I snagged a copy of this for myself. Long & Short Embroidery is absolutely beautiful (as is L & S Needlepoint). It is used in Glorafilia designs and is is widely mentioned but there are scant or not complete directions for how to do it right. The subtitle for Long & Short Embroidery is" A Collection of Flowers". Each project or example (there are too many to do them all) has a close up stitched picture of the flower or flowers. Then a template drawing. The thread Key is done using DMC & Anchor...
I really like the subtitle to this book "Techniques, Projects and Pure Inspiration". To me, that pretty much sums up needlework. Techniques, Projects and Pure Inspiration but I am getting off track...again. The back cover calls the author " an exceptionally skilled gold work embroiderer" but there is nothing in this book that does not apply directly to Needlepoint, as well. The back cover goes on to say "Drawing on traditional method, she creates works that are brilliantly executed, in a styl...
A newly published Bargello Needlepoint book is a welcome event, there are so few of them. Modern Bargello: How To Stitch Colorful Projects was released by Search Press in 2020, it is a complete and comprehensive overview.It begins at the beginning, an introduction to the incredible patterns of Bargello. The first 7 chapters cover everything you need to stitch Bargello patterns with easy to understand directions, many full color photos, and tips.There are 15 projects in Modern Bargello...
In 2016 Search Press acquired and revised Country Bumpkin's catalog of needlework books, the A-Z series. This is the revised edition of the 2005 copy of the A-Z of Stumpwork. Stumpwork is three-dimensional stitchery on fabric or needlepoint canvas. The book begins with general information on Stumpwork or raised embroidery, then an overview of stitches and techniques. There are 20 design projects, each with color photographs, easy to follow directions and a full-size pattern. As...

This comprehensive book includes photos of vintage ribbon work and the complete techniques for making ribbon flowers & leaves.

As far as I am concerned, Di van Nierkerk is The Master Teacher of Ribbon Work. She has published many fine books on this fascinating subject. I believe that I carry all her current, in publication, books on this subject. As in each of her books, the directions are clear and easy to follow and the pictures are all in full color. She gives you everything you will need to complete each project: The needles you will want, in each of the sizes needed. The colors and amounts of silk Ribbon The c...
Silk Ribbon Embroidery seems to be one thing many stitchers are interested in and want to either learn or advance the skills they already have. Helen Dafter is a well known Silk Ribbon embroidery teacher & writer. I list several other book by Ms Dafter including Floral Interpretations for Silk Ribbon & Little Book of Silk Ribbon Flowers. Both terrific books. This book is a little different, It is aimed at beginners and takes *A Workshop Approach* to learned Silk Ribbon Embroider. I am noyt sur...
I am a fan of this series of Royal School of Needlework Essential Stitch Guide books. They cover the chosen subject completely, comprehensively, in a way you can understand. This is a quote from the back cover, I think it says it all " The Royal School of Needlework teaches hand embroidery to the highest standard, developing techniques in new and innovative ways" It goes on to say "with clear step-by-step instructions and examples of both historical and contemporary pieces, Graduate Apprentice...
I can't say enough in praise of these wonderful Royal School of Needlework Essential Stitch Guides books. I have been waiting for this one for some months now. Bead Embroidery is not what you think of as *embroidery*. The cover shows a needlepoint piece stitched using beads & varied threads. The RSN, in the UK often refer to needlepoint as Canvas Embroidery. Everything in this book is adaptable to both. This is a "soup to nuts" guide, beginning with a short history of Bead Embroidery. It take...

This is a Milner Craft Series book, one of Sally Milner Publishing's excdellent stitchery books from Australia.
In the introduction to this handsome book Jane Nicholas says her inspiration for this book was her fascination with medieval illuminated books such as The Book Of Hours. She was driven to embroider them and used the techniques of stumpwork to enh...
Verana is a Brazilian Embroidery project book, the design is a woman's face surrounded by her flowing hair and flowers. It is a very pretty design and a nice introduction to Brazilian embroidery.Brazilian embroidery is traditionally done with rayon embroidery floss on fabric. This book describes the different types (all of them the EdMar brands) of rayon floss and the results from using them plus needle size suggestions. There is a list of the suggested thread types and colors used for...
Before you react to this book's title, while it is an embroidery book, there is very little here that can't be used for needlepoint. I have not ever seen a book about stitching faces or portraits before. I know I have seen a number of canvases with faces included in the design lately so I thought this book was worth a look. The subtitle is: Ideas, Inspiration and Techniques Jan Messant is a well-known name in embroidery. She is a teacher of Embroidery As An Art Form and a member of the Embroid...
