This excellent new book is in stock for immediate delivery. I have had a chance to look through the book, I think this is a very useful book. It begins with instructions on how to use the book, then a glossary of terms (I too am sometimes confused by terms used. How many of us know the difference between Filament silk & Chinese silk thread? Not me) Then there is a large section describing, in detail, each kind of thread (would you know what "Pepper Pot Silk* or "Treenway Serenity" was?, not...
Sandy's Finishing Touches is subtitled "A Step-By-Step Guide To Finishing Needlework. There is a lot of interest in Needlepoint Finishing right now. It seems to me there are less places to have good needlework finished then there used to be, as our LNS close, one by one. I used to have beautiful finishing done by a store near where I live, but the owners retired (go figure). The new store I took my finishing too did a miserable job, in fact ruining a large round petitpoint pillow I spe...
The cover of this newest edition of Needlepoint Secrets does not have the fancy, sparkly embellishment that the previous edition did but otherwise the book is exactly the same.
I used the new picture from June's Web Site, with my apologies to June for my laziness. At first I thought maybe Secrets was a revision of June's excellent book Needlepoint Wisdom, which is no longer available, but June assures me it is not. She told me this is a whole new book with all the things she has learned over...
June McKnight is, in my opinion and many stitchers agree with me, one of the best respected names in needlepoint books. Her books sell, year after year. There are fresh new titles released often, as well. All of my copies of this book autographed by June McKnight. This book is a hit. This book is different in other ways as well. The cover is heavier glossy paperboard, gone is the regular paper cover with the clear plastic overlay (which attracted dust like nothing I have ever seen). Obvious...
The companion book to June McKnight's Decorative Backgrounds for Needlepoint copyrighted in 1992. This More Backgrounds book is copyrighted 2001. Some of the background stitches shown in this book take up 2 pages, 1 page for instruction and the 2nd for the graph. Others take just one page so it is difficult to get a stitch count for this book. From the index I estimate there are 64 stitches in this book. All are graphed and described with Ms McKnight's usual skill and clarity. This is a smal...
This handy little book is another in June McKnigh's series of Needlepoint and Bargello Needlepoint books. The books are small with big spiral bindings. They are the perfect size to carry in your needlepoint tote bag and I love spiral bounds books, they lay flat when open. The subtitle for this book is "The Ten Commandments of Background Stitching" "Rules to help in the selection of the perfect background". I think that pretty much says it all. This is, as I have noted, a small paperbound book...
I snagged a copy of this for myself. Long & Short Embroidery is absolutely beautiful (as is L & S Needlepoint). It is used in Glorafilia designs and is is widely mentioned but there are scant or non complete directions for how to do it right. The subtitle to Long & Short Embroidery is" A Collection of Flowers". Each project or example (there are too many to do them all) has a close up stitched picture of the flower or flowers. Then a template drawing. The thread Key is done using DMC & Anchor S...
I am selling all 3 volumes of Suzanne Howren & Beth Robertson's classic and very popular Stitches For Effect series books. Stitches For Effect More Stitches For Effect Even More Stitches For Effect These 3 volumes are together a complete and comprehensive Needlepoint Stitch Book. The authors. Suzanne Howren & Beth Robertson, together and individually are well-known for their many books on many facets of needlework. These 3 books are indeed a classic Needlepoint Reference. Each volume can sta...
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...
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...
I was not sure when I ordered this book what it would be. The british refer to Needlepoint as Canvaswork or Canvas Embroidery. Still, it is a Royal School of Needlework book so I knew it had to be something good. As soon as I saw the cover I knew I had a great Needlepoint book. The cover picture is a nicely stitched NP windmill with an amazing Bargello stitch sky, shading from blue to light blue, through several shades. To quote from the back cover "The Royal School of Needlework teaches hand...
A brand new completely updated and revised replacement for the RSN Book of Embroidery Techniques. This is a major addition of Needlework Knowledge, an extraordinary book.I know this is not strictly a needlepoint book but there are so many interesting techniques from this book that can be easily used and adapted to needlepoint. The RSN Book of Embroidery now includes Crewelwork, Blackwork, Whitework, Silk Shading, Stumpwork, Bead Embroidery, Canvaswork, and Goldwork. It does not replace th...
