RARE Bargello Needlepoint Books

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...
This is another of the Margaret Boyles Bargello books I used to teach myself how to do Bargello Needlepoint. The subtitle is: A Collection of Original Designs and it is but it is also a Bargello reference book.
Margaret Boyles' Bargello Workbook takes you through all the stages of beginning Needlepoint Bargello. Each pattern has a full-color close up picture as well as an easy to follow graph. Even the graphs are full color, showing exactly where each stitch and each color goes. In the f...
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...
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...

When I first ordered this, I assumed it was a book of varied needlepoint stitches. I was surprised when it arrived. The subtitle for this books is:
101 Exciting Designs in Bargello, Quickpoint, Grospoint, and other repeat patterns. Interesting combination, not just the usual. This book is" Lisabeth Perrone's own workbook", she shares the designs, colors and technique of an expert stitcher" (from the dust jacket). Every pattern is shown in a full color photograph, a B & W or color photo...
Needlepoint Bargello is another wonderful Bargello and 4-way Bargello Book by Dorothy Kaestner. This book has 25 entirely new 4-Way Bargello Patterns. Each has a chart and a full color picture of the finished piece. The book also includes 32 "regular" Bargello designs as well as something unusual.
All this time I have been selling this book and I have sold many copies of it, I thought the book's name was Bargello Needlepoint. It isn't. The title is Needlepoint Bargello. If it wasn'...
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...
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.

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 few Bargello books out there and the number is shrinking as they discontinue books and it gets harder to find the old ones. Along with all the others, this too is becoming a rare book. This is a Bargello beginner's book and a good one. It starts with a short history of Bargello. Then it begins at the beginning (a proper place to start) with materials, basic stitches etc. There are full color pictures of some of the basic Bargello patterns and then a chapter about finishing. Step...
Florentine Embroidery is subtitled The Complete Guide to Working Florentine Stitches, From Choosing The Right Canvas To Blocking The Finished Embroidery with 50 Patterns to Stitch. (ok, I paraphrased a little)
The instructions are clear and comprehensive. Some of the motifs shown are similar to the ones most all these books have but a few are unique. I used this book to help teach myself Bargello Needlepoint and I found it a good teacher. I know there is quite a bit of confusion out there...
Hope Hanley is, of course, a very well-known name in Needlework and Needlepoint books. I have been searching for a copy of this book for a long time now.
I would order it, only to be told it was no longer available or what would arrive was so badly foxed that I would immediatly quarantine it (not kidding, foxing is a contagious virus that books and paper gets when it is improperly stored).
Finally, a copy, not only good condition but Very Good condition, it does not have a dust jacket...
Elsa Williams is one of the better known needlework designers. Her designs and products include needlepoint, embroidery, crewel work, cross stitch and more. The needlework products bearing her name are too numerous to mention.
This is considered an iconic needlepoint book. This is Elsa William's Bargello book. It is one of the most important of the early books on Bargello needlepoint. It is another fine Van Nostrand Reinhold book, published in 1967. It is hard cover and has 64 pages. Elsa Wi...
Subtitled "This Illustrated Introduction to Bargello Will Help You Create Fabulous Pillows, Rugs, belts and Wall hangings with Canvas and Yarn" Peri Wolfman is (or was) the owner of 2 Needlepoint stores. She has written this comprehensive Beginner's Guide to Bargello Needlepoint. The book includes many Bargello Stitches and the materials you ned. it begins with the basics. The chapters are: What Is Bargello Materials Basic Flame Stitch Correcting Mistakes Patchwork Sampler Bargello Patterns G...
Another popular book. Rare and getting harder to find in acceptable condition. This is a beginner level Bargello Needlepoint book, it is rated an A, which is the easiest designation. The bargello designs are adaptations of Navaho Rugs and early American Quilt patterns. There are 24 designs, with graphs, color photographs, yarn or thread colors used and working instructions. What the book doesn't have is anything telling you how much yarn or thread you need. But I can remedy that. In general...
This book, from the Batsford Series on Canvas Work, or Needlepoint, is surprisingly unusual. right from the start, this is a book for an more experienced stitcher. There are unusual techniques and ideas in this book and quite a bit of Bargello as well. There is ribbon work, mixed media needlepoint, etc. There are some design ideas here that are quite "painterly". It is not a stitch reference, it is an idea and inspiration book and inspired is the word for it. I did not know anything about this...
There are a few very good beginner's Needlepoint books out there but this is the first one that addresses the right hand/left hand issue. That is an important and often overlooked subject. The subtitle for this books is: The Complete Guide For Right and Left Handed Stitchers. IN addition, the name of one of the authors caught my attention. Iona Dittecbach is the author of the now (sadly) out of print Creating Contemporary Bargello. I was unaware that she had co-authored another books with Kim...
A different sort of book from Margaret Boyles. Most of her books are Needlepoint or Bargello Needlepoint reference books or workbooks. This books has Bargello, Needlepoint and Crewel Work.
This book has designs to stitch and they cover a large range of types of needlepoint and stitchery. Of course, all are done with Margaret Boyles' excellent instruction and clear graphs and diagramming. She really is a Master Teacher.
This is a larger hardcover book with 160 pages. It was published by Har...
This is a handsome book with 20 original and very creagtive oriental influenced needlepoint designs.
I had heard of Shelley Faye Lazar but this is the first book of her's I have listed. Her bio on the back dust jacket flap says she studies graphics at Leicester Polytechnic in the UK and had been working with Tapestry and Embroidery for many years. I have not seen her first book, Shelley Faye Lazar's Pictures in Needlework but after seeing this book, I will look for it.
This is not a beginn...
