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 styl...
This is a large, gorgeous hard cover book by Jill Gordon, the author of 5 other Needlepoint or Cross-Stitch books plus another NP book co-authored by Kaffe Fassett. I have too many copies, I have marked it down.The subtitle is : Glorious Tapestry Designs. In this case, by "tapestry" they men needlepoint canvases, not huge castle wall sized projects. Jill Gordon's needlepoint has a forward by Kaffe Fasett, as well. Mr Fasset praises her color use and sense. Many of Ms Gordon's de...
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...
Jane Nicholas is an authority in Stumpwork, she is the author of 8 books on Stumpwork stitchery including The Complete Book of Stumpwork.
This is a Milner Craft Series book, one of Sally Milner Publishing's excdellent stitchery books from Australia.
In the introduction to this handsome book Jane Nicholas says her inspiration for this book was her fascination with medieval illuminated books such as The Book Of Hours. She was driven to embroider them and used the techniques of stumpwork to enh...
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...
I had not seen this June McKnight book before. it is copyrighted 1993 but perhaps not always available. It is, like the other June McKNight needlepoint books, and useful and very portable book. As I have done with some of the other June McKnight books, I think listing the chapters will give you a good idea of the contents. FOLIAGE 30 PAGES FLOWERS 36 PAGES GARDEN STRUCTURES 9 PAGES ANIMALS 10 PAGES INDEX OF TREES & FLOWERS The book is full of wonderful flower and foliage stitches, all easy to...
This is the second volume of Carole H. Lake and Michael E. Boren's 2 volume series of books, Twisty Stitches. String Art for Needlepoint.
This book has the patterns (or designs) named Mistake Stitch through Walneto.
The first volume was stitches Amadeus through Jessica, so I suppose Volume 2 complete this series.
Carole Lake and Michael Boren are the authors of the very popular book, Painted Canvas Embellishment: An Idea Book and The Desert Island Stitches series (2 books in that series...
The subtitle of the new book from Carole Lake & Michael Boren is :String Art For Needlepoint. Volume 1: Amadeus-Jessica.
They are, of course, the authors of the very popular book Painted Canvas Embellishment: An Idea Book & the Desert Island Stitches series (there is a new book in that series as well).
Quoting from the Introduction:This is not a rulebook, rather, it is a guidebook to these fascinating stitches. The stitching techniques laid out in this book reflect the way we work these stitch...
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...
This Beth Russell book has been a a rare and hard-to-find book up until now. It is now been re-printed, the same book but brand new. This is her classic book, Traditional Needlepoint: The original hard scover book was published by David & Charles in 1992. The is the glossy cover paperbound edition, first printed in 1999.. Beth Russell's books are always lovely, very well done with all color pictures and graphs. There is a extensive introduction with a very beautifully staged picture of Ms...
This is Volume Two in the excellent Desert Island Stitches Series of books. The subject for this one is:Ideas For Creative Borders.
This, of course, appeals to me since I have been advocating more use of borders in our needlepoint designs.
Quoting from the Introduction:"A Border is defined as *a band or pattern around the edge of something, especially for decoration*. "
"A border can be a simple stripe or an elaborate edging. Think of it as ornamentation, embellishment, trim or detailing to e...
I previously had this wonderful book listed here on NewNeedlepoint . Then one day when I was doing some basic maintenance on the web store site, I accidentally deleted it. Poof!

Needlepoint for Chairs, Seats & Stools has 11 marvelous new patterns specially designed for a range of seats from a dining chair to a piano stool. Full charts, shade colors & stitch details for each piece. Detailed upholstery instructions to fit the needlep...
