I am now able to list and sell the excellent books by Ann Strite-Kurz. For a long time they were difficult to find but now I am getting them, brand new, from Ann. I am very happy about this.
On the first page, Ann calls this book "ACollection Of Original Open Patterns For Canvas And Evenweave Fabrics".
There is only one other author who specializes in Open Patterns for Backgrounds (or indeed any stitching) but this book was the first for this idea having been published in 2003.
Quoting fr...
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...
Another volume in Sandra Arthur's very popular Shapes of Needlepoint series of books. This is volume 4. It covers Diagonals, Horizontals & Verticals. It can be difficult to explain the Shapes series. I want to quote from Sandy's own introduction. "Keep in mind that the Shapes series of books are not intended to be teaching manuals. However, some areas do have guidelines or suggestions provided. Their main purpose is to assist the Needleworker with ideas to fill a particular area on a canvas pr...
This is the third book in Sandy Arthur's very popular The Shapes of Needlepoint series. The subject of this book is Corners, Hexagons, Ovals, Parallelograms. I am very excited about the contents her new book. I know I need a lot of help with my corners (you should see, truly pitiful). Hexagons & Ovals are wonderful shapes and I admit to not being sure what a parallelogram is. I just got the book so I have not had time to look it over much, borrowing liberally from the ANG Needlepointers Magaz...
Following the amazing success of Sandy Arthur's first Shapes of Needlepoint Part 1 (or Series 1, as I should have been calling it) is Part 2 (series 2). This book covers Diamonds, Hearts, Octagons & Stars. This book has just been released and I have copies of it in stock. I am cribbing this review from Elizabeth's Bookshelf in the latest issue of Needlepoint Now (with apologies and compliments to Elizabeth Bozievich, it is an excellent review). One thing I have to mention before I start. The...
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...
In looking through this wonderful little book, I see that most of these stitches can be, easily, used for needlepoint or cross-stitch. Or indeed for embroidery.
There are 95 stitches in the book
Quoting from the back cover: "This comprehensive illustrated directory of stitches gives the needleworker a wide range of options for traditional or modern embroidery. Each stitch is represented by a colour photograph, clear diagrams and working instructions."
The book includes 10 original desi...
Judith Montano is a very well known name in the stitch world. She subtitles her book "Transforming Traditional Stitches Into Fiber Art".
Every stitch, suggestion & idea in this book is applicable and adaptable to needlepoint. I was very interested in this book when I ordered it. I love the idea of doing "more" with needlepoint although I don't exactly know what this "more" might be.
To quote the back cover "Create lifelike trees, flowers, ocean corals and more with 60 stitches and 67 stitch co...
Trish Burr is a well-known needlepoint teacher and author of the Long & Short Stitch book & DVD as well as numerous other needlework books including one of my favorites, Redoute's Finest Flowers. Needle Painting for Embroidery is subtitled " Fresh Ideas For Beginners" This book does begin with easier lessons, I find it goes way beyong beginners, the instructions are given in levels going from level one to level 3 which is more challenging. it is a very good Needlepainting book Essentially...
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.
Now, of course, I have easy too many copies. So, in time for the holidays I am seriously lowering the price of this fine design motifs book that includes a CD.
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...
I have seen many fine Needework Accessories done by some wonderful stitchers. I was glad to find this interesting book. Making Needlework Accessories has the subtitle: Embroidered With Beads. While this does appear to be an embroidery book and a number of these projects are done on felt or fabric, I do not see any designs that would not easily adapt to Needlepoint. Making Needlework Accessories has 14 projects followed by very complete instruction & templates. Under Techniques is a list of St...
The first thing I want to say about this book is to remind you that back then, Needlepoint was called Embroidery or Canvas Embroidery. What we call Embroidery now was called something else then, one of the names was *fine stitching* or Tambour Work. This is a very nice, coffee table size hard cover book. The patterns are lovely, what you might imagine 19th century work to be. Wonderful traditional design, many of them quite detailed & complex. The book is based on the Nowotny Collection, a re...
