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."
This is anther wonderful Batsford needlework book from the UK. The book begins with a glossary of terms used, "The characteristics of the different types of needl...
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 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, 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 feeling, al...
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 don...
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...
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...
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...
The subtitle to this interesting looking book is *A Creative Approach to Canvas Embroidery* The Liberated Canvas was published in Cape Town, South Africa so, of course, Canvas Embroidery means Needlepoint. This is a rare book, it is so rare I doubt many people even know of it. I was drawn by the title, so I ordered it...knowing nothing about it, as usual.
very hard to find, very rare and very expensive. I dislike this as much as you do. It was also expensive, sorry. After looking through...
This interesting book is about historical lettering applications and lettering design more then an actual instruction book. There are graphs, lettering templates and instructions but design does seem to be most of what this book is about.
It is a Batsford Book, another of thier fine books on stitcery and published in the UK, so the historical design is mostly English. Still is is an interesting read and full of pictures.
The chapters are: History of Lettering, History of embroidered Letters...
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...
