These are gorgeous letters to use as a lavish alphabet or as monograms. The Victorians did everything a little (or a lot) over the top and these fit that description. By the noted Victorian-era designer Karl Klimsch who excelled in the use of clean lines, shading and 3 dimensional effects. His 2 letter monograms were original published in Germany in 1869.These handsome monograms are easily re-produced, the size is easily changed with a copier or scanner. They are all copy-right free. This is...
For me, anyway, Shading has been one of the hardest things to learn. While you can learn most stitches by following a diagram, shading takes thought, planning and judgement (sort of like the rest of life, isn't it?). Most of the books I have found that teach Shading are embroidery books and they are concerned with Silk Shading. I find that every technique and approach they teach applies to Needlepoint as well. The author, Sarah Homfray, is a Graduate apprentice. To quote from the back cover...
Pat Trott is also the author of another stitchery book, Montmellick Embroidery, (which I just so happen to have listed here in my Other New Needlework Books category). Her books are handsomely done and the techniques are clearly presented. Most of these designs are shown stitched on Aida or slightly open linen embroidery fabric. All of them are easily adaptable to needlepoint. (actually, not real adaptation needed). Quoting (and paraphrasing) from the back cover "A step-by-step guide to creati...
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...
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...
I know, I have many of these Silk Ribbon stitching books here in my web store, but in my own defense, these books have gorgeous projects, beautiful stitching. If I could add another line of threads to NewNeedlepoint.com, it would be Silk Ribbons. I would love to kit with them, use them with other threads. Oh well...... Back to my subject. The flowers, made with Silk Ribbon, in this book are spectacular. There is quite a bit of technique here. The flowers have texture and depth. Many stand out...
I am very impressed with this book, This comprehensive reference book has 53 Complete Fonts.
That means that each & every letter for 53 different alphabets are here. The sizes vary as do the style and look of the letters within the Celtic & Medieval. These fonts can be used for Embroidery, Cross-Stitch, Needlepoint or just about any lettering purpose. The author has selected and arranged these fonts, by type, from the SoloType Typographers Catalog. Quoted from the back cover : "Facing the...

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!.
