RARE Bargello Needlepoint Books

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...
I have lost count of how many copies of this book I have sold, the first one sold fast and they continue to sell. I am having a hard time getting copies in very good condition. The book is subtitled: Themes and Variations. it has a full chapter on technique and a large assortment of beautiful patterns, all shown in color, with clear graphs on the facing page. Needlepoint and Patterns has many Bargello Needlepoint patterns as well as Needlepoint.
This is a large, hardcover book published by...
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 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 book 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 art...
This wonderful book is both hard-to-find and rare. Each time I look for it, the price has gone up (and up) Dorothy Kaestner's Bargello Antics features 4 Way Bargello, and Mrs. Kaestner knows her stuff. Her designs are wonderful, her color use terrific. Every design is shown in full color in the color picture section of the book, taken by George F. Kaestner, who I assume is her husband. Bargello Antics is mostly about 4-way Bargello. 4 Way Bargello can be difficult to do (I have not...
The subtitle for this book is "How To Design Your Own". The dust jacket says " 2 leading designers analyze patterns and show how to obtain beautiful originals through careful selection of colors and materials".
There are examples of both good design and bad design along with solutions to design problems. Every Bargello Needlepoint pattern is shown in color as well as black & white. What this book lacks is many useable graphs. As a Bargello design primer this book is be useful. My Needlepoint...
This is, without doubt, a beautiful showcase book of Bargello Needlepoint. The fact that it has very well done full color graphs, thread and yarn quantities lists and directions is like frosting on this cake.
Ms Petschek has designed a lovely book full of incredible Bargello patterns in wonderful colors. That pretty much covers all the words of this type I know so.... If nothing else, the pictures are gorgeous.
This is not a book that will teach you Bargello Needlepoint but if you already k...
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...
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...
Bargello: An Explosion in Color has exploded in price, again. This has happened several times to this book and to a few others, as well. To replace this book just cost me more than I was charging for it. I apologize for the price increase, this is common in the world of rare books.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 Ne...
Dorothy Kaestner's wonderful book, 4 Way Bargello. I have a copy of this book myself and have sold so many here I now buy them in multiples, not 1 at a time. Although they are getting harder to find, or to find in a reasonable condition. I recently ordered 2 and both arrived full of foxing. Not good. Needless to say, I got a refund. I tried again. This book has become expensive and harder to find in Very Good condition. 4-Way Bargello is a very advanced form of Bargello Needlepoin...
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 another fine Batsford English Needlework book, published in the UK. The American version, published the same year in New York, is the same book but it is titled Traditional Bargello. Although this book was published in the UK, the measurements are given, though out the book, in both metric & inches. Florentine Canvaswork is a wonderful book. There has be...
