Needlework
School New Burlington Books reprint 1987 4to, cloth covered boards, very very minor wear to dustwrapper, remains of sticker to front pastedown o/w VG++/VG++ 824 gms (Order reference 2760). Over the last ten years, embroidery has developed from a decorative craft interest to a serious subject of study. At the same time, teaching embroidery has moved from the application of a narrow concern with technique to the encouragement of a creative and expressive art-form enjoyed by people of all ages and abilities. NEEDLEWORK SCHOOL has been designed as a practical first course in the skills and techniques of embroidery with special emphasis on design and colour. The authors of this book are members of a teaching group with more than ten years' experience of working with pupils at all levels, from the beginner to the fine arts or college student. Fully illustrated with over 700 photographs and step-by-step diagrams, NEEDLEWORK SCHOOL shows the reader how to progress from simple to complicated stitches, gradually developing a range of skills which will allow an increased freedom of personal expression. The book deals with all the major categories of the embroiderer's craft, from traditional stumpwork to machine embroidery. A special section at the end of the book lays the ground for more creative work through detailed study of actual projects created by the authors. At every stage, a wealth of information is provided by materials and techniques, together with positive suggestions for project development.

B T Batsford reprint 2000 4to, very very minor wearto board edges, very minor bumps to boards, very very minor creasing to dustwrapper edges o/w VG++/VG++ 775 gms (Order reference 11904). Valerie Campbell-Harding’s stunning book is packed full with exciting and innovative ideas for machine embroidery. The sewing machine's potential for creative use is enormous. Even the most basic machine has a zig-zag facility and many decorative effects can be achieved just using this and the other practical stitches. Machine Embroidery: Stitched Patterns opens with an accessible chapter on the basics how to use the machine plus essential information on needles, thread, feet and stabilizers. The next chapter looks at using the basic stitch patterns combining, altering and distorting them to achieve unique effects. Valerie Campbell-Harding then explores combining these patterns with different embroidery techniques hand stitching, quilting, applique, free machine embroidery — using a versatile range of fabrics and threads. Stitching and slashing, quilting with patterns, decorating a fabric, machine-wrapped cords, stitched thread braids and woven patterns are just some of the exciting ideas. Valerie Campbell-Harding then looks at using larger patterns in machine embroidery working with different sizes, decorating fabric and adding further embroidery. For those with more sophisticated machines, there is a chapter on experimenting with scanned patterns which gives guidance on what to scan, how to stitch and how to develop the design further. The Gallery, with a collection of finished pieces using the techniques illustrated in the book, will inspire embroiderers to start machining straight away. With over 80 colourful photographs and 75 line illustrations, Machine Embroidery: Stitched Patterns encourages the embroiderer to maximize the potential of the sewing machine and to experiment creatively with stitch patterns in new and innovative ways. |

Crabtree,
Caroline: World Embroidery - 25 original
projects from traditional designs Landscape is a fruitful source of inspiration for embroidery, but the enormous range of possibilities may make it difficult to decide on subject, interpretation and technique. Verina Warren is well known for her sensitive landscape embroideries, and in this book she offers practical approaches to design which will help the reader achieve striking, visually effective results. The first chapter suggests ways of finding a suitable subject for the design, using both sketching and photography. The author goes on to demonstrate how to translate the subject into embroidery, with advice on technical points such as perspective, horizon lines and focal points. A chapter on colour shows its importance in creating atmosphere and seasonal effects. Techniques are also covered, in particular machine embroidery and spraying and painting backgrounds, as well as mounting and finishing. Finally, Verina explains the stages of one of her own embroidered landscapes, with details of every step from the first sketches through to the finished work. This
carefully planned and thoughtfully illustrated book will bring successful
landscape designs within the reach of every embroiderer. |

