NewNeedlepoint.com just had it’s 3rd birthday. I am sometimes amazed that we made it this far. I keep making changes and tweaking my web store. I want it to be the best it can be.
NewNeedlepoint.com has 2 sections. There is my extensive collection of New Needlework books. I have expanded the books categories to cover other types of stitching in addition to Needlepoint.
There are knitting & crochet books, embroidery & cross-stitch books, color use & theory books and the catch-all misc. books category.
My Rare/Used Book titles are dictated by the books my customers want and the books that I can get, in reasonable condition. It is getting difficult to find decent, salable old books. Some of the Rare Books are getting quite hard to find.
I have also expanded the Rare/Used books categories to cover other types of Needlework.
I specialize in Bargello Needlepoint books although there aren’t that many of them out there, used or new.
The other side of NewNeedlepoint.com is the Canvases & Kits I sell. I stock mostly hand painted needlepoint designs by some of today’s great Needlepoint Designers. I have a special category for the gorgeous & colorful work of Laurel Burch.
I also have a good collection of Patt & Lee’s superior Glicee’
needlepoint designs including a whole section of Patt’s Scrap Threads collection. The perfect way to use all that extra stash we all have.
I assemble the kits myself, from the threads I love to stitch with. I use Anchor & DMC Perle Cotton Floss in sizes 3, 5 & 8. Also Kreinik Metallic Braid Thread in sizes 12 & 16.
I have a small Needlework Tool collection, all of it things I use and know work well.
I want to thank all my customers for 3 great years, so far. This coming year should be as interesting as the last 3 have been.

| Somehow, through a series of errors and miscounts I went from no copies of this book to too many. Don't ask me how. I think they are reproducing at night when no one is around.
This handy little book is another in June McKnigh's series of Needlepoint and Bargello Needlepoint book. The books are small with big spiral bindings. They are the perfect size to carry in your needlepoint tote bag and I love spiral bounds books, they lay flat when open.
The subtitle for this book is "The Ten ... More Info

Wildlife in Needlepoint was published in England by Anaya Publishers LTD in 1992. It is a large coffee table size book full of beautiful full color pictures and color guides for each design. What it does not have is Stitch Graphs or Charts showing how to stitch these fine designs.

| I love this needlepoint design. It is an original by MAYO Designs Needlepoint. I had been eyeing this for a while now on my wholesaler's web site.
I finally ordered it and then had to wait an extra long time to get it. The wait was well worth it.
If you love this, I suggest you buy it since I am thinking of keeping it to stitch myself.
Of course, if you do buy it, I could always order another for myself..that pretty much takes the teeth out of my pushy salesmanship, doesn't ... More Info

| I am not sure if I should call this the "companion canvas" to Patt & Lee's wonderful 15 Dogs in 15 Colors canvas, which is also listed here, or call it the Cat Lover's Version.
I think I am going to go with door #2. This is another of Patt's excellent Scrap Thread Designs. As with the similar 15 Dogs design you are absolutely not tied to the colors Patt has used.
The whole point to the scrap threads idea is to use what you have in your stash. These designs are the perfect way to ... More Info

| I had no idea what I was going to get when I first ordered this book. There is so little information out there about these out-of-print books. I had not heard of this book or this author before.
I was wonderfully surprised when this lovely little book. The author calls this book "Florentine Embroidery" it is really a Bargello Needlepoint Book. As you might know, the the UK and Europe Bargello is called Florentine Embroidery or Hungarian Point.
The book is subtitled "All you need to ... More Info

Margaret Boyles is a Master Teacher, her directions are concise and clear. her graphs are in full color and good size you don't have to peer at them with a magnifying glass.
I always have trouble finding this book in good condition or even decent condition. Each time I ... More Info

| Wrigley Field in Chicago is one of very few old iconic baseball fields left in America. Like Fenway Par, home of the Red Sox, the park is almost as much loved as the team.
I have been to a game at Wrigley Field, it really is a great place to watch baseball on a summer night.
Melinda McAra's has done a series of the wonderful hand painted baseball field and their teams needlepoint canvases.
These are her original designs and very colorful. Although the design seems intricate and uses ... More Info

| Another in June McKnight's valuable and very useful series of small needlepoint books. The title here is Needlepoint Wisdom and that is exactly what it is.
This book has been out of print for a few years now. I remembered it as a very useful book. I asked June if she had any more copies of this and she found 2. So...as they say, "back in the saddle again" (for 2 copies anyway, LOL)
This small 5 X 5.5 inches book (including the metal spiral binding) has 120 pages of suggestions, tips ... More Info

When I first saw this, it took me a minute to figure out what it was (sometimes I am rather dim). This cat looks very happy to be wearing her Lady Bug suit.
This needlepoint canvas is suitable for beginners. A color placement guide comes with the kit as well as a copy of my Beginner's Needlepoint Instruction Booklet ... More Info
