Faces and Figures in Embroidery by Valerie Harding
Faces and Figures in Embroidery by Valerie Harding
I have noticed a trend in needlepoint, many of the current designs feature people, faces and bodies.  While there have always been some designs like this, they do seem to becoming more popular. I have looked and looked.  As far as I can tell there are only 2 needlework books that deal with people.  One is a current book by Jan Messant, Embroidered Portraits. The other is this book, Faces and Figures in Embroidery by Valerie Harding.  Both books specify Embroidery in their titles and instru...

Finishing and Mounting Your Needlepoint Pieces by Katharine Ireys
Finishing and Mounting Your Needlepoint Pieces by Katharine Ireys
Despite the existence of several newly published books on finishing, this classic book, Finishing and Mounting Your Needlepoint Pieces, remains a popular and requested book. Although this book's focus is finishing and mounting finshed needlepoint projects, it also has 40 original needlepoint designs. Covered are blocking, lining, mitering corners etc. There is complete information on how to make trims of braid, cord. fringes and tassels. The book has many pictures illustrating these technique...

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...

Tapisserie: The Art of Needlepoint by Hayat Palumbo
Tapisserie: The Art of Needlepoint by Hayat Palumbo
Tapisserie is another gorgeous book by Hayat Palumbo. I had never heard of it or even heard it mentioned of referred to when her other book, A Passion for Needlepoint, is spoken of. This is not a book of patterns you can follow, with charts and directions. What it is is gorgeous needlepoint and tapestry work. Ideas and inspiration. The book is divided into chapters: Slippers Cushions Chairs Stools Rugs Emblems and Novelties Counted Stitch Designs Each page is bursting (yes, that is the right...

Treasury of Illuminated Borders in Full Color ed. by Carol Belanger Grafton
Treasury of Illuminated Borders in Full Color ed. by Carol Belanger Grafton
This book covers 3 of my major and current rare book obsessions.  Illuminated design used for needlepoint, Borders and books by Carol Belanger Grafton.   A trifecta. Carol Belanger Grafton is the author/editor of a number of very good books on the practical use of art and design, most of her books are aimed at designers and craftspeople.  I got to page 10, at 16 books to a page, of a list of her books when I stopped counting. She is also very nice about attribution.  For instance a book of...

The Batsford Encyclopedia of Embroidery Techniques by Gay Swift
The Batsford Encyclopedia of Embroidery Techniques by Gay Swift
I am a huge fan and admirer of the Batsford series of needlework books.  This is a book I have never seen before.  I knew it existed but I never thought to have one for sale here. To quote from the back cover: "This major reference work brings together all the main styles, techniques and terms of hand and machine embroidery.  The entries, arranged alphabetically, include important and well-known techniques.  Practical instructions are accompanied by clear line drawings of characteristic pr...

Heritage Embroidery by Elsa S. Williams
Heritage Embroidery by Elsa S. Williams
The Embroidered pictures used on the covers of this book are beautiful, wonderful examples of Heritage Embroidery. This is not a well-known book, it is hard-to-find and getting harder to find in any kind of decent condition. Elsa Williams was a Needlepoint industry innovator, Master Teacher and a very skilled stitcher. She is mostly known for Needlepoint and her book on Bargello Needlepoint "Bargello: Florentine Canvas Work" is one of the best and most widely known needlework books ever. Quoti...

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...

Stumpwork: The Art of Raised Embroidery by Muriel Baker
Stumpwork: The Art of Raised Embroidery by Muriel Baker
As the book's title says Stumpwork is basically just raised or highly textured needlepoint or embroidery.  I think it is the awkward name, Stumpwork, that puts people off.  I know it makes me wonder. The fashion in needlepoint (and embroidery) now is embellished stitches, textures and indeed raised or padded stitches.    Quoting (and paraphrasing) from the dust jacket flaps: "Stumpwork is three-dimensional embroidery where figures are padded with stuffing: pearls and ribbons can be free-f...

Charted Borders, Bands and Corners by Sandra Urban
Charted Borders, Bands and Corners by Sandra Urban
I originally bought this book for myself. I love to do borders and corners on the needlepoint and especially the Bargello Needlepoint I stitch. The problem is, I am bad at corners. I rarely get them right on the first try (or 2nd or....) This book was a big help to me. The subtitle is: 104 Designs For Cross Stitch, Needlepoint, Latch Hooking etc. In fact, in researching it I find that there are no contemporary, in print books addressing this. The only books on borders and corners are out of p...

Victorian Decorative Borders and Designs by Christopher Dresser
Victorian Decorative Borders and Designs by Christopher Dresser
I am interested in borders added to needlework, they used to be much more common, almost expected for a finished needlewoprk to have some kind of border or enclosure.  This seems to have gone out of style but I still love the idea. I think it *finishes* or completes many types of needlework.  It is not right for all designs but many could benefit from borders. Victorian Decorative Borders and Designs is by Christopher Dresser and Others.  There was not room on the title line to say all that...
