Making Mathematics with Needlework Color Sense: Creative Color Combinations for Crafters Thorns and Roses: Rose and Cactus Designs Festival at St. Basil’s
This book is beautifully illustrated and comes with complete patterns and the mathematics behind each project. The editors successfully connect the worlds of mathematics and the fiber arts. Each chapter covers a different mathematical paper and corresponding needlework project and includes mathematical explanations, needlework instructions, educational material, and specific projects to demonstrate the principles discussed. Includes ten papers by experts and ten projects. This concealed spiral-bound book is for anyone who has ever struggled to select the perfect blend of hues. Here are thousands of tried and true color combinations, all based on established tenets of color theory, to chose from. Not only do you get the gorgeous rose designs shown on the cover but Debbie includes a piece of New Mexico where she resides using cactus designs (on the back cover). She includes traceable patterns for the cover design, as well as for those inside. The basic stitches used are included as well as detailed instructions for the designs. As she states, “This piece is meant to evoke summer fireworks that is why the sky is not totally black in Red Square.” This great needlepoint project comes with the listing of threads needed, tools, full size pattern to trace, stitch graphs and descriptions and tips on doing this neat project. It comes in a spiral-bound book for easy use.

Needle Painting Dress in the Court of King Henry the VIII Friends: A Common Thread: Samplers with a Quaker Influence Broad Stripes and Bright Stars
In Japanese. I love this small book that was loved by seminar goers as well. This talented author and designer creates little stitches with thread and ribbon to create pictures akin to pointillism in painting. Pictures lead you through the process of creating these. The minute I laid my eyes on this book I fell in love. History of royalty in 14th Century England comes to life in great photos, paintings and in-depth research. Full transcripts of James Worsley’s wardrobe book of 1516 and 1521, which provides a glimpse of the king’s clothing, sadly no longer exists, accompany this text. This book is available in a large paper format. There is also information on the cut and construction of garments, materials, colors, and more. This is a large catalog. Carol Humphries is the guest editor and her in-depth research on the samplers in this collection is a must-have for sampler lovers. This book took off like a rocket at the ANG National Seminar this year. Michele has stitched the American flag with 269 stitch squares. All directions to do the flag are included as are wonderfully graphed stitches making this a great stitch reference as well as a fabulous project.

Kimono Revisited The Flat-fold and Friends    
This great needlework teacher and designer got permission to reprint this booklet done some years back by Hummingbird House. He added a new cover, some corrections and some great tips along with this great piece designed long ago by Maggie Lane. – I’m thrilled about this project. Judy had taken her finishing books out-of-print and now has brought all six of them back in a 8 ˝ x 11 size, hole-punched for placement in a three-ringed binder. Learn how to do a flat-fold, a box, heavy weights, stuffed stand-ups, round/oval box and even Christmas ornaments.
