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...
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...
B. Borssuck is a well-known needlepoint author who in the late 1970s and the early 1980s wrote some terrific Needlepoint Monogram books. One of them, 97 Needlepoint Alphabets, has become a rare & important book. Picture Your Dog in Needlework is something of a departure for B. Borssuck, here she is working with Ann Jackson. Quoting (and probably paraphrasing some) from the back cover: "A collection if 40 remarkably realistic portraits containing single studies, captivating head views, deligh...
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...
30 Original Designs Adapted from Eskimo, Polynesian and Indian Art. All Completely Graphed and Shown in Color. Those are the subtitle lines from this interesting book. The Gay Ann Rogers Needlepoint books seem to all be fairly rare. I am not surprised. This is an amazing and unusual book. the books takes you from soup to nuts. so to speak. There are chapters on Getting Started, Your Project, Stitches, Designing Your Own, Transferring a Design to Canvas and Finishing Your Project plus a Glossa...
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...
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...
Maggie Lane is a very well known name in Needlepoint, she is the author of a number of books including Needlepoint By Design: Variations on Chinese Themes, More Needlepoint By Design, Maggie Lane's Needlepoint Pillows and her work on the iconic book Pageant and Pattern for Needlepoint Canvas with Shirlee Lanz, Chinese Rugs Designed For Needlepoint not to mention Gold and Silver Needlepoint.
These remain important needlepoint books, even all these years later. This book is less well kn...
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...
This book was published in association with the WWF, The World Wide Fund for Nature. It has 23 needlepoint designs featuring exotic animals, birds and flowers on the endangered species list. Wildlife in Needlepoint was published in England by Anaya Publishers LTD in 1992. It is a large coffee table size book full of beautiful full color pictures and color guides for each design. What it does not have is Stitch Graphs or Charts showing how to stitch these fine designs. On the "How to Use This B...
This interesting book is about historical lettering applications and lettering design more then an actual instruction book. There are graphs, lettering templates and instructions but design does seem to be most of what this book is about.
It is a Batsford Book, another of thier fine books on stitcery and published in the UK, so the historical design is mostly English. Still is is an interesting read and full of pictures.
The chapters are: History of Lettering, History of embroidered Letters...
Another interesting Needlepoint Book by talented needlepoint writer and teacher Maggie Lane. The Chinese Inspired Rugs shown and graphed in this book are all actually "rug size". They range from (in inches) 40X40, 23 X 49, 28 X 56, 30X70, 43X 60, 36X 59 and more. There are 10 rug designs, they all have expanded graphs, clear directions and thread color lists. There are sections on everything else you need to know to stitch a needlepoint rug including finishing, which is different from regular...
