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 this is an undated version or a companion book to Carol Grafton's other book with a similar title. I do have a copy of the other book in stock, in paging through them I can't see any differences, except the title and cover.
Although this is a used/rare book, it is in almost new condition except for a few dog eared pages (a turned corner to mark a page).
The Alphabets included in this book are very nice, I would call them ornate or decorative rather then basic. Perhaps ... More Info

| The dust jacket text for this book is interesting. I want to quote some of it for you "Canvas work is the simplest form of embroidery and does not involve the complex stitching found in free embroidery. But it can be used to very great effect and imaginative design canmake the results most attractive."
Clearly, this book was written before the overwhelming interest in decorative and complex needlepoint stitches became the fashion.
This book was published in 1972 in the UK where ... More Info

| When I first found it, this book was a complete surprise to me, I had no idea it even existed. I had not previously seen any reference to it, anywhere.
This book is very rare.
Here something else I did not know, Elsa William used to have a syndicated newspaper column. In her introduction, Mrs. Williams says that "the pages for this book are my selections from the syndicated columns I have written during the past several years"
This book is, as the dust jacket flaps claim "a treasure ... More Info

| The subtitle of this book is: Develop and perfect your stitching skills with over 20 step-by-step projects featuring traditional and innovative designs on canvas.
The cover of this book is interesting for an interesting reason. This book was published in 1991, most instruction books then used and show wool yarns mostly or exclusively.
This book's cover has skeins of both wool and cotton floss. That is a good sign, in my opinion.
Quoting from the back cover

| This is a handsome book illustrated with the Special Needlework Collection from the Winterthur Museum.
This is not a needlepoint project book, it will not teach you how to stitch but it is the history of American Needlework with some fine pictures of early work.
To quote from the dust jacket " This is the story of early American women as they told it in their needlework." Well said.
From the back cover: " Plain & Fancy is not only a comprehensive survey of American needlework forms ... More Info

| The 2000 letters in this volume comprise a useful and versatile resource. Selected from late 19th & early 20th century sources, some of them rare and out of print.
The letters make 79 complete alphabets in an array of styles.
These will be useful to Needlepointers, Cross-Stitchers, Embroiderers & Ribbon Embroiders plus Punch-Needle people. The list is long.

| When I ordered this, I assumed it was a book of varied needlepoint stitches. I was surprised when it arrived. The subtitle for this books is:
101 Exciting Designs in Bargello, Quickpoint, Grospoint, and other repeat patterns.
Interesting combination, not just the usual.
This book is" Lisabeth Perrone's own workbook", she shares the designs, colors and technique of an expert stitcher" (from the dust jacket). Every pattern is shown in a full color photograph, a B & W or color ... More Info

| This is a completely unique needlepoint book and I challenge anyone to find a copy of it anywhere else.
It is written and self-published by The American Needlepoint Guild's Ridge Needlepointers Chapter in 1983.
It is written by Virginia Dubenetzky and edited by The Rev. Robert E. Blackburn (Father B's Book).
This book is very self-published. It did not come with any sort of binding, just glued together pages. I tried a heavy paper notebook but the text was too thick so I have put it ... More Info

| I should not admit this (but here I go). The name Drysdale reminds me of the old TV show "The Beverly Hillbillies". The banker and neighbor was Mr Drysdale with his hysterical wife, Mrs. Drysdale.
With deepest apologies to Rosemary Drysdale.
Pulled work has it roots in English and Danish embroidery. Pulled Work is the pulling of threads stitched so tight that the ground material, canvas or linen, come together to form artistic holes in your design.

| Another wonderful needlepoint book by B. Bossuck, the author of 97 Alphabets for Needlepoint and co-author of Picture Your Dog in Needlework.
This book surprised me. I was expecting a stitch book but it is not. I should have noticed the title says "Designs" not Stitches.
The book is full of needlepoint (also completely adaptable to cross-stitch) design motifs. There are hundreds of borders, corner treatments and over all graphic design ideas in here, indeed 1001.
They are fanciful, ... More Info

| This is the third copy of this book I have ordered, it is the only one that has been in any way good enough to sell here. This book is barely in good condition. The official book sellers term for it would be "acceptable". of course, it was sold to me as "good".
I am listing it in this condition because it is an fairly unique book. I know of no other book on the subject of Looped and Knotted stitches. Most books have a page or two about these stitches, if that.

Mary Kay Davis is the co-author of America's Great Quilt Designs and More Needlepoint from Americas Great Quilt Designs. Both of those books are listed for sale here (or will be when I do them next, I already sold her Quilt book once).

| This is another of the amazing English needlepoint books. Canvas Work or Canvas Embroidery is the more common name for needlepoint in England. There is often some confusion with the titles of these interesting books in the USA.
This book has some very modern, very innovative mixed stitch and mixed media Needlepoint stitches, designs and ideas. Some of the designs are very "regular" and handsome and some of them remind me of these wildly expensive textile works of art you sometimes ... More Info

The bottom subtitle is: Basics, Tools and Accessories, Yarns & Threads, Needles, Measurements, Bargello, Finishing Touches, Alphabets.
This book does seem complete. I like stitch books and find them useful, you never know what you are going to find in the way of stitches inside. The book is the perfect size & shape ... More Info

| I have become a devotee of these excellent books by Mary Rhodes. I consider her to be one of the best of the "Master Teachers" and an authorities on Needlepoint.
This book emphasizes the creative aspects of needlepoint. The chapters on design and color & texture are extraordinary. There are ideas and variations here I have never seen before. Mary Rhodes books are most often for the expert or advanced stitcher and this is not exception.
The book is full of pictures, many of them full ... More Info

| The word "Comprehensive" is used often to descibe books that are not really comprehensive but this book is and then some. I would recommend this book to beginners who are serious about learning needlepoint.
As well as practical needlepoint instruction and encyclopedic information the authors highlight examples of Needlepoint from places as diverse as Gracie mansion, home of New York's Mayor, Sturbridge Village in Massachusetts, Boscobel on the Hudson, Mount Vernon, Williamsburg, Virginia ... More Info

| This book is an oddity. I thought about not listing it but then I thought I should. This may be the worst Needlepoint Reference book I have ever seen and that is saying something.
The graphs are simplistic and the B & W photos of the stitches stitched are incomprehensible. It is even hard to see what the fully stitched designs are in the small B & W pictures of them, They look like they were stitched by someone who has no control over tension and does not correct any errors as she ...

| At first I thought this was a book of needlepoint designs featuring Walt Disney wonderful characters, it is and it isn't.
The book does feature full size, in varying sizes, patterns to stitch Disney cartoon characters but they idea is you place them in whatever designs or settings you want. The designs the book does offer are basic, at best.
These are not Needlepoint Graphs , they are line drawings of the characters you can copy to canvas and stitch. The only directions are simple ... More Info

| This is an interesting variation on the usual needlepoint reference book. It does not have a collection of stitches. It does not show interesting or unusual techniques. It is a book of patterns. Exactly as the title says.
There are 78 very interesting patterns in here, some expected and some unusual. Each pattern is shown in a good size full color picture of the stitched result of the patterns with a minimum of 4 repeats of each pattern and usually more.
Of course there are very ... More Info

At first I thought this was a design book but it really is not. it does have simple designs for a novice needlepoibnter to stitch but the emphasis here is the instruction. You might think the designs in a beginner's book are simplistic. They are not, there are some very nice designs in here.
