint Cats by Julie Hasler
Needlepoint Cats by Julie Hasler
OK, I love cats and I love Needlepoint Cats books.  I list 2 wonderful vintage cat needlepoint books, Martin Leman's Needlepoint Cats and William Brister's The Needlepoint Cat.....well, here's another. This is a 1998 book by British Author Julie Hasler.  Included are 35 feline designs with a wide range of cat breeds from Tabby to Exotics.  Julie Hasler has a wonderful *eye* for cat moods and attitudes.  These are great Cats.   There are needlepoint cat framed miniatures, quite...
