Marnie Ritter's Canvas Patterns Book 1 and Book 2
Both these excellent needlepoint pattern books are rare, both of them.   Being able to list book 1 and book 2 together is unusual (but very good).It took me a long time to get both these books, from different sources but I did it (I am a stubborn old broad, said with admiration for myself, lol).There are many, many stitch books.  There are some pattern books but not as many.  ThisCanvas Pattern book is done with Marnie's skill and clarity.Marnie begins book 1 with a one page tutorial on...

Gold and Silver Needlepoint by Maggie Lane
In researching, reading and looking at the titles pages and credits of all the Needlepoint Books I have been listing these last few weeks, several names have come to my attention over and over. One of them is Maggie Lane. She has been thanked, cited as a source, credited with creating stitch charts and cited as a source. There are just a few books out there actually by Maggie Lane however, they are outstanding needlepoint books. This continues to be a popular book. Despite the existence of se...

Metallic Thread Embroidery by Jacqueline Friedman Kreinik
Metallic Thread Embroidery by Jacqueline Friedman Kreinik
Whenever Metallic Thread needlepoint or embroidery comes up, the first name we all think of is Kreinik. Their threads are *the standard*, as far as I am concerned, anyway. Who better to write a book about this than Jacqueline Friedman Kreinik? The subtitle is: A Practical Guide To Stitching Creatively With Metallic Threads. The title page also mentions Ann Caswell as Design Co-ordinator. Although the book is titled for embroidery, almost everything here is applicable to needlepoint. Quoting...

A Gardener's Book of Needlepoint by Bodi, Merrill and di Montezemolo
A Gardener's Book of Needlepoint by Bodi, Merrill and di Montezemolo
With three authors, the book's info did not fit in my "title space". It is: A Gardener's Book of Needlepoint by Jack Bodi, Meg Merrill and Catherine di Montezemolo. Meg Merrill's name is the most familiar, she is the co-author of Nature in Needlepoint with Eva Brent. This is a wonderful book, full of garden or flower based designs. In the last few years Kaffe Fassett has done a series of Needlepoint Kits for Erhman Tapestry based on Garden Vegetables, in close-up. There are a few designs si...

Glorafilia: The Impressionists in Needlepoint by Carole Lazarus and Jennifer Berman
Glorafilia: The Impressionists in Needlepoint by Carole Lazarus and Jennifer Berman
I was unsure what Glorafilia was but after reading these books I think it boils down to some unusual and decorative stitches (which were hardly used back in the 1990's when these books were published), Long and Short Stitch and traditional Continental or Basketweave stitch. The end effect is gorgeous and very well suited to Impressionists Art. This handsome book has original needlepoint designs using the art of Monet, Cezanne, Degas, Van Gogh, Morisot, Renior, Pisarro and Cassat. (no Picas...

The Beginner's Guide to Blackwork by Lesley Wilkins
I have always been interested in Blackwork and drawn to it when I see it. So.....I saw this book on the wholesaler's list and thought, why not? Although the Title of this book is "The Beginner's Guide to Blackwork" this is not a beginners book. I recommend it to mid-level or advanced stitchers I am quoting from the introduction "Blackwork is a counted thread method of needlework (ok, it said embroidery but I used the word needlework) using straight stitches in a contrasting color worke...

OK, I love cats and I love Needlepoint Cats books.  I list 2 wonderful vintage cat needlepoint books, Martin Leman's Needlepoint Cats and William Brister's The Needlepoint Cat.....well, here's another. This is a 1998 book by British Author Julie Hasler.  Included are 35 feline designs with a wide range of cat breeds from Tabby to Exotics.  Julie Hasler has a wonderful *eye* for cat moods and attitudes.  These are great Cats.   There are needlepoint cat framed miniatures, quite...

This is a lovely small book with small Glorafilia designs in it. The projects, ranges from a picture of Teddy Bears , a Teapot pin cushion, a jewelry roll, 2 Staffordshire Dogs, various small cushions etc. As always, all the pictures, charts & color keys are in full color.

Glorafilia: The Ultimate Needlepoint Collection by Carole Lazarus and Jennifer Berman
Glorafilia: The Ultimate Needlepoint Collection by Carole Lazarus and Jennifer Berman
In the late 1980's Carole Lazarus and Jennifer Berman had an idea for variations to Needlepoint Stitchery. At that time most of us were doing "plain stitching" (I still am, I love it) and the only serious mention of Decorative Stitching was in Margaret Boyles 1974 book, Needlepoint Stitchery (yes, I have it for sale in my Rare Needlepoint Reference Books category). Glorafilia Stitching is a compination of Decorative Stitching, some Crewel Embroidery type work, Long and Short Stitch along wi...

Glorafilia: The Venice Collection by Carole Lazarus and Jennifer Berman
Glorafilia: The Venice Collection by Carole Lazarus and Jennifer Berman
This is an earlier Glorafilia book, published in 1991. The Venice Collection designs are more classic than some of the other books, more with "that feeling", if you know what I mean. All of the Glorafiliia books are very beautiful. This book is full of gorgeous pictures of both the needlepoint designs and of Venice. There is section on Venetian Textiles, again with many beautiful pictures. Clearly these needlepoint designs are inspired by some of these textiles. Glorafilia Stitching is a combi...

