Maggie Lane is a very well known name in Needlepoint. As I list these books for sale I see her name over and over again, In thank you's, acknowledgments, and for creating graphs. Needlepoint BY Design has 24 Variations on Chinese Design adapted for Needlepoint. This is another classic NP book that is becoming hard to find The graphs and directions in this book and very detailed and clear. I think a slightly advanced beginner could understand and use these directions. They would be excellent f...
This is the second volume of well-known needlepoint Designer and Teacher Maggie Lane's series on Chinese influenced design for Needlepoint. The first book was Needlepoint By Design (which I also just happen to have here as well, imagine that) Mrs. Lane was raised in China and grew up surrounded by wonderful design. I am a huge fan of Chinese and Japanese Design myself so it is hard to be impartial but I do think the designs and patterns in this book are wonderful. In addition, there is a 17 pa...
From Pajamas and Chocolate's wonderful Colorful Animals series comes this handsome, alert German Shepherd needlepoint ornament.
He is very well done, the design uses 16 colors.
The design area measures 4 inches across. The entire canvas is 7.75 X 8 inches. It is 18 mesh.
I have assembled this kit using DMC and Anchor #8 size Perle Cotton Floss.
#8 floss is wonderful for stitching 18 or smaller mesh canvas. It slides through with no pulling and little knotting.
I usually suggest stitching wi...

The Cat uses 14 colors not including the background.
I have assembled this kit using DMC and Anchor #8 size Perle...
I was glad to find a Daylight folding lamp at a reasonable price. The only great stitching lights with this folding convenient designs that I knew of were the Ott Lights, which are fairly expensive.
This handy lamp is made by Daylightcompany.com. On the front of the box it says Natural Daylight13 Color Matching Tube (75W equivalent)
Interesting, they are made in New Holland, PA which is very near to me here in Lancaster. There is some text on the side of the box in French, German and Italian...
Sandy's Finishing Touches is subtitled A Step-By-Step Guide To Finishing Needlework. I thought this might be a great book to have for sale here, since I know I know almost nothing about finishing off the needlepoint I stitch, beyond blocking it. It seems to me there are less places to have good needlework finished then there used to be, as our LNS close, one by one. I used to have beautiful finishing done by a store near where I live, but the owners retired (go figure). The new store I took my...
These are gorgeous letters to use as a lavish alphabet or as monograms. The Victorians did everything a little (or a lot) over the top and these fit that description. By the noted Victorian-era designer Karl Klimsch who excelled in the use of clean lines, shading and 3 dimensional effects. His 2 letter monograms were original published in Germany in 1869.These handsome monograms are easily re-produced, the size is easily changed with a copier or scanner. They are all copy-right free. This is...
There has been an amazing response to my article on B. Borssuck's Alphabet amp; Monogram books in Needlepoint Now magazine.
Almost all the orders I recieved were for both books.
I am completely sold out of 97 Alphabets for Needlepoint and can't find any more copies at any kind of reasonable price (as in under $80.00 my cost). This has happened to me before, I buy so many copies of a particular out-of-print book that I create the rarity and the prices skyrocket.
I do have a number of copie...
The Royal School of Needlework books are some of the best needlepoint amp; needlework books out there. This new one is GOLDWORK by Helen McCook. I like this, it is written on the back of this (and every) book. The Royal School of Needlework teaches Hand Embroidery to the highest standard, developing techniques in new and innovative ways. 'I don't think it could be said better then that. Please take the use of *embroidery* as an all encompassing term. In the UK they often call needlepoint Canv...
I snagged a copy of this for myself. Long amp; Short Embroidery is absolutely beautiful (as is L amp; S Needlepoint). It is used in Glorafilia designs and is is widely mentioned but there are scant or non complete directions for how to do it right. The subtitle to Long amp; Short Embroidery is A Collection of Flowers. Each project or example (there are too many to do them all) has a close up stitched picture of the flower or flowers. Then a template drawing. The thread Key is done using DMC amp...
The cover picture for this book is wonderful, a bouquet of 14 very fine beaded flowers. The subtitle is; Creating Flowers with Beads amp; Threads. Quoting from the back cover , edited and paraphrased. Making Flowers with tiny glass beads and thread, weaving these elements together with off-loom stitches to make 3 dimensional flowers, leaves, and garden creatures. More from the back cover Create with a variety of stitches including brick, peyote, netting, herringbone amp; right-angle weave. B...
This is one of my favorite Bargello Needlepoint reference books. I have a few that I refer to constantly and this is one of them.
This is the USA edition of another fine Batsford English Needlework book, Florentine Canvaswork. This American edition, published the same year, is the exact same book with a different title. Dorothy Phelan's wonderful book is divided into 2 distinct parts. The first part is a study of the history and characteristics of this needle art and a comprehensive guide to...
The artist who created this wonderful Green (and white) Hydrangea canvas lives on Cape Cod. They grow wonderful hydrangeas there, sometimes pink but most often blue or the natural color, this green/white. I often forget things so I went to google and looked up what you have to do to get a blue Hydrangea. If it is white to begin with (as most are). You have to add Aluminum Sulfate to the soil. Or do nothing and see what colors grows. I planted 3 tree form Hydrangeas, this color, last spring in...

Before you react to this book's title, while it is an embroidery book, there is very little here that can't be used for needlepoint. I have not ever seen a book about stitching faces or portraits before. I know I have seen a number of canvases with faces included in the design lately so I thought this book was worth a look. The subtitle is: Ideas, Inspiration and Techniques Jan Messant is a well-known name in embroidery. She is a teacher of Embroidery As An Art Form and a member of the Embroid...
This wonderful book has become one of the biggest sellers I have. Unfortunately, Pat Mazu has had to raise the price of her book. She says the increasing cost of the printing charges have made this necessary. I first heard about this book at the same place I learn so much about Needlepoint amp; new needlework things (be they books or tools or designs or stitches). Of course I mean Jane's Chilly Hollow Needlepoint Adventure Blog. Jane mentioned a new needlework finishing book. Since there are...
Of course, Laurel Burch's cats had to get in on the craze for Selfie photos. These 2 appear to be in love, going by the hearts floating around. The question is, Are They in Love with Each Other or With Themselves? This charming canvas has the 2 cats on a gold metallic background. It uses 10 colors. The design area measures 5 X 7 inches. The entire canvas is 9.5 X 11.5 inches, it is 18 mesh. You know, the 5 X 7 inch size gives me an idea, you could stitch this and them self-frame it in a sta...
This is an amazing sampler of 5 Dogs or call it a collage or whatever you want. It has a lot of details and uses a heft 18 colors plus lots of Gold Metallic. This is a larger canvas, the design area is 14 X 11 inches. The entire canvas measures 18 X 15 inches. It is 18 mesh mono canvas. This canvas does not include any threads or yarn.
Most NewNeedlepoint.com canvases have carefully taped edges. I use Professional Artists Tape. It sticks very well. Each canvas includes a correct size tapes...
