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.

| A brand new, just issued book by June McKnight one of the best known names in needlepoint books.
This book is different in other ways as well. The cover is heavier glossy paperboard, gone is the regular paper cover with the clear plastic overlay (which attracted dust like nothing I have ever seen).
Obviously, the book is about embellishment of a shiny nature. Ms. McKnight says, in a beginner preface, that one of the fun elemets of this is the "hunting & gathering" of beads, baubles and ... More Info

Counted thread work is suitable to Needlepoint, Embroidery and Cross Stitch fabrics. I like the freedom Counted Thread gives you in terms of design, details & color.

| Following the amazing success of Sandy Arthur's first Shapes of Needlepoint Part 1 (or Series 1, as I should have been calling it) is Part 2 (series 2).
This book covers Diamonds, Hearts, Octagons & Stars. This book has just been released and I have copies of it in stock.

| I used to carry this book here on NewNeedlepoint.com but then it became unavailable from my book suppliers. I am now getting it directly from Orna Willis and I am glad to have it back in stock.
On the title page the suthor calls this book "Orna Ments". This book is a wonderful collection of small needlepoint projects, indeed Orna Ments.
The colors are excellent and the designs are unique, interesting stitches and concepts. Each project covers 6 pages. All the pictures and diagrams are ... More Info

"Amy shows you how to stitch different needlepoint Fur Ideas including 4 types of Turkey Work, various Encroached Stitches and many more techniques and stitches suitable for Man or Beast."
That is a quote from the DVD's cover, I did not make that Man or Beast joke myself, I promise.

| This is the interesting & much talked about Sharon G book
In the introduction Sharon says that this is the first in a series of books she plans to write.
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

| New Discounted Price (I have too many copies)
According to Ms McKnight, this is her 15th book. June McKnight's Needlepoint & Bargello Needlepoint books are some of the best out there, as far as I can tell.
June McKnight books are always on point to their subject and take you through what ever you need to know or learn, for what ever the books' subject is.
I know that is vague but with 15 titles out there, and all still available and in print, this is something.
I believe I stock ... More Info

| Subtitled: Technique and Inspiration for Gold Work, Painted Canvas and Shading.
This appears to be an interesting book, The painted Canvas (Needlepoint) section covers everything you need to know to achieve wonderful effects on Needlepoint Canvaas. The Gold Work section, for lack of a better way to say it, Glitters and the shading instruction is quite good. There are no actual projects, just page after page of instruction, advice and help.
There is a gallery of gorgeous pictures in the ... More Info

| This is another of the new books where I have kept one for myself. My shading skills are non-existant to negative (as in I do worse than you could imagine).
Although this book's title says it is about "Silk Shading" the techniques here are suitable and highly adaptable to Cotton Embroidery, Crewel Work or Needlepoint.
Silk Shading is aimed at beginners and is a great place to start. The books begins with materials, threads & needles. There are chapters on Techniques & How To Start. ... More Info

| The author of Long and Short Stitch Embroidery, Trish Burr is the author of this book too.
I have to tell you now,(sort of a disclaimer) that I love Pierre Redoute flowers.
This book almost seems to be a follow-up to her Long & Short Stitch book. All of the flowers here are stitching using these stitches.
There are Materials & Beginner chapters, a section oin Techniques.
Redoute's Finest Flowers has 15 pages of stitches with an emphasis on L&S stitch. There are 17 projects ... More Info

| I snagged a copy of this for myself. Long & Short Embroidery is absolutely beautiful (as is L & 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 & 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 & ... More Info

According to the author, Ms Arthur, the book is divided into 4 sections, one for each shape covered.
