This is a very fine tool to use for finding the exact colors and shades you want or need for your needlepoint projects. It is by Joen Wolfrom, a noted Colorist and author. Her book The Magical Effects of Color is available in here in my Rare Color and Color Theory Books category.
This 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 are 816 Colors with CMYK, RGB and HEX formulas ( I have no idea w...
The subtitle of this book is: Develop and perfect your stitching skills with over 20 step-by-step projects featuring traditional and innovative designs on canvas. The cover of this book is interesting for an interesting reason. This book was first published in 1991, most instruction books then used and show wool yarns mostly or exclusively. This book's cover has skeins of both wool and cotton floss. That is a good sign, in my opinion. Quoting from the back cover "Teaches a multitude of desig...
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...
First published in 1987, this edition of Kreuzstich Alphabete is dated 1995. The book is written in German however, there is almost no text in this book, aside from the introduction. This is a new book. It did not come with a dust jacket.
German language or not, this is a interesting and creative lettering book. There is really not much need for any english text here. The graphs are very well done, easy to use and understand.
What there is, is alphabets, many and very varied alphab...
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...
Blackwork is (or can be) any 2 color stitching design (except for Whitework which is slightly different). There are books on Redwork and I suppose there could be Purplework or Greenwork and on.
Quoting and paraphrasing a lbit from the back cover:
"Blackwork Embroidery was very popular in Tudor times, and it is now enjoying a tremendous revival. A form of counted-thread work, Blackwork emphasizes shading contrast that are possible woeking with a single color thread."
"After covering the...
I am finding these needlepoint and embroidery design books in French to be excellent. The designs are original and well done and I don't find the lack of the English language to be much of a barrier.
While many of them have measurements in both inches and metric, this one's measureing is in metric. That is easy enough to translate with any search engine, if you are not familar with them.
The charts for these designs are clear and in full color with color keys for each.
The designs are:
Pav...
This is the new, revised & re-issued edition of The A-Z of Needlepoint now offered by Search Press Classics. I can't tell you how much of this revised edition is similar to the previous Country Bumpkin Press edition. In paging through it looks much the same. There are pluses & minuses to this . The price is considerably less but there is no handy, lay-flat spiral binding. Sue Gardner's County Bumpkin A-Z books are the cornerstone of every stitchers library. This book is right up there in impor...
This book is published in France and in the French language but that does not really effect the designs and information. There is almost no text, in any langauge other then the preface and the 2 page Conseils Techniques which means Examples Of Use.
There are many nature and plant based needlepoint design books, flowers, flora, trees & shrubs, landscape etc. but I know of no other book dedicated to vegetables.
This is an extraordinary book, each desgn has 6 pages. The first page is a stitched e...

Desert Island Stitches: Volume 1 of their Take-Along Books For Painted Canvas Embellishment Series. This book is Ideas For Small Spaces. This book is the first of thier Take Along Book Series, it is the perfect size for slipping into your needlepoint tote bag (or if you, like me, keep each project in it's own tote bag to kee...
