Egyptian Designs In Modern Stitchery by Pauline Fischer
Egyptian Designs In Modern Stitchery by Pauline Fischer
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...

African Needlepoint Designs by Diana Oliver Turner
African Needlepoint Designs by Diana Oliver Turner
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...

Lettering in Embroidery by Janice Williams
Lettering in Embroidery by Janice Williams
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...

Samplers and Samplermakers by Mary Jaene Edmonds
Samplers and Samplermakers by Mary Jaene Edmonds
Mary Jaene Edmonds is also the author of Geometric Designs in Needlepoint, a very interesting book of designs way ahead of it's time.  It has been a constant seller on NewNeedlepoint.com. This is a very different kind of book.  The subtitle is An American Schoolgirl Art 1700-1850. This is not a design or project book.  It is an overview or if you like, an education in these amazing samplers.  Most girls were expected top learn stitchery and a sampler was often part of their education...

4000 Animal, Bird and Fish Motifs by Graham McCallum
4000 Animal, Bird and Fish Motifs by Graham McCallum
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...

Weaving Designs for Needlepoint by Sally Nicoletti
Weaving Designs for Needlepoint by Sally Nicoletti
This unusual book is subtitled: An International Collection. It has 63 needlepoint projects based on woven designs. They are mostly graphic designs and I think they are wonderful (but I love graphic design). It is more of a workbook than a design inspiration book. Sally Nicoletti is an experienced needlepointer and author of other books on needlepoint. Her Japanese Motifs For Needlepoint is also available here My bibliography gives this book a D for difficulty, which is it's highest level...

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...

Designs for Needlepoint and Latch Hook Rugs by Dorothy Kaestner
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...