Glorafilia Needlepoint Collection by Jennifer Berman and Carole Lazarus
This is the first in the series of Glorafilia Needlepoint books, it was published in 1997. I was not sure, at first, what made Glorafilia Needlepoint different but after skimming these books I think it was the use of "special" stitches back when almost no one was using them plus mixing Long and Short Stitch with the traditional needlepoint Continental or Basketweave Stitches. At any rate, the effects are gorgeous. Each of the projects in the book has detailed instructions, color charts and a...

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...

The designs use stitch and texture to create their effect and they sure do. This book has been a consistant & steady seller for years now, here on NewNeedlepoint.com. There are 20 designs in this book, not only are all the pictures in color but so are the graphs, which is wonderful. Mrs Edmonds, who I h...

A Needlepoint Gallery of Patterns from the Past by Phyllis Kluger
A Needlepoint Gallery of Patterns from the Past by Phyllis Kluger
This is a large, coffee table size book. This is a quote from the cover of the book, something of a sub-title "102 designs derived from art of the past from Ancient Egypt and Classical Greece to the Renaissance, the American Folk Tradition and Art Nouveau" As you can see, the picture used for the dust jacket is very much American Folk Art. I thought that this book was about American Historical Art used for Needlepoint. I was very surprised when I actually received the book. The dust jacket is i...

Bullion Stitch Embroidery by Jenny Bradford
Bullion Stitch Embroidery by Jenny Bradford
Another of the excellent Milner Craft Series books from Australia. Given all the current interest in textured stitches, silk ribbon stitching and raised stitches (stump work), I thought this would be a good book to add to my collection of out-of-print books. Indeed, this has proven to be a poular book.  Leading, once again, to it's increasing rarity.  To keep stock in this book I am having to buy it, used, from the UK. There are no currently in-print books on these stitches, as far as I know...

Needlework Styles For Period Furniture by Hope Hanley
Needlework Styles For Period Furniture by Hope Hanley
Hope Hanley is, of course, a very well-known name in Needlework and Needlepoint books.  I have been searching for a copy of this book for a long time now. I would order it, only to be told it was no longer available or what would arrive was so badly foxed that I would immediatly quarantine it  (not kidding, foxing is a contagious virus that books and paper gets when it is improperly stored). Finally, a copy, not only good condition but Very Good condition, it does not have a dust jacket...

Designing with Motifs and Borders by Jan Messant
Jan Messant is a well-known needlework author. NewNeedlepoint lists several of her other books including her excellent book Embroidered Portraits showing how to stitch, for embroidery or needlepoint, very expressive and detailed faces. Designing With Motifs and Borders is, as the title suggests, full of design ideas for things to add to any needlework design. Quoting from the back cover"Motifs and Borders is a further development of the previous books on pattern making by the same author. It e...

Creative Needlepoint Borders by Maggie Wall
Creative Needlepoint Borders by Maggie Wall
I think borders are important to a *completed* needlepoint project. I know they do not seem to be in favor with designers right now but I maintain that a good border adds to a great design. The other issue here is corners. As someone who admits to being *corner challenged* I am always interested in books like this. I don't know of any contemporary book still in print that addresses this but fortunately there is this classic book (and one other by Sandra Urban, Chartered Borders, Bands and Corne...

Gobelin Stitch Embroidery by Pauline Chatterton
Gobelin Stitch Embroidery by Pauline Chatterton
Gobelin Stitch is one of the most useful Needlepoint (or Embroidery) stitches there is. The name is derived from the Famous French Tapestries that were made at the Gobelins factory near Paris. Quoted and paraphrased from the dust jacket flap (always a source of info) "Like Bargello, Gobelin Stitch covers several threads (of canvas) with each stitch. It goes very quickly, is economical with wool and needs no printed pattern on the canvas. This interesting book is suitable for beginners, it wou...

Walt Disney Characters Needlepoint Book by LIsabeth Perrone
Walt Disney Characters Needlepoint Book by LIsabeth Perrone
At first I thought this was a book of needlepoint designs featuring Walt Disney wonderful characters, it is and it isn't. The book does feature full size, in varying sizes, patterns to stitch Disney cartoon characters but they idea is you place them in whatever designs or settings you want. The designs the book does offer are basic, at best. These are no Needlepoint Graphs , they are line drawings of the characters you can copy to canvas and stitch. The only directions are simple colors and am...

Needlepoint for Everyone by Mary Brooks Picken and Doris White
Needlepoint for Everyone by Mary Brooks Picken and Doris White
The word Comprehensive is used often to descibe books that are not really comprehensive but this book is and then some. I would recommend this book to beginners who are serious about learning needlepoint. As well as practical needlepoint instruction and encyclopedic information the authors highlight examples of Needlepoint from places as diverse as Gracie Mansion, home of New York's Mayor, Sturbridge Village in Massachusetts, Boscobel on the Hudson, Mount Vernon, Williamsburg, Virginia and Blai...

Canvas Work From The Start by Anne Dyer and Valerie Duthoit
Canvas Work From The Start by Anne Dyer and Valerie Duthoit
The dust jacket text for this book is interesting. I want to quote some of it for you "Canvas work is the simplest form of embroidery and does not involve the complex stitching found in free embroidery. But it can be used to very great effect and imaginative design canmake the results most attractive." Clearly, this book was written before the overwhelming interest in decorative and complex needlepoint stitches became the fashion. This book was published in 1972 in the UK where Needlepoint is...
