When I first ordered this, I assumed it was a book of varied needlepoint stitches. I was surprised when it arrived. The subtitle for this books is:
101 Exciting Designs in Bargello, Quickpoint, Grospoint, and other repeat patterns. Interesting combination, not just the usual. This book is" Lisabeth Perrone's own workbook", she shares the designs, colors and technique of an expert stitcher" (from the dust jacket). Every pattern is shown in a full color photograph, a B & W or color photo...
Needlepoint Bargello is another wonderful Bargello and 4-way Bargello Book by Dorothy Kaestner. This book has 25 entirely new 4-Way Bargello Patterns. Each has a chart and a full color picture of the finished piece. The book also includes 32 "regular" Bargello designs as well as something unusual.
All this time I have been selling this book and I have sold many copies of it, I thought the book's name was Bargello Needlepoint. It isn't. The title is Needlepoint Bargello. If it wasn'...
This booklet by Kenneth J Goelzer is rare and then some. There were, at one time, a small series of these Diamonds in the Round Bargellos but I only occasionally come across one of them. This is a very rare book, especially in this condition.The booklet is the cover design of a round bargello done in 8 way stitching. This is a variation of the 4-Way Bargello that we are all more familiar with. Or maybe I should call it an extension.Kenneth Goelzer says 8-Way was developed as an off...
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...
There are so few Bargello books out there and the number is shrinking as they discontinue books and it gets harder to find the old ones. Along with all the others, this too is becoming a rare book. This is a Bargello beginner's book and a good one. It starts with a short history of Bargello. Then it begins at the beginning (a proper place to start) with materials, basic stitches etc. There are full color pictures of some of the basic Bargello patterns and then a chapter about finishing. Step...
Florentine Embroidery is subtitled The Complete Guide to Working Florentine Stitches, From Choosing The Right Canvas To Blocking The Finished Embroidery with 50 Patterns to Stitch. (ok, I paraphrased a little)
The instructions are clear and comprehensive. Some of the motifs shown are similar to the ones most all these books have but a few are unique. I used this book to help teach myself Bargello Needlepoint and I found it a good teacher. I know there is quite a bit of confusion out there...
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...

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...
