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...
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...
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...
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! As us usual for me, it has taken me forever to re-list it. 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...
I have recently become aware of these gorgeous book about stitching flowers & gardens by Diana Lampe. I was aware of her name and the type of books she wrote but had no idea how wonderful they were until I saw one. WOW!.
I do love pansies and this amazing book has 93 different pansies to stitch (not kidding) & 4 of the variety Heartsease. The book begins with the basics, 4 pages of full color pansies to choose from. Materials & equipment, working notes on pansies, how to stitch a pansy, finis...
The entire title of this book is A Victorian Floral Alphabet In Cross-Stitch, Canvaswork & Crewel Embroidery. In the UK, where this was published, Canvaswork is another name for Needlepoint. I know you all know this already. This book is not what I thought it was when I ordered it. (remember I buy these books sight unseen,mostly by a very brief blurb and the author's name. Sue Hawkins is a familiar name, to me). It is not an Alphabet book, it is a book or stitched flowers. The first lett...
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:
