› Find signed collectible books: 'Donna Kooler's Encyclopedia of Needlework'Book summary:Covering absolutely everything about needlework techniques and history, Encyclopedia of Needlework is comprehensive enough to be valuable for expert and novice alike. Over 40 pages are devoted to needlepoint alone, and with close-up photos of threads, frames, samples and canvas, the options are easy to understand. Practical tips, such as proper use of a magnifier or combining threads from different dye lots, are discussed in a straightforward manner, and author Donna Kooler manages to be authoritative without severity or condescension. Also discussing techniques for embroidery, candlewicking, hardanger, blackwork, pulled thread, counted cross stitch, and silk ribbon embroidery, everyone can find a new style to learn for combining thread and canvas to create unique works of art. Absolute beginners will appreciate the definitions, conversion chart, and painstaking detail taken in every stitch explanation, while advanced needleworkers will be glad to find the stitch index at the end of the book--you'll never get "stuck" in the middle of a new pattern again! Photos accompany the written history of each of these techniques, enabling novices to finally discover the proper name for those unusual pillow covers your granny stitched. Even the most experienced stitchers are sure to uncover a style they haven't experimented with yet, and with each stitch laid out clearly with illustrations, simple instructions, and suggestions for use, you'll be wanting to try them all. Most techniques have a companion pattern or two, so you can start playing with your new knowledge instantly. From a simple needlepoint pillow appropriately named "Glorious Poppy" to the elegant hardanger doily, each project is designed to showcase specific styles and develop your proficiency level as painlessly as possible. --Jill Lightner [via]

› Find signed collectible books: 'Elizabethan Treasures: The Hardwick Hall Textiles'Book summary:Hardwick Hall in Derbyshire, England, houses a world-famous collection of sixteenth- and seventeenth-century textiles. The fact that these exquisite pillow covers, wall hangings, bedcovers, carpets, and upholsteries, many decorated with superb embroidery, have survived in such good condition is little short of miraculous, and due in part to the formidable Countess of Shrewsbury, better known as Bess of Hardwick, who built the house in the 1590s. In her will, Bess instructed her heirs to 'have speciall care and regard to p'serve the same from all manner of wett, mothe and other hurte or spoyle thereof'. In this first illustrated and scholarly account of the collection, Santina Levey places the textiles in their day to day context. Using ledgers and other archival material she describes the origins of the different types of textiles, whether purchased ready-made or put together and decorated by embroiderers, whose work is illustrated by stunning close-up details. Inventories, letters, and personal reminiscences are used to chart the later history of the house and the inevitable alterations that four hundred years of use wrought on the original furnishings. Complete with a glossary and bibliography, this is an invaluable source of information for anyone interested in Elizabethan textiles. [via]

Softcover, University of Toronto Press
Find This Book
› Find signed collectible books: 'Embroiderers'Book summary:Embroiderers in the Middle Ages were purveyors of wealth and status since they supplied the Church and aristocratic patrons with a splendid variety of vestments and alter cloths, clothes and wall-hangings. Although a common pastime among women, professional embroidery was carried out by both men and women who sometimes operated from family workshops. These could expand significantly in response to great demand, as from a royal patron. But how did they acquire their skills? Were they well paid? What techniques did they employ? Who were their designers? The author answers these and many other questions, reassessing past research and introducing new documentary material, and casts light on the shadowy figures who toiled over the pieces we admire today in churches and museums.
With a section explaining and illustrating the techniques, this book will be an invaluable source of information and inspiration tothose interested in the great legacy of medieval embroiderers.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Erica Wilson's Needlework to Wear'Book summary:Erica Wilson believes that needlework should be worn and proves it in this book, her first devoted strictly to the wearable. America's first lady of stitchery has designed an exciting array of wardrobe accessories and accents, with instructions for making each of them. Together, they incorporate virtually every form of needlework, from crochet to macrame, from gold work embroidery to counted cross-stitch. All are featured in full color. You will find it surprisingly easy to make her needlework jewelry. The shimmering gold leaves and polka-dot pansies, the woven ribbon brace¬lets and flowering branch necklace, can be created at a fraction of the cost of their boutique counterparts. And each offers the special satisfaction and quality of being handmade. In the clothing chapter, Erica shows you how to paint on silk to make your own designer original. Also, she teaches you five different ways to trans-form an ordinary white blouse with touches of lace and embroidery. Fill your closet with an Old English smock, a popcorn bobble sweater, a swirling wave vest. Whether you intend to create your own clothes or simply adapt your store-bought wardrobe to your own special look, you will find a wealth of ideas. Try a cross-stitch handbag with the look of lace or weave ribbons to make a colorful clutch. No need to send these bags out for expensive mount¬ing, either. Erica tells you everything you have to know to stitch and to finish each bag. In the belts and collars chapter, you will learn how designers make twisted cord belts and beaded lace collars that might break your budget if you had to buy them. Most of these finish¬ing touches for your wardrobe are made from the simplest of materials. All you need to know are the techniques, and they are given here, complete with diagrams. Finally, a selection of quick and easy projects shows you how to whip up a crocheted flower necklace, or special edgings and buttons for a favorite sweater, or wonderful barrettes and hair combs.

› Find signed collectible books: 'Stitch 'N Bitch: The Knitters Handbook'Book summary:Knitting is hot, with 4 million newcomers in the last few years joining a core group of 38,000,000 knitters nationwide. And these are primarily young, creative, connected chicks with sticks who are coming together in living rooms, knitting cafes, and chic yarn stores, and making everything from funky hats to bikinis.
In Stitch 'n Bitch, Debbie Stoller-founder of the first Stitch 'n Bitch knitting group in New York City-covers every aspect of knitting and the knitting-together lifestyle: the how-to, the when-to, the what-to, the why-to. Writing with wit and attitude (The Knitty-Gritty, Blocking for Blockheads), she explains the different types of needles and yarns (and sheep, too) and all the techniques from basic to fancy, knit to purl to cast-off. She also shares her special brand of corrective surgery for when things go wrong, and offers fun and informative sidebars on such topics as how to find the best yarn for less, how to make a buttonhole, knitting etiquette, and what tools to keep in your knitting bag. At the heart of the book are forty stylish patterns: Alien Scarf, Big Bad Baby Blanky, Mohair Hoodie, Kitty and Devil Hat, Cell Phone Cozy, and Wonder Woman Bikini. And for anyone interested: how to start a Stitch 'n Bitch group. [via]More editions of Stitch 'N Bitch: The Knitter's Handbook:
