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:
Pav...
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...
I have had this book on my shelves for a while now, never realizing it was no listed for sale yet. Oh dear. Trish Burr is a very well known needlework author, many of her books are available here for sale such as Miniature Needle Painting Embroidery, Needle Painting Embroidery, Color Confidence, Redoute's Finest Flowers in Embroidery, Long & Short Stitch Embroidery and the latest White Work With Color.The subtitle of Crewel & Surface Embroidery is Inspirational Floral Designs.Trish...
Another excellent book from Sally Milner Publishing in Australia. Trish Burr says that White Work with Color differs slightly from her previous books. Burr is a prolific needlework designer, teacher and author. Her books include Color Confidence in Embroidery, Needle Painting Embroidery, Long and Short Stitch Embroidery, Redoute's Finest Flowers in Embroidery, and Miniature Needle Painting. There are more but these are the ones I have in stock (or try to).All of the designs and project...
This is an amazing book, Yes, it is embroidery, yes it is in French but still, just wonderful. The language is not much of a barrier here, the designs & graphs do not need translation.
Most of the designs are easily used for needlepoint or cross-stitch, or surface embroidery over needlepoint.
There is not much more I can tell you, my high school French is not that good 48 years later but I can show you pictures.
Published, I think, in France in 2007 by Editions L'Inedite-Paris...
A gorgeous book full of designs from some of today's best needlepoint designers, Bird & Beasts collected.
26 original designs by Kaffee Fasset, Susan Duckworth, Candace Bahouth, Judith Gussin, Anita Gunnett, Sue Rangeley, Joy Hanington, Susan Duckworth, Catherine Reurs, Sarah Windrum, Lillian Delevoryas, Angela Chidgey,
There are many more needlepoint designs in this book, I have only listed the names of the designers who have charted designs in the book.
This is a large handsome book. A...
Tracy A. Franklin is described as a "freelance traditional embroiderer". She trained at the Royal School of Needlework and continued to work there as a teacher, now she is a "freelance teacher". She is also the author of Contemporary Whitework, which is an excellent book which I have available in my used/rare book section. Tracy Franklin is also a contributor to The Royal School Of Needlework Embroidery Techniques book, which is also listed here in my RSN Book category. Although this book spec...
At first, the author's name threw me. Jim Williams was the guy who was murdered in both the book and the movie "Midnight in the Garden of Good & Evil".
Obviously, this is a different Jim Williams. I also have this book in the used/rare Needlepoint Design Books Category. I am impressed with this book. The designs are "country" but there are no duckies and few kitsch designs here. There is a chapter called Country Animals. Itt has 2 different but handsome roosters, a fine sitting hen, a baby c...
The first thing to remember is that books published in the UK have many & different names for needlepoint. They include Canvas Embroidery, Canvas Work or just Embroidery. The subtitle for this book is: Over 80 Original Needlepoint Designs of Flowers, Fruit and Animals. This is a handsome book but it is not for beginner's. Each design is graphed out so it is suitable for Needlepoint or counted thread work. The color use is spectacular. The book has many fine pictures of English Gardens and pic...
This very fine book by Tracey A. Franklin and Nicola Franklin was out of print for a while, now it is back and I am glad. This is an unusual book.
Most of us associate Whitework with a more staid form of white on white stiching, this book open that box right up.
Tracy A. Franklin is also the author of New Ideas in Goldwork (which I just so happen to asell here in my Goldwork & Glitz category)
The term *Whitework* covers a range of embroidery techniques including Broiderie Anglaise, Cut-Wor...
am always attracted to books about creating gorgeous flowers in needlepoint. I am sure that is my gardener's soul coming out. The stitched flowers on the cover of this book got my attention (and I am not that easily impressed).To quote (and paraphrase) from the back cover:"Eleven lovely flowers to embroider, including roses, hollyhocks, delphiniums, heartsease, violets, honeysuckle, English Daisies, geraniums, lady's ear drops, forget-me-nots, and sweet Alice.""Clear instructions are provided...
The Milner Craft Series of books from Jane Milner and published in Australia are very fine, good stitching books. This book is Botanical Embroidery and it is a wonderful book, very beautiful flowers, Every flower and technique here is easily adapted for Needlepoint. The book begins with the Essentials you will need. Then the projects: Grevilla *RobynGordon* Banksia Coccinea Hakea Laurina Telopea Speciossima Telopea Truncata Actinjotus Helianthi Gossypium Sturtianum Dendrobium Bibbbum Three Gre...
I have just found these excellent Ribbonwork books by Christen Brown. I was not familiar with this author but I will be watching for more of her books now. This is a terrific book.
The subtitle for this book is:
The Ultimate Visual Guide to 122 Flowers, Leaves and Embellishment Extras.
Quoting from the back cover:
"Learn to make 122 exquisite floral elements with ribbon using 7 basic knots and stitches"
"A complete compendium with ribbon styles, selection and care, cutting charts and t...
Letters and Monograms From the House of Malbranche is an amazing book of designs and embroideries for household goods. Written by the owner of the House of Malbranche and the school which specializes in embellishing luxury household linens.
I sold many copies of this book here on Newneedlepoint.com, as many as I could get. As soon as it went out of print it got very rare and english langguage editions became impossible to find. The last one I had was sent to me from Germany, it was an E...
Pamela A. Parmal is associated with the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. Boston is my home and I know (or knew) this museum well. In fact, I was there they day after Thanksgiving during my visit to Boston. I was in the Colonial American collections room and saw some of these amazing samplers. There is a new trend in museums. They no longer have the paintings from one period in one place, the furniture in another and the needlework in a third area, all from the same era. Now they are all grouped...
Trish Burr is the author of Long and Short Stitch Embroidery, She is the author of this book too. Redoute's Finest Flowers is out-of-print but I was able to find one new copy. I have to tell you now,(sort of a disclaimer) that I love Pierre Redoute flowers. This book almost seems to be a follow-up to her Long & Short Stitch book. All of the flowers here are stitching using these stitches. There are Materials & Beginner chapters, a section oin Techniques. Redoute's Finest Flowers has 1...
203 charted designs including 100 motifs in full color for needlepoint, counted thread work, cross-stitch or embroidery. The charted desighns can also be used for filet work, mosiac crochet, quilts made from tiny quares, and weaving designs.
This is a Dover Needlework Series book, a very good series of instruction and design book from well-known Dover Publication.
Quoting (and possibly paraphrasing) from the back cover:"Few Artists have produced as lasting an impat upon the course of America...
More and more needlepointers also enjoy cross stitch, as I remove needlepoint canvases and kits from sale in my web store, I want to expand the kinds of needlework books I offer.
Cross Stitch and Counted Thread Work are often interchangable, the designs and charts for either can often be used for both. When I saw this book, I thought that while there are many cross stitch design books, there are very few that will let you combibe and design your own.
From the back cover, the Cross Stitch Des...
Another terrific book from the Milner Craft Series of books from Australia. These are always wonderful books from Sally Milner Publishing. The subtitle is : Designs and Projects. To quote (and paraphrase) from the back cover "Goldwork Embroidery by Mary Brown is the most comprehensive book on this ancient form of embroidery. The history of gold work in Britain and Europe is illuminated with images in glorious full color of gold embroidered costumes & textiles held in museum and private collect...
This is a new book from the excellent Milner Craft Series of books. With this title and the subtitle of
Silks, Stitches, Beads and Cords I think it will be in many categories. Quoting from the back cover
"An exciting collection of bright and beautiful collaged and embroidered pieces, Effie Mitrofanis shares with readers what can happen when a sense of playfulness is allowed to combine with creativity".
"The elements that tie this book together are beautifully coloured silkd, patterns of e...
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...
This is not a long book, more then a booklet but at only 64 pages not quite a full book.
Quoting from the back cover "Learn how to make beautiful Needlepoint creations for framing and display on the wall using canvas, wool and silk threads and no more then 5 simple stitches.
Inspiring Designs for Needlepoint includes all you need to know in order to create and make your own one-of-a-kind original designs" (there is a typo, it says one-off original designs).
There are lovely designs in this book...
This is a handsome book, it's subtitle is: 20 Projects Adapted From Objects in the American Folk Art Museum. it would be a fine gift for any stitcher. Quoting from the back cover "Folk Art Needlepoint presents 20 projects based on objects from the collection of the American Folk Art Museum, New York, made available as patterns for the first time. Drawing inspiration from unexpected places, Ruth Peltason shares patterns for an array of Needlepoint projects that capture the essence of American Fo...
I never had a doll's house. After skimming through this wonderful book, I wish I had. There are wonderful designs here. Each design has both a full color chart and a black and white chart. The colors key works for both. The book takes you from the very beginning, the basics of simple needlepoint all the way to the finished item. It also has ideas about things to do and ways to decorate your doll house. I believe this book is associated with Doll's House Magazine. If the magazine is anything...
Stella Knight is a familiar name in Needlepoint books. She is also the author of Exotic Textiles in Needlepoint published in 2003. Exotic Fruits and Flowers, her newest book published in 2005 is a very beautiful book full of appealing projects both big and small. To quote the back of the book "Inspired by the rich diversity of pattern and colour found in flowers and plants from exotic locations around the world, Stella KNight has produced a range of stunning creations." I have to agree. Each d...
