Di Van Niekerk is a very fine needlework teacher and author. She has made the areas of Ribbon Work and Stumpwork (often combined) her speciality. Embroidered Alphabets is ou-oprint now and has gotten very expensive & hard to find. I hate it that these excellent books go out-of-print so quickly. She is also the author of Cicely Mary Baker's Flower Faries in Ribbon Embroidery & Stumpwork, a really magical book as well as the wonderful Silk Roses book. This is her Embroidered Alphabets...
With three authors, the book's info did not fit in my "title space". It is: A Gardener's Book of Needlepoint by Jack Bodi, Meg Merrill and Catherine di Montezemolo. Meg Merrill's name is the most familiar, she is the co-author of Nature in Needlepoint with Eva Brent. This is a wonderful book, full of garden or flower based designs. In the last few years Kaffe Fassett has done a series of Needlepoint Kits for Erhman Tapestry based on Garden Vegetables, in close-up. There are a few designs si...
I am often asked about books of lettering and monograms for stitchers. There are a few good ones out there but none as comprehensive as this one. This is another of Graham Leslie McCallum's excellent sourcebooks containing 4000 Alphabets & Letters and including a CD with everything on it. The book includes whole alphabets and elaborate initials (monograms) from Roman inscription to modern alphabets for graphic designers. The book also has a visual explanation of the development of l...
This interesting book is about historical lettering applications and lettering design more then an actual instruction book. There are graphs, lettering templates and instructions but design does seem to be most of what this book is about.
It is a Batsford Book, another of thier fine books on stitcery and published in the UK, so the historical design is mostly English. Still is is an interesting read and full of pictures.
The chapters are: History of Lettering, History of embroidered Letters...
79 Decorative Alphabets For Designers and Craftspeople is a very good collection of letter styles, they range all the way across the spectrum, from plain to very fancy, from small to large. There is even a set of Numbers on page 95. why just one set of numbers is beyond me, makes no sense does it? Carol Belanger Grafton is a very well-knoiwn name as editor of books of this type. She consulted with Rita Weiss, another experienced & well-known needlework writer and editor on the final selection...

Illuminated letters and manuscripts are the most beautiful and prized, the possibilities are nedless. These alphabets range from simpler leaf or rose entwined designs to the elegant and classic Harlequin lettering.
Each alphabet is done in full color with basic instructions as well as ideas for variations.
There is a section...
Carol Belanger Grafton is a familiar name, she has edited several other books of this kind. I stopped counting at 13 titles, there were more. I carry some of her's fine compilations here in both my New Monogram and Alphabets category as well as several of her used books.There are no number designs in this book.When I saw this title I could not resist and I am glad I did not. This is truly a unique collection of Monograms and Alphabets. There are all different sizes and styles here but I want...
