Assembling and Using a Bargello Library

By coincidence, BargelloNeedlepoint.com posted an article on how to assemble a library of bargello books at the same time that...
http://bargelloneedlepoint.com/set-up-a-a-bargello-needlepoint-library/
...Janet Perry wrote an article on her site about how to best use the old charts and directions in bargello books form the 1970s.
http://www.nuts-about-needlepoint.com/bargello-books-old-and-new
BargelloNeedlepoint.com also lists recommended books and has links to buy them via Amazon if you are interested. Here are three good places to find used bargello books (not to mention new ones):

http://www.needleworkbooks.com/searchresults.asp?key=bargello&Con=True
http://www.ruthkernbooks.com/
While looking for the links above, I found a new used needlework online shop, but I don't know anything about it. The three above are well known bookstores, however. I've bought from all three and can guarantee their customer service.

If you are lucky enough to have a used bookstore in your vicinity, check it out. Your library may sell bargello books in their book sales, and of course your local needlepoint shop may occasionally have bargello books, new and old, for sale.

A Pillow Is Born
SukyLady has been stitching a Halloween design and in this blog posting, shows how she turned it into a pillow. It's great fun to see how she does it, and very instructional whether you plan to make up a pillow yourself or just want to see how it is done.
