This wonderful book has become the one book that I sell more of then anything else, and with good reason. I first heard about this book at the same place I learn so much about Needlepoint & new needlework things (be they books or tools or designs or stitches). Of course I mean Jane's Chilly Hollow Needlepoint Adventure Blog. Jane mentioned a new needlework finishing book. Since there are very few other currently published books on Needlepoint Finishing and one increasingly rare older book o...
The Lone Star Chapter of the American Needlepoint Guild (ANG) in Houston Texas has collected some of their favorite *go to* stitches in this handy sized small book. Perfect to take with you in your needlepoint tote (or totes as the case may be). Edited by Sue Ella Allen and John Waddell, copyright 2019.The members of the Lone Star Chapter submitted their favorite "hand charted stitches" (no photocopies) in the various categories. The editors chose what to use.The format of the book is simila...
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...
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...
Another fine June McKnight needlepoint book, this one full of ideas, stitches and patterns for needlepoint borders. The chapters include: Regular Count Borders 55 pages No Count Borders 23 pages Corners and Medallions 10 pages Whimsies 8 pages I think the instruction on corners will be quite useful, I know I have troubles with that, myself, sometimes. Needlepoint Borders is a small (5.5 X 5 inches) paper bound book with a metal spiral binding. There is a clear plastic overpage on the cover t...
Finally, June McKNight has re-designed the cover of this excellent book. It was almost impossible to read, white on yellow and drove me (and others) crazy (not too long a trip for me). The new deign is very good, readable and striking. Thanks June. Another of June McKnight's wonderful spiral bound needlepoint stitch books. This book focuses on stitches she considers "Architectural" . it is difficult for me to describe what she means by this. There are so many stitches here. I find that I tur...
Suzanne Howren & Beth Robertson are the authors of many fine needlework books including the 3 book Stitches For Effect series. In the introduction they say "This little book was created in response to many requests from friends & students who wanted a more compact version of our books Stitches For Effect, More Stitches For Effect & Even More Stitches for Effect. The title, Stitches To Go says it all, these are just the stitches. In a format for use when you are "on the go"". Stitches To Go is...
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...
For me, anyway, Shading has been one of the hardest things to learn. While you can learn most stitches by following a diagram, shading takes thought, planning and judgement (sort of like the rest of life, isn't it?). Most of the books I have found that teach Shading are embroidery books and they are concerned with Silk Shading. I find that every technique and approach they teach applies to Needlepoint as well. The author, Sarah Homfray, is a Graduate apprentice. To quote from the back cover...
I am really impressed by all these new and very useful Beginner's Books. Some of these techniques can be overwhelming if you are new to them. Recently there has been a new Beginner's Silk Ribbon stitching book A Beginner's DVD on Silk Ribbon work by Helen Gibb, , a Beginner's Guide to Beading by Ann Cox, Needlepoint Secrets by June McKnight & Needlepoint: a Foundation Course by Sandra Hardy. These are just a few of the influx of Beginner's Books, some of the ones I have in stock here at NewNeed...
I had not seen this June McKnight book before. it is copyrighted 1993 but perhaps not always available. It is, like the other June McKNight needlepoint books, and useful and very portable book. As I have done with some of the other June McKnight books, I think listing the chapters will give you a good idea of the contents. FOLIAGE 30 PAGES FLOWERS 36 PAGES GARDEN STRUCTURES 9 PAGES ANIMALS 10 PAGES INDEX OF TREES & FLOWERS The book is full of wonderful flower and foliage stitches, all easy to...
