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 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...
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...
Tips & Techniques for Needlepoint by Master Teacher Susan Sturgeon Roberts was recently dis-continued by my wholesaler. This is a great book and I was sorry it was no longer available. I contacted the author (Susan) to ask if there was any chance this book might be available again and she had some copies of each in stock. I have sold all the copies of this interesting & useful book that I had. I contacted Susan again and I have bought a whole print run from them. This is, by far, my largest e...
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...
This is an amazing book, Yes, it is embroidery, yes it is in French but still, just wonderful. The language is not much of a barrier here, the designs & graphs do not need translation.
Most of the designs are easily used for needlepoint or cross-stitch, or surface embroidery over needlepoint.
There is not much more I can tell you, my high school French is not that good 48 years later but I can show you pictures.
Published, I think, in France in 2007 by Editions L'Inedite-Paris...

There are many more needlepoint designs in this book, I have only listed the names of the designers who have charted designs in the book.
This is a large handsome book. A...

Tracy Franklin is also a contributor to The Royal School Of Needlework Embroidery Techniques book, which is also listed here in my RSN Book category. Although this book spec...