Jane: The Sampler Workbook - a practical source
and record book for embroiderers Letts 1st 1992 small 4to, glazed pictorial boards, name + date to front free endpaper verso o/w F 430 gms (Order reference 7948). Most keen embroiderers, cross-stitchers and sampler-makers attempt to keep a record of the thread they buy, the designs they like — motifs they often use over and over again — or of patterns seen in a museum or at a friend's house. It is also useful to keep track of pieces of embroidery made and given as special presents to friends and relatives. But lists, loose notes and sketches are easily lost. At last, there is a practical and attractive way to store all this information, and much else besides. The Sampler Workbook is a personal needlecraft book, enabling embroiderers to prepare their own charts on graph paper and build up a repertoire of old, new and personal designs. It also contains a wealth of invaluable tips, many charted original designs by Jane Greenoff, a thread exchange list, information on the different types of embroidery cloth and canvas available, and several specially designed sections in which the owner of the book can keep systematic personal needlecraft records. The workbook is charmingly illustrated with pictures of antique samplers and of modern ones, specially made by the author. This workbook has been devised for practical use, in the truest sense of the word. Samplers
have been taken as the theme for this book because for centuries they
were the way to practise and keep patterns of embroidered motifs and alphabets.
The sampler has an almost universal tradition and these personalized needlecraft
records of yesteryear are much admired and collected today for their decorative
value. Embroiderers everywhere are keen to copy the old designs, or to
create their own, producing samplers for their own sake, as pictures. |

Carol Cheney & Devlin, Georgia French: A
New Look at Needlepoint - the complete guide to canvas embroidery If you imagine that canvas embroidery is simply a matter of repeating the same stitch over and over again, with threads of identical thickness ~ think again. In this very practical and down~to~earth book, the authors show how this traditional needlecraft can, be used to create exciting and innovative designs. The basic skills and stitches are all described in detail and are demonstrated with clear step~by~step drawings and photographs; but these simple, techniques can very readily be adapted to more unusual embroideries, combining a wide range of threads and easy~to~use dyes. Whether
you have any artistic training or not, you wiIl find that the techniques
explained here will make it easy to create your own designs, tailored
to suit your taste, your surroundings and your lifestyle. |

Combining her considerable talents and infectious enthusiasm for William Morris, Beth Russell has adapted a number of his most beautiful designs to create an original needlepoint collection for the home. Morris was probably the most prolific and talented designer that the nineteenth century ever witnessed. Inspired by the natural world around him, he produced a wealth of designs for embroideries, tapestries and wallpapers. Beth Russell's needlepoint projects are a unique interpretation of this work and pay due homage to his creative genius. Most of these projects are worked in tent stitch for canvas and the accompanying colour charts enable the reader to follow the instructions with ease.

Figures on Fabric - embroidery design sources and their application A & C Black 1st 1980 4to, F/VG++ 500 gms (Order reference 13255). Figures on Fabric is the first book to examine the origins of designs chosen for embroidery. It provides answers to the fascinating question 'Where did artists, pattern drawers and talented amateur needlewomen like Mary Queen of Scots find their inspiration?' The author traces numerous designs to their printed sources among Bible illustrations, theatrical prints, books of natural history and classical mythology, as well as pattern books end magazine inserts. Many of the pieces illustrated come from private or foreign collections, and are shown with the woodcuts or engravings from which they derive. The traditional methods of transferring these designs to the fabric are also described and illustrated. The book contains full references for further reading, and will be particularly valuable for art students and others engaged in textile studies, museum curators and collectors. For the general reader it gives a fascinating background to the many handsome pieces of needlework still surviving in churches, museums and historic houses, while the amateur needlewoman will find in it the answer to some of the problems of transferring her ideas on to cloth using modern aids. The
jacket illustration is from a needlework screen worked by Julia, Lady
Calverley, at Wallington Hall, Northumberland, a property of the National

Warren,
Verina: Landscape in Embroidery Landscape is a fruitful source of inspiration for embroidery, but the enormous range of possibilities may make it difficult to decide on subject, interpretation and technique. Verina Warren is well known for her sensitive landscape embroideries, and in this book she offers practical approaches to design which will help the reader achieve striking, visually effective results. The first chapter suggests ways of finding a suitable subject for the design, using both sketching and photography. The author goes on to demonstrate how to translate the subject into embroidery, with advice on technical points such as perspective, horizon lines and focal points. A chapter on colour shows its importance in creating atmosphere and seasonal effects. Techniques are also covered, in particular machine embroidery and spraying and painting backgrounds, as well as mounting and finishing. Finally, Verina explains the stages of one of her own embroidered landscapes, with details of every step from the first sketches through to the finished work. This
carefully planned and thoughtfully illustrated book will bring successful
landscape designs within the reach of every embroiderer. |
