RARE Ribbonwork and Bead Books

When I first began NewNeedlepoint.com almost 10 years ago, this amazing book was still available new. It was very popular. Then one day it was out of print and became impossible to get.
I have emailed back and forth several times with Di van Nierkerk (who is a very nice lady and takes the time to respond to my pitiful emails). It is out of print and that is that.
For awhile it was impossibly expensive on the out-of-print, rare book markets. It has come down in price substantially but i...
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...
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...
A beautiful book, as much for the pictures of the Ribbon Embroidery pieces stitched and how some of them are used. Satin and Silk Ribbon Embroidery is out-of-print and new copies are rare. This is one of the earlier books on Ribbon Stitching, which has become so popular in the last few years. The book begins with an overview on working with Silk Ribbon. Then it shows 5 pages of simple stitches for Silk Ribbon stitching with multiple stitches per page. Next is something I have not seen...
Many of the books in the Country Bumpkin series of A-Z needlework books have been re-written and newly released under the Search Press Classics name.This is one of the original Country Bumpkin books, not the re-issue. It has the familiar spiral binding inside a hard paper cover.
"Here, step-by-step directions and clear photographs show every stitch and technique, with advice from the experts on the ribbons, fabric and other materials you need. There are more than 40 projects, each with an e...
This is another of the excellent needlework book from Sally Milner Publishing, The Milner Craft Series.
Helen Dafter is an acknowledged expert on Silk Ribbonwork. She is also the author of The Little Book of Silk Ribbon Flowers, Floral Interpretations for Silk Ribbon, and Silk Ribbon Embroidery: A Workshop Approach For Beginners,
Quoting (and paraphrasing a bit) from the back cover
"Using silk ribbon embriodery, Helen Darter has captured the perfect colors and formations of the flowers, t...
Di Van Niekerk is a very fine needlework teacher and author. She has made the areas of Ribbon Work and Stumpwork (often combined) her speciality. Embroidered Alphabets is ou-oprint now and has gotten very expensive & hard to find. I hate it that these excellent books go out-of-print so quickly. She is also the author of Cicely Mary Baker's Flower Faries in Ribbon Embroidery & Stumpwork, a really magical book as well as the wonderful Silk Roses book. This is her Embroidered Alphabets...
I am a fan of Yukiko Ogura's stitchery books. They are well translated to English and the instructions and pictures are excellent.
This book was available new until recently, it no longer is howevcer this copy, except for some slight storagerippling on the spine (from being stored standing upright which is the right way to keep books) it is in perfect condition.
First up, ignore the word *Embroidery* in the title (or not, if the idea interests you). Most of the techniques here will work...
Ann Benson is a very well known teacher and writer on beading and Beadwork. Her book Beadpoint is still being published and is available here in my New Book category Beadwork.This is her basic, beginner's instruction manual and as someone who does not know much (or anything) about bead embroidery or bead stringing or anything, I was able to look at her book and judge is as, indeed, a beginner.She begins with the basics and then the book is formatted as a series of *How Do I* questions. It d...
Lucinda Ganderton is a well-known name in Needlepoint books. She is the author or co-author of many books including the popular book, Stitch Sampler.
This book is subtitled Easy-To-Maker Accessories, Ornaments, Decorations & Stunning Objects Using Simple Techniques Showen in Over 850 Step-By-Step Photographs. The cover also says Over 100 Practical Projects. In paging through this book, I see that many of the projects are moire "Crafty" then pure needlework. There are needlework projects her...
This might be Di van Nierkerk's first book, published in 1995. If it's not, it is surely her first Ribbon Stitchery book. Di's books are wonderful but they seem to go out of print the week after I discover them. There are some titles of her's that I would love to see back in print (A Perfect World In Ribbon Embroidery and Stumpwork). Most of her out of print books are very expensive. I digress, as usual. While the focus here is embroidery there is nothing in this book that can't be easily adap...
I am a huge fan of the ribbonwork books by Yukiko Ogura. They are published in Japan, the copies I sell (both new & used) are all translated into English.
This is a rare book, there are not that many copies of this around. I found one used copy of this, in Japanese, selling for $287.00.
The book begins with staged, full color pictures of each project. They are impressive.
The pictures, diagrams and instructive pictures are all in fgull color, only the templates are in black and white...
