New Embroidery and Cross-Stitch Books

I have recently become aware of these gorgeous book about stitching flowers & gardens by Diana Lampe. I was aware of her name and the type of books she wrote but had no idea how wonderful they were until I saw one. WOW!.
I do love pansies and this amazing book has 93 different pansies to stitch (not kidding) & 4 of the variety Heartsease. The book begins with the basics, 4 pages of full color pansies to choose from. Materials & equipment, working notes on pansies, how to stitch a pansy, finis...
The Royal School of Needlework books are some of the best needlepoint & needlework books out there. This new one is GOLDWORK by Helen McCook. I like this, it is written on the back of this (and every) book. "The Royal School of Needlework teaches Hand Embroidery to the highest standard, developing techniques in new and innovative ways." 'I don't think it could be said better then that. Please take the use of *embroidery* as an all encompassing term. In the UK they often call needlepoint Canva...
Dover Press publishes an amazing variety of design books for artists, stitcher, designers etc. They also bring back into print books that are forgotten but interesting and useful. This book was originally copyrighted and published in 1988. the inside title page does not give me a re-print date but it is clearly a new book. The introduction gives you the how-tos for using these designs for: Cross-Stitch Needlepoint Knitting Crochet Decorative Alphabets has a charming collection of 30 charted d...
The entire title of this book is A Victorian Floral Alphabet In Cross-Stitch, Canvaswork & Crewel Embroidery. In the UK, where this was published, Canvaswork is another name for Needlepoint. I know you all know this already. This book is not what I thought it was when I ordered it. (remember I buy these books sight unseen,mostly by a very brief blurb and the author's name. Sue Hawkins is a familiar name, to me). It is not an Alphabet book, it is a book or stitched flowers. The first lett...
I am very impressed with this book, This comprehensive reference book has 53 Complete Fonts.
That means that each & every letter for 53 different alphabets are here. The sizes vary as do the style and look of the letters within the Celtic & Medieval. These fonts can be used for Embroidery, Cross-Stitch, Needlepoint or just about any lettering purpose. The author has selected and arranged these fonts, by type, from the SoloType Typographers Catalog. Quoted from the back cover : "Facing the...
I know, I have many of these Silk Ribbon stitching books here in my web store, but in my own defense, these books have gorgeous projects, beautiful stitching. If I could add another line of threads to NewNeedlepoint.com, it would be Silk Ribbons. I would love to kit with them, use them with other threads. Oh well...... Back to my subject. The flowers, made with Silk Ribbon, in this book are spectacular. There is quite a bit of technique here. The flowers have texture and depth. Many stand out...
Last time I was able to list this book (which was several years ago) it was 4000 Flower & Plant Motifs. It sold almost immediately and I was not able to find any more copies.
This useful book was revised and published by Batsford, in the UK in 2011 and is now available again.
This time it has 5000 (yes, not a typo..5 thousand) Flower & Plant Motifs with all five thousand images on a free CD that comes with the book.
This is such an unusual book, it is indeed a designers sourcebook for flower...
First published in 1987, this edition of Kreuzstich Alphabete is dated 1995. The book is written in German however, there is almost no text in this book, aside from the introduction. This is a new book. It did not come with a dust jacket.
German language or not, this is a interesting and creative lettering book. There is really not much need for any english text here. The graphs are very well done, easy to use and understand.
What there is, is alphabets, many and very varied alphab...
Jane Nicholas is an authority in Stumpwork, she is the author of 8 books on Stumpwork stitchery including The Complete Book of Stumpwork.
This is a Milner Craft Series book, one of Sally Milner Publishing's excdellent stitchery books from Australia.
In the introduction to this handsome book Jane Nicholas says her inspiration for this book was her fascination with medieval illuminated books such as The Book Of Hours. She was driven to embroider them and used the techniques of stumpwork to enh...
I can't say enough in praise of these wonderful Royal School of Needlework Essential Stitch Guides books. I have been waiting for this one for some months now. Bead Embroidery is not what you think of as *embroidery*. The cover shows a needlepoint piece stitched using beads & varied threads. The RSN, in the UK often refer to needlepoint as Canvas Embroidery. Everything in this book is adaptable to both. This is a "soup to nuts" guide, beginning with a short history of Bead Embroidery. It take...
Blackwork is (or can be) any 2 color stitching design (except for Whitework which is slightly different). There are books on Redwork and I suppose there could be Purplework or Greenwork and on.
Quoting and paraphrasing a lbit from the back cover:
"Blackwork Embroidery was very popular in Tudor times, and it is now enjoying a tremendous revival. A form of counted-thread work, Blackwork emphasizes shading contrast that are possible woeking with a single color thread."
"After covering the...
I am finding these needlepoint and embroidery design books in French to be excellent. The designs are original and well done and I don't find the lack of the English language to be much of a barrier.
While many of them have measurements in both inches and metric, this one's measureing is in metric. That is easy enough to translate with any search engine, if you are not familar with them.
The charts for these designs are clear and in full color with color keys for each.
The designs are:
