Needlepoint and Pattern by Gloria Katzenberg
Needlepoint and Pattern by Gloria Katzenberg
I have lost count of how many copies of this book I have sold, the first one sold fast and they continue to sell. I am having a hard time getting copies in very good condition. The book is subtitled: Themes and Variations. it has a full chapter on technique and a large assortment of beautiful patterns, all shown in color, with clear graphs on the facing page. Needlepoint and Patterns has many Bargello Needlepoint patterns as well as Needlepoint. This is a large, hardcover book published by...

Marnie Ritter's Canvas Patterns Book 1 and Book 2
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
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...

Needlepoint Samplers by Felicity Lewis
Needlepoint Samplers by Felicity Lewis
Needlepoint Samplers is an unusual book and quite hard-to-find. Samplers for Needlepoint is not a subject that has been written about much and this book does it very well. Stitched samplers were one of the most popular forms of needlework from the 17th century to the end of the 19th century. Indeed, they are still being stitched today. Most of what you see are Embroidered or Cross Stitch Samplers on cloth. Needlepoint Samplers are rare. The author traces the development of Needlepoint Samplers...

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...

Beth Russell's William Morris Needlepoint
Beth Russell's William Morris Needlepoint
Beth Russell has become an authority on Arts & Crafts Movement Needlepoint designs. This is a handsome book, beautifully mounted and photographed. This seems to be a very hard-to-find book and a used copy in this condition might be relatively rare. It does not look like this book has been opened or read. The book has 22 needlepoint charts based on original William Morris designs. They are really beautiful needlepoints but I have to say (in the service of honesty) I would not want to have to fol...

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...

Needlepoint Cats by Julie Hasler
Needlepoint Cats by Julie Hasler
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...

Glorafilia: The Miniature Needlepoint Collection by Jennifer Berman & Carole Lazarus
Another wonderful Glorafilia Needlepoint book, this one is not as well known as the others. The subtitle reads: Over 16 Exquisitely Small and Easy-to-Make Projects. 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. The directions are clear and complete. Published by Crown...

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
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...

Picture Your Dog in Needlework by B. Borssuck and Ann Jackson
Picture Your Dog in Needlework by B. Borssuck and Ann Jackson
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...

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...

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...

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...

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...
