Janet M. Perry
Barg-avatar
Janet M. Perry is one of the leading authors of needlepoint books and writers of needlepoint stitch guides in the world.



Her newest book, Bargello Revisited, has revolutionized the popular technique of Bargello with over 30 projects, comprehensive information on stitching Bargello, and the tools needed to create unique projects.



She writes innovative guides for needlepoint canvases from over 20 designers. She puts into practive her motto to make needlepoint fast, fun and affordable.



Doing needlework almost constantly since 1970, when she was a teenager, she has been designing almost as long. Her first love is needlepoint, which allows her to combine an addiction to threads of all kinds with a fascination for the process of taking designs and rendering them on the grid of counted work.



Janet is constantly stretching the bounds of needlepoint and then applying these ideas and techniques to projects which are for beginning and intermediate level stitchers. Some of the things she has adapted include paintings by Piet Mondrian, depression quilts, Celtic knotwork, tartans and fence railings. To her the sources for great designs are everywhere and she has several notebooks of ideas to prove it!



She specializes in developing innovative and exciting stitch guides for hand-painted needlepoint canvases. Her work is highly sought-after by designers. Currently she has written stitch guides for more than 20 designers, including Melissa Shirley, Needledeeva, Kelly Clark, and Raymond Crawford.



She has taken many of her methods and adapted them to a classroom format and to consultation for individuals (through shops).



She is an expert in needlepoint, both on the Web and through her writing for a variety of publications. She works with designers, shops, and thread manufacturers on new products and regularly reports on trends in needlepoint.



Her books, Needlepoint Trade Secrets and Bargello Revisited, are available on Amazon.com and from book and needlework stores.
