Dorothy Kaestner is, of course, famous for her wonderful Bargello Needlepoint books, Needlepoint Bargello, Bargello Antics & 4 Way Bargello, all of which I carry here on NewNeedlepoint in my rare Bargello Books category. I was pleased and surprised to find this rug book by Mrs. Kaestner. I did not know it existed and it is indeed rare. There is a wonderful cover picture of her stitching on a very large, very beautiful rug. On the back of the dust jacket is a gorgeous Bargello & Needlepoint rug...
The Graham McCallum books are a wonderful resource for anyone designing, imagining or even looking for a variety of ideas in one place. This is a big heavy book, with indeed 4000 drawings in it. he calls it a Sourcebook and I agree.The contents are divided in an interesting way. Instead of by animal, fish or bird types, it is organized by age or style or I am not sure by what but it is interesting:Stone Age Europe...
The full set of 5 books in the Designer's Guide to Color series published by Chronicle Books with introductions by James Stockton.The series has different authors. Book 1 & Book 2 do not list any authors. Book 3 is JeanneAllen, Book 4 & Book 4 are Ikuyoshi Shibukowa & Yumi Takahashi.Quoting from the last paragraph of the introduction to book 2: " This book is an invitation to look at color in new ways, to perceive color differently and moire accurately in experiment and to enjoy."Quoting f...
Both these excellent needlepoint pattern books are rare, both edition book 1 and book 2 together is unheard of. 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. This is done with Marnie's skill and clarity.Marnie begins book 1 with a one page tutorial on Counting On The Diagonal. Then she goes right in...
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...
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...
B. Borssuck is a well-known needlepoint author who in the late 1970s and the early 1980s wrote some terrific Needlepoint Monogram books. One of them, 97 Needlepoint Alphabets, has become a rare & important book. Picture Your Dog in Needlework is something of a departure for B. Borssuck, here she is working with Ann Jackson. Quoting (and probably paraphrasing some) from the back cover: "A collection if 40 remarkably realistic portraits containing single studies, captivating head views, deligh...
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...
Brazilian Embroidery is much mis-understood. Brazilian Embroidery is a highly textured, dimensional embroidery that uses a variety of stitches including knotted and cast-on stitches.It usually has flowers or gardens as the theme of the design. Brazilian Embroidery is usually stitched using high-sheen rayon thread. It is called Brazilian because the rayon threads were very often manufactured there.This is an incredibly rare book, the only other copy (besides mine) that I could find is...
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...
Subtitled: Inspirational Ideas & Techniques for Creating Original Designs. With a forward by Dame Joan Sutherland.This is not about the technical side of needlepoint or as this UK author calls it Canvas Embroidery (they all do).This book is about original design, rich color and varied textures. The author says his unusual and colorful designs are created with "his flair and intuition" That got my attention.Robert Capes talks about his beginning as a needlepointer. It was to reli...
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...
