This booklet by Kenneth J Goelzer is rare and then some. There were, at one time, a small series of these Diamonds in the Round Bargellos but I only occasionally come across one of them. This is a very rare book, especially in this condition.The booklet is the cover design of a round bargello done in 8 way stitching. This is a variation of the 4-Way Bargello that we are all more familiar with. Or maybe I should call it an extension.Kenneth Goelzer says 8-Way was developed as an off...
This is one of my favorite Bargello Needlepoint reference books. I have a few that I refer to constantly and this is one of them.
This is the USA edition of another fine Batsford English Needlework book, Florentine Canvaswork. This American edition, published the same year, is the exact same book with a different title. Dorothy Phelan's wonderful book is divided into 2 distinct parts. The first part is a study of the history and "characteristics" of this needle art and a comprehensive guide...
This book is rare & then some. In all the years I have been searching for out-of-print books & especially Bargello Needlepoint books, I had not seen or known of this book before I found the first copy of it. This is the 2nd copy of Erica's book I have found. In truth, it is barely in good condition. The book itself is good. The paperbound covers are worn at the edges but the pages inside are very good.
It is the plastic spiral binder that is the trouble. It is shredded, falls apart...
I have sold these books separately for years now. It never occured to me that they would make an excellent set of books until I saw them being offered that way on the rare book market.
Included in this set:
Guide to Upright Stitches
Guide to Slanted Stitches
Guide to Combination Stitches
Guide to looped and Knotted Stitches.
These are often considered, except for the Looped and Knotted Stitches, as just Bargello Stitches but they have many other uses in needlepoint and needlework.

If you have read many of the used book listings here you know I taught myself Needlepoint and Bargello Needlepoint from books. This is the #1 book that taught me to stitch, and stitch correctly, Bargello Needlepoint.
Margaret Boyles is a Master Teacher, her directions are concise and clear. her graphs are in full color and good size you don't have to peer at them with a magnifying glass. I always have trouble finding this book in good condition or even decent condition. Each time I replace thi...
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...
The subtitle for this book is a long one "62 Original Patterns Inspired by or Adapted From a Range of Historical and Cultural Sources". This is a rare book, a very rare book. A very, very rare book. Well, that says it all. The author goes, briefly, into the history of Bargello and discusses the many names this kind of stitching is know by. That is always a confusion factor in Bargello Needlepoint, the many names. The author has adapted designs that are traditionally done in other a...
I know I have often mentioned Margaret Boyles' many excellent book on Bargello Needlepoint. As far as I know, this is Ms. Boyles only book on regular needlepoint. This is an interesting and very forward thinking book. When it was published, in 1974, few if any other needlepoint books mentioned Decorative Stitching. Needlepoint Stitchery discusses it, in depth, as well as putting 2 versions of the same design on it's cover. One is stitched in plain stitch and one is done in a variety of decorati...
Another great needlepoint book by Sherlee Lantz, the author of A Pageant of Pattern for Needlepoint Canvas. This book is subtitled "From Persian Pavilions to Op Art with One Stitch. The book was published by Viking Press in 1978. This book has become harder and harder to find. I have sold many copies of it here and it is now almost impossible to find one in both good condition and not too expensive. I List this book in both the Bargello and the Needlepoint Reference book categories, it belongs...
This is a unique book, it is about using Bargello for borders. That's it and it is great. The book is full of charts and ideas. One of the best parts is that Bargello Borders deals with how to do those difficult corners and clearly explains and graphs out miters etc. The book is full of graphs and to the point information, It does not have many color pictures but that is not what this book is about. It is not a pretty picture book. It is instructions for Bargello Borders that are more compreh...
There are so many things I love about this book. I love the unique idea, the forms and colors used and the author's name "Gigs". On the back over is her picture, she is a good looking blonde. I imagined "Gigs" would have been more unusual looking but you never know, do you?
This book was published by Charles Scribner's Sons in 1977. I think it may be unique in it's subject. I think it is terrific. Since I first found it and began to sell copiues here it has become increasingly rare and hard...
This is not a basic book on Bargello. It is not for beginners. Bargello Plus has unusual ideas and very interesting original designs featuring Bargello stitchery. The Bargello pattern stitches are combined with other "regular" needlepoint stitches to create the overall designs. The graphs and the instructions are very clear and complete. There is a section of Bargello Patterns and a section on free-form Bargello. There are 2 sections of good full color pictures. The designs and the colors are...
