Book - needlework books we own

Readers Digest also do an excellent Knitting one too.

Yes they do. And the "all in one" book is a good reference to have also!

WOW!!!! I'm impressed!!!! I've got lots of books, but not very many are needlework books.

I did find a Jo I. Christensen, The Needlepoint Book, at Half Price Books last year for $4 just after we did the SAL. DM has a few that got moved to the basement when I moved back and took over two rooms. I'll have to take a look and see what's down there.

I've got a long way to catch up to you.

The last couple have no author listed. This has been a good reminder for me to get busy and update my list.

Now I feel like an official hoarder because I collect books, patterns and supplies for all my crafts. In my craft room there is a 6 shelf rack about 7 foot tall and 4 foot wide filled with craft books involving crossstitch, quilting, knitting, crocheting and scrapbooking. There is a 4 drawer office filing cabinet filled with cross stitch pattern charts and a 2 drawer one filled with crochet/knitting charts.

The hallway is lined with bookcases that hold my collection of mysteries I haven't read - about 1000. Did I mention we went to a book sale at the library today? Good thing I read quickly and often!!

I use my books mainly for inspiration, seldom using a pattern or chart exactly like it is printed. I especially love books that show techniques, patterns or reference information as I use them to gather ideas for my projects.

We have another 8 bookcases floor to ceiling in the living room and dining room as well as more books in my husband's "den". Love, love, love books!!! Moni

Should have added, I also like the Glorafilia, Beth Russell, Elizabeth Bradley and Diana Vandervoort books - the latter does Temari books.

You've got to be kidding, right? I'm supposed to list my books? Can I just count them and give you all a total?

That's only half the fun. After all, you must keep a list to keep from buy a second copy of something! LOL

I never, ever buy a second copy of a book unintentionally. The books I own are all here, in my head. LOL

I had good intentions this year of sitting down and logging all the books, just haven't gotten around to it yet.

Donna in Virginia

Logging the books. What a quaint idea. lol

Before we left for cool places north, I volunteered at my LNS...and listed all the books she had from an estate sale. The old lady is in a memory place, so Carolyn has her stash...and we had to list everything for the Guardian and Judge. Some of the names you folk had listed are now very familiar to me! Maybe I should put an offer in on some, and add to my collection.

Now I am back home, I think I will do that with the bookshelf books. I tend to find quite a few in yard sales and estate sales.

Do it!

And if you see any stumpwork among them, let me know!
