New Embroidery and Cross-Stitch Books
Products
First published in 1987, this edition of Kreuzstich Alphabete is dated 1995. The book is written in German however, there is almost no text in this book, aside from the introduction. This is a new book. It did not come with a dust jacket.
German language or not, this is a interesting and creative lettering book. There is really not much need for any english text here. The graphs are very well done, easy to use and understand.
What there is, is alphabets, many and very varied alphab...
Blackwork is (or can be) any 2 color stitching design (except for Whitework which is slightly different). There are books on Redwork and I suppose there could be Purplework or Greenwork and on.
Quoting and paraphrasing a lbit from the back cover:
"Blackwork Embroidery was very popular in Tudor times, and it is now enjoying a tremendous revival. A form of counted-thread work, Blackwork emphasizes shading contrast that are possible woeking with a single color thread."
"After covering the...
I am finding these needlepoint and embroidery design books in French to be excellent. The designs are original and well done and I don't find the lack of the English language to be much of a barrier.
While many of them have measurements in both inches and metric, this one's measureing is in metric. That is easy enough to translate with any search engine, if you are not familar with them.
The charts for these designs are clear and in full color with color keys for each.
The designs are:

This book is published in France and in the French language but that does not really effect the designs and information. There is almost no text, in any langauge other then the preface and the 2 page Conseils Techniques which means Examples Of Use.
There are many nature and plant based needlepoint design books, flowers, flora, trees & shrubs, landscape etc. but I know of no other book dedicated to vegetables.
This is an extraordinary book, each desgn has 6 pages. The first page is a stitched e...
This is a surprising little book. I was not expecting it but when I opened the hard cover, I found a wonderful metal spiral bound book inside.I love spiral bound books for reference. You can lay them flat and follow the instructions easily, without hav=ing to prop the book open.There is an introduction and a short history of Japanese Embroidery, with lots of full color pictures. Then a brief chapter on materials and equipment. Then Getting Started. Every step and detail is shown an...
This wonderful book is from The Royal School of Needlework's Essential Stitch Guides Series. This is nicely done book with everything you need to know about Blackwork included. It is what you would expect from a book sanctioned by The Royal School of Needlework.
After the introduction there is a History of Blackwork, then a section on material, framing and design. There are 10 pages of stitches and each is shown in great detail, with line drawings, full color photographs of the stitch in progr...
I have had this book on my shelves for a while now, never realizing it was no listed for sale yet. Oh dear. Trish Burr is a very well known needlework author, many of her books are available here for sale such as Miniature Needle Painting Embroidery, Needle Painting Embroidery, Color Confidence, Redoute's Finest Flowers in Embroidery, Long & Short Stitch Embroidery and the latest White Work With Color.The subtitle of Crewel & Surface Embroidery is Inspirational Floral Designs.Trish...
Another excellent book from Sally Milner Publishing in Australia. Trish Burr says that White Work with Color differs slightly from her previous books. Burr is a prolific needlework designer, teacher and author. Her books include Color Confidence in Embroidery, Needle Painting Embroidery, Long and Short Stitch Embroidery, Redoute's Finest Flowers in Embroidery, and Miniature Needle Painting. There are more but these are the ones I have in stock (or try to).All of the designs and project...
I have way too many copies of some of the wonderful out-of-print and rare Needlepoint books I stock. I have added 7 more titles to them, 4 of them Bargello books, and significantly lowered the price of all of the others.
Overstock New Books are 20% off, minimum, or more.
Take advantage of my acquisitive ways.
Ann Cox is also the author of the book A-Z of Silk Ribbon Flowers (which I just happen to also have in stock). It is an excellent book and has been very popular here. I first looked at t...
Some of the books in the Country Bumpkin series of A-Z needlework books have been re-written and newly released under the Search Press Classics name.This is essentially the same book, without the spiral binding and at a nice lower price.The sub-title is Learn More then 100 Beautiful Stitches & Techniques.Although, once again, the focus is embroidery almost all of the stitches & techniques here are easily adaptable to Needlepoint. Quoting (and paraphrasing) from the back coverEmbroidery with g...
Trish Burr is a well-known needlepoint teacher and author of the Long & Short Stitch book & DVD as well as numerous other needlework books including one of my favorites, Redoute's Finest Flowers. Needle Painting for Embroidery is subtitled " Fresh Ideas For Beginners" This book does begin with easier lessons, I find it goes way beyong beginners, the instructions are given in levels going from level one to level 3 which is more challenging. it is a very good Needlepainting book Essentially...
Trish Burr's stitchery books mostly call themselves Embroidery books but as I and many needlepointers already know, they are wonderful and very useful needlepoint books as well.
Very little shown in any of Ms. Burr's books is not applicable to needlepoint and in fact, I list a lot of them here alreadfy including:
Needle Painting Embroidery & Redoute's Finest Flowers. Her book Long & Short Stitch Embroidery is maybe the best book on Long & Short Stitch which is useful in many designs and feat...
