NewNeedlepoint.com has been open almost 2 years now. There have been many changes as I find my “spot” in the on-line needlepoint community.
NewNeedlepoint.com specializes in books, both new and used books. The needlepoint and Bargello Needlepoint book categories are extensive. Many of the books here are rare, some are quite rare and all have reviews I have written.
There are pictures of all the books. I find a picture of the cover sometimes tells you more about a book then any review can.
All the used/rare books have pictures of the book cover or dust jacket plus a picture of the inside pages so you can see the condition of the books for yourself.
I know it is a given in the used book market that you keep the dust jacket, no matter the condition but I find many good or very good condition books inside terrible and dirty dust jackets. In that case I remove them, no matter what the market “says”.
NewNeedlepoint.com is currently expanding it’s collection of other Needlework books. Included are Cross-Stitch, Glorafilia, Ribbon Stitching, Embroidery, Punchneedle, Bead Stitching, Whitework, Blackwork, Beginner Needlepoint and more.
I will continue to sell selected needlepoint canvases & kits including the work of Patt & Lee Designs, Laurel Burch and more. The Patt & Lee collection of Scrap Thread canvases are a wonderful way to use your extra yarn and thread stash.
The items in the small tools category is also carefully chosen. I only sell tools I have used myself.
NewNeedlepoint.com continues to change while I work to make it as good as it can be. I hope you like what you see.

| 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

| The subtitle on the cover of this book says " Exquisite Needlepoint Stitches Made Simple."
It is my understanding that this book and it's sequel have been out of print for a long time. It was very recently re-issued and I thought it might be a very valuable Needlepoint Stitch book so I ordered one of each, despite it's high price.
In the Introduction the author says that this book is the result of 15 years of teaching needlepoint. The author goes on to say that in the beginning it was ... More Info

| I had not seen this Elizabeth Bradley book, I had no idea it existed. I was surprised to find it had been first published in The USA in 1996.
This edition was re-copyrighted and re-issued in 2008. I am amazed no one knows about it.
This handsome coffee table size hardcover book by Master Needleworker Elizabeth (my title for her, not hers) has 25 Original charted Designs.
Each design is shown painted as a picture, in a full color graph and as a finished stitched piece.

| I am at a disadvantage here, I had not previously heard of Cicely Mary Barker's lovely Flower Fairies designs. I had just 1 boy, he is 31 now and was never interested in Fairies (or fashion either).
Di van Niekerk is the author of several other Ribbon Embroidery & Stumpwork books, some of which I list here on NewNeedlepoint.
In her introduction Ms Neikerk writes about these designs
"Cecily Mary Barker was born in Croyden, South London in 1895. She was enrolled at Croyden Art Society ... More Info

| This is a gorgeous, large needlepoint canvas by Danji Designs. It is beautifully hand painted on 12 mesh canvas so it will stitch up quickly, despite it's size. The design area is 13.5 inches across and the entire canvas is 19 X 19 inches.
This design can be stitched as a circle or as a square, there is plenty of canvas here to do it either way. I think this is one of the prettiest designs of this type I have seen. The layout and the simplicity appeals to me.

| Another great needlepoint book by Sherlee Lantz, the author of A Pageant of Pattern for Needlepoint Canvas. This book is subtitled "From Persian Pavilions to Op Art with One Stitch. Ms Lantz does seem to like the idea of a "pavilions". The book was published by Viking Press in 1978.
This book has become harder & harder to find. I have sold many copies of it here and it is now almost impossible to find one in both good condition and not too expensive.

| The books from Sterling Publishing are, in general, very good needlework books. This book is no exception. It is from Blandford Press in Dorset England and released here in the USA by Sterling.
The Treasury of Cross-Stitch Samplers is just that, 29 original design samplers by the author. While some of these designs have a "vintage" look to them, many are quite modern.
The sampler designs are easy to personalize by incorporating names, dates, etc. You can add your home, a pet, ... More Info

| This is the interesting & much talked about Sharon G book

The SENSE collection book is divided into 3 sections
1) stitches with very low texture and minimal pattern
2)stitches with medium texture and no diagonal flow
3) stitches with a well-defined diagonal flow.
She goes on to say that the wrong stitch selection can ruin the outcome of your canvas (I know that is true). The biggest ... More Info

| There are many brands of scissors out there for use by embroiderers, needlepoiters etc. In keeping with my intention to only sell needlepoint products that I use myself, I am listing these scissors.
My husband appropriated my first pair to use for something or other. I was mad. Then it occurred to me to buy some to sell here and keep one pair for myself.
These scissors are the perfect needlepoint scissors. Of course, they cut thread ends easily but they have also proved themselves ... More Info
