RARE Bargello Needlepoint Books

This is one of my favorite Bargello Needlepoint reference books. I have a few that I refer to constantly and this is one of them.
This is the USA edition of another fine Batsford English Needlework book, Florentine Canvaswork. This American edition, published the same year, is the exact same book with a different title. Dorothy Phelan's wonderful book is divided into 2 distinct parts. The first part is a study of the history and "characteristics" of this needle art and a comprehensive guide...
I have sold these books separately for years now. It never occured to me that they would make an excellent set of books until I saw them being offered that way on the rare book market.
Included in this set:
Guide to Upright Stitches
Guide to Slanted Stitches
Guide to Combination Stitches
Guide to looped and Knotted Stitches.
These are often considered, except for the Looped and Knotted Stitches, as just Bargello Stitches but they have many other uses in needlepoint and needlework.

This is a unique book, it is about using Bargello for borders. That's it and it is great. The book is full of charts and ideas. One of the best parts is that Bargello Borders deals with how to do those difficult corners and clearly explains and graphs out miters etc. The book is full of graphs and to the point information, It does not have many color pictures but that is not what this book is about. It is not a pretty picture book. It is instructions for Bargello Borders that are more compreh...
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...
Elsa Williams is one of the better known needlework designers. Her designs and products include needlepoint, embroidery, crewel work, cross stitch and more. The needlework products bearing her name are too numerous to mention.
This is considered an iconic needlepoint book. This is Elsa William's Bargello book. It is one of the most important of the early books on Bargello needlepoint. It is another fine Van Nostrand Reinhold book, published in 1967. It is hard cover and has 64 pages. Elsa Wi...
Subtitled "This Illustrated Introduction to Bargello Will Help You Create Fabulous Pillows, Rugs, belts and Wall hangings with Canvas and Yarn" Peri Wolfman is (or was) the owner of 2 Needlepoint stores. She has written this comprehensive Beginner's Guide to Bargello Needlepoint. The book includes many Bargello Stitches and the materials you ned. it begins with the basics. The chapters are: What Is Bargello Materials Basic Flame Stitch Correcting Mistakes Patchwork Sampler Bargello Patterns G...
Another popular book. Rare and getting harder to find in acceptable condition. This is a beginner level Bargello Needlepoint book, it is rated an A, which is the easiest designation. The bargello designs are adaptations of Navaho Rugs and early American Quilt patterns. There are 24 designs, with graphs, color photographs, yarn or thread colors used and working instructions. What the book doesn't have is anything telling you how much yarn or thread you need. But I can remedy that. In general...
This book, from the Batsford Series on Canvas Work, or Needlepoint, is surprisingly unusual. right from the start, this is a book for an more experienced stitcher. There are unusual techniques and ideas in this book and quite a bit of Bargello as well. There is ribbon work, mixed media needlepoint, etc. There are some design ideas here that are quite "painterly". It is not a stitch reference, it is an idea and inspiration book and inspired is the word for it. I did not know anything about this...
There are a few very good beginner's Needlepoint books out there but this is the first one that addresses the right hand/left hand issue. That is an important and often overlooked subject. The subtitle for this books is: The Complete Guide For Right and Left Handed Stitchers. IN addition, the name of one of the authors caught my attention. Iona Dittecbach is the author of the now (sadly) out of print Creating Contemporary Bargello. I was unaware that she had co-authored another books with Kim...
This is a handsome book with 20 original and very creagtive oriental influenced needlepoint designs.
I had heard of Shelley Faye Lazar but this is the first book of her's I have listed. Her bio on the back dust jacket flap says she studies graphics at Leicester Polytechnic in the UK and had been working with Tapestry and Embroidery for many years. I have not seen her first book, Shelley Faye Lazar's Pictures in Needlework but after seeing this book, I will look for it.
This is not a beginn...
