Satin and Silk Ribbon Embroidery by Leslie Turpin-Delport
Satin and Silk Ribbon Embroidery by Leslie Turpin-Delport
A beautiful book, as much for the pictures of the Ribbon Embroidery pieces stitched and how some of them are used. Satin and Silk Ribbon Embroidery is out-of-print and new copies are rare.   This is one of the earlier books on Ribbon Stitching, which has become so popular in the last few years.  The book begins with an overview on working with Silk Ribbon. Then it shows 5 pages of simple stitches for Silk Ribbon stitching with multiple stitches per page.  Next is something I have not seen...

Diana Lampe's Embroidery From the Garden
Diana Lampe's Embroidery From the Garden
I have recently fallen in love with these gorgeous books on stitching flowers and gardens etc by Diana Lampe. I think there may be more in this series, besides this book and the beautiful book on stitching Pansies I have listed in New Books. Since I first listed this book it has gone out of print.  This is a hardbound used copy of it.This book is Embroidery From The Garden. It contains 2 amazing garden designs to stitch, each with many flowers. Each flower in the garden is unique. There is a O...

RARE Diagonal Tent Stitch by Katharine Ireys
RARE Diagonal Tent Stitch by Katharine Ireys
The book is subtitled "Some Do's and Don't Some Hints and Tricks". This is a very (very) rare book however..... This is not as well known or famous as Davie Hyman's book on Basketweave so I sent a copy to my friend and NP (sort of) mentor Jane, of The Chilly Hollow Needlepoint Adventure Blog for her take on it. I have received a very favorable review & synopsis of this book from Jane. I am quoting from Jane's email, with her permission "I have started reading however, and n...

4000 Alphabet & Letter Motifs w/ CD by Graham McCallum
4000 Alphabet & Letter Motifs w/ CD by Graham McCallum
I am often asked about books of lettering and monograms for stitchers. There are a few good ones out there but none as comprehensive as this one.  This is another of Graham Leslie McCallum's excellent sourcebooks containing 4000 Alphabets & Letters and including a CD with everything on it.  The book includes whole alphabets and elaborate initials (monograms) from Roman inscription to modern alphabets for graphic designers.  The book also has a visual explanation of the development of l...

Needlepoint Designs from Asia by Gay Ann Rogers
Needlepoint Designs from Asia by Gay Ann Rogers
Subtitled: 30 Exotic Designs from Persia, India, Korea, China and Japan. Gay Ann Rogers is the author of several very interesting and hard-to-find Needlepoint books. While this topic, Designs From Asia, is not unique, her designs are unusual. A few of the designs in this book look familiar, most of them are "off the beaten path", needlepoint design wise. The graphs are in Black and White and include color placement symbols. There are many color pictures. The chapters are very complete, all the...

Egyptian Designs In Modern Stitchery by Pauline Fischer
Egyptian Designs In Modern Stitchery by Pauline Fischer
This book lists Pauline Fischer as the author and then credits Mary Lou Smith with the text.  I am not sure what that means but I expect as I go along, I will find out. Pauline Fischer is also the co-author of Bargello Magic with Anabel Lasker.  Quoting (and paraphrasing/editing) from the dust jacket flap: "The treasure of Tutankamun have inspired decorators and designers alike to create fabrics, furniture and jewelry for the 1970s, but this is the first book for the amateur needleworker to...

African Needlepoint Designs by Diana Oliver Turner
African Needlepoint Designs by Diana Oliver Turner
Of the many needlepoint design book based on other cultures, Africian design is one you don't often see.  The subtitle for this books is: Charted Fort Easy User and indeed the charts are good size, often large in full color.  There are no tiny block charts to peer at. This is a Dover Needlework Series book (or perhaps it should be called a booklet at just 41pages) published in 1976.  The designs are very modern, not 1970s looking or colors. Each design is charted in both black and white and...

79 Decorative Alphabets for Designers and Craftspeople edited by Carol Belanger Grafton
79 Decorative Alphabets For Designers and Craftspeople is a very good collection of letter styles, they range all the way across the spectrum, from plain to very fancy, from small to large. There is even a set of Numbers on page 95. why just one set of numbers is beyond me, makes no sense does it?  Carol Belanger Grafton is a very well-knoiwn name as editor of books of this type. She consulted with Rita Weiss, another experienced & well-known needlework writer and editor on the final selection...

Bizarre and Ornamental Alphabets edited by Carol Grafton
Bizarre and Ornamental Alphabets edited by Carol Grafton
Carol Belanger Grafton is a familiar name, she has edited several other books of this kind. I stopped counting at 13 titles, there were more. I carry some of her's fine compilations here in both my New Monogram and Alphabets category as well as several of her used books.There are no number designs in this book.When I saw this title I could not resist and I am glad I did not. This is truly a unique collection of Monograms and Alphabets. There are all different sizes and styles here but I want...

4000 Animal, Bird and Fish Motifs by Graham McCallum
4000 Animal, Bird and Fish Motifs by Graham McCallum
The Graham McCallum books are a wonderful resource for anyone designing, imagining or even looking for a variety of ideas in one place.   This is a big heavy book,  with indeed 4000 drawings in it.   he calls it a Sourcebook and I agree.The contents are divided in an interesting way.  Instead of by animal, fish or bird types,  it is organized by age or style or I am not sure by what but it is interesting:Stone Age Europe...
