Another excellent book in the Royal School of Needlework: Essential Stitch Guides Series from Search Press. Written by Lizzy Lansberry, the Whitework instructions here are easily adaptable to Needlepoint. I have seen Whitework Needlepoint in various books and magazines over the years and it is wonderful for using interesting techniques amp; stitches as well as embellishments. This is a quote from the back cover With clear instructions and beautiful examples of historical and contemporary piece...
This is an early June McKnight book, copyrighted in 1991 but it is not as if Needlepoint Stitches go out of fashion, like last seasons clothes. The chapters and subchapters in this book pretty much tell it all: APPAREL STITCHES Clever ideas for Baby Jesus Swaddling, Santa's suit, Mrs. Santa's Dress, The Toy Soldier's Uniform, The Elf's Costume, Teddy Bear Sweater and Dolly's Pinafore BUTTONS amp; ORNAMENTS Intriguing Stitches That Make Round Designs Less Challenging BEARDS amp; MUSTACHES Woo...
Another fine June McKnight needlepoint book, this one full of ideas, stitches and patterns for needlepoint borders. The chapters include: Regular Count Borders 55 pages No Count Borders 23 pages Corners and Medallions 10 pages Whimsies 8 pages I think the instruction on corners will be quite useful, I know I have troubles with that, myself, sometimes. Needlepoint Borders is a small (5.5 X 5 inches) paper bound book with a metal spiral binding. There is a clear plastic overpage on the cover t...
Sandy's Finishing Touches is subtitled A Step-By-Step Guide To Finishing Needlework. I thought this might be a great book to have for sale here, since I know I know almost nothing about finishing off the needlepoint I stitch, beyond blocking it. 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...
The Royal School of Needlework books are some of the best needlepoint amp; 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 Canv...
I snagged a copy of this for myself. Long amp; Short Embroidery is absolutely beautiful (as is L amp; 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 amp; 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 amp...
Before you react to this book's title, while it is an embroidery book, there is very little here that can't be used for needlepoint. I have not ever seen a book about stitching faces or portraits before. I know I have seen a number of canvases with faces included in the design lately so I thought this book was worth a look. The subtitle is: Ideas, Inspiration and Techniques Jan Messant is a well-known name in embroidery. She is a teacher of Embroidery As An Art Form and a member of the Embroid...
This wonderful book has become one of the biggest sellers I have. Unfortunately, Pat Mazu has had to raise the price of her book. She says the increasing cost of the printing charges have made this necessary. I first heard about this book at the same place I learn so much about Needlepoint amp; new needlework things (be they books or tools or designs or stitches). Of course I mean Jane's Chilly Hollow Needlepoint Adventure Blog. Jane mentioned a new needlework finishing book. Since there are...
I really like the subtitle to this book Techniques, Projects and Pure Inspiration. To me, that pretty much sums up needlework. Techniques, Projects and Pure Inspiration but I am getting off track...again. The back cover calls the author an exceptionally skilled gold work embroiderer but there is nothing in this book that does not apply directly to Needlepoint, as well. The back cover goes on to say Drawing on traditional method, she creates works that are brilliantly executed, in a style tha...
Joen Wolfrom is a well-known Colorist, the author of many book on color and color theory, including The Magical Effects of Color in my Rare Color amp; Color Theory Books category.
This is a very fine set of tools to use for finding the exact colors and shades you want or need for your needlepoint and other stitchery projects.This Ultimate 3-in-1 Color Tool packet measures 8 X 3.25 inches. It is printed on very high quality heavy glossy paper. The colors are bright and look true (to me).There ar...
The title of this book interested me. I recognized the name of the co-author, Beth Robertson. She is the co-author, with Suzanne Howren, of many very good needlepoint books including the 3 books in the Stitches For Effect series and Stitches To Go.
The book begins with a basic * Getting Started* page and then goes right into Knots.
There are 21 Knot Stitches or variations of Knot Stitches. Each suggested stitch comes with very clear Instructions and a line drawing showing you the exact process o...
Ornamental Letters is a little different from most of the letter amp; mongram books currently in print. These are Illuminated Letters. Each letter is shown in a design featuring animals, plants, flowers, people, graphics amp; more. There are also some very stylized letter forms.
Quoting from the back cover: Since the late 4th century, the art of illuminating letters has gone through many fashions. Beautiful designs, ranging from abstract to naturalistic. have appeared on the pages of fan...
