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.

| Lucinda Ganderton is the author of the classic stitch book Stitch Sampler. Stitch Sampler sold well here on NewNeedlepoint as a hard to find book and now it has been re-issued in a new edition (which I list here).
Needlecraft: Skills & Techniques is part of the Practical Home Handbook series.
Quoting from the back cover;
"Over 500 instructional illustrations-both step by step to show you how and glorious inspirational galleries of the best current & traditional Pieces

I love books, I am a reader and while I appreciate the ease with which I download & read books on my iPad, I still love the look and feel of real books.
Quoting from the back cover:
"Create precious embroidered books using all the latest fabrics and methods"
"This beautiful book contains over 30 innovative projects and techniques"
"Covers the basics of book construction as well as exquisite embellishment ideas"

| 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

| I have this wonderful book back in stock, for immediate delivery (until I sell out again)
Recently, we have seen the publication of several new books, the first in proposed series of Needlework books. After a few years of almost no new books on this/these subject(s), this is great.
Stacey Tombros & Elaine Oliverio, in Association with Little Shop Canvas Company have just published this new stitch book, Stitch: Landscape.
The list of landscape based stitches on the cover of the book ... More Info

| Subtitled:
A Collection of Fruits, Flowers and Insects for Contemporary Raised Embroidery.
This is another book by Sally Milner Publishing's excellent Milner Craft Series books from Australia.
Stumpwork Embroidery is different from Dimensional Emjbroidery, it is "more raised" and much lusher (if that makes any sense to you)>
Quoted from the back cover:
"Stumpwork is a style of raised and padded embroidery that has it's origins in the seventeenth century. It incorporates a charming ... More Info

| I have seen Hardanger Embroider mentioned and seen book cover pictures of it but never really have understood what it is. We are going to learn this together as I review this book.
The cover photo is spectacular, if this is Hardanger I am excited already.
There is no text on the back cover of the book, stopping me in my tracks, so to speak. This is from the first page.
"The decoration of the plain woven fabric has always been a fascination to man. One of the earliest techniques was ... More Info

| The PunchNeedle work on the cover of this book is just wonderful. The textures and the 3 dimensional quality of it. I really am impressed.
This is another great book from Sally Milner Publishing's Milner Craft Series from Australia.
To, as usual, quote the back cover of this book:
" This book is intended for the wider audience and seeks to encourage new and more experienced embroiderers to enjoy the dimensional, colorful and exciting pieces that can be created by embroidering with ... More Info

| I was not exactly sure what Mountmellic Embroidery was until I began selling these wonderful needlework books. I had heard the name but it sounded so exotic and difficult to me.
I was wrong, Mountmellick Embroidery is basically white on white embroidery using contrasting textures to create beautoful and natural designs.
Also from the back cover but an exact quote instead of my paraphrasing above " 13 different stitches are demonstrated through clear step-by-step photographs. Pat Trot ... More Info

In paging through this handsome book I am impressed. All the pictures, even the stitch pictures, are in full color. The designs are traditional but modern, no stogy "old lady embroidery" here and her color use is ... More Info

| I like Beginner's books. I think that they make the sometimes confusing or overwhelming world of Needlework more accessible and easier to learn.
Then again, this "beginners" book is not really for needlework beginners. The Introduction to Drawn Thread Embroider is a moderate t very advanced stitcher's book.
To quote the back cover (as usual) "In this beautiful and inspiring book, Patricia Bage uses clear step-by step instructions, photographs and diagrams to explain how to create ... More Info

| Like the other fine books in this popular and well known A-Z needlecraft book series, this books subtitle is:

The cover goes to state "The ultimate resource for beginning and experienced needleworkers. Over 500 step-by-step photos and fabulous designs from the world's best embroiders".
Once again, this is a complete and comprehensive book. Beginning with some of the history of Crewel Embroidery, which continues throughout the book, ... More Info

| When I ordered this book, I did not realize that the "ornaments" on the cover's embroidery were can pop top rings. I have to admit I was a bit taken back when I saw the book. Still, this might be an interesting book.

"Recycle everyday items to create beautiful and unique textile pieces, from bags, bowls and vessels to simple wall hangings"
"packed with ideas for plundering a range f salvaged materials, from spare fibers, fabrics and embroidery to ... More Info

| Another basic and very helpful book from The National NeedleArts Association's Needlecraft Resource Library. This is the Revised Edition.
It is really a large booklet, packed with the essential things you need to know to begin Embroidery or Cross Stitch.
The inside back cover of the books says "This book is intended to get you started enjoying embroidery."
I think that says it all. This is an absolute beginner's book and very accessible and easy to understand for someone who has not ... More Info

| This is a nice book, there are many, many pictures showing you the how to do of Japanese Embroidery step by step. Literally step by step in good size pictures.
All the pictures are in color.
The book takes you through the very first steps all the way to finishing. My only complaint (and it is a small one) is that there is a lot of Julia D Gray in this, lots of pictures of her hands (I would have polished my nails for the pictures)

| This is a handsome book from the Milner Craft Series, published by Sally Milner in Australia. These are always very fine books but the cover picture on this one is really something. I will post a close-up of it further down in the listing.

| 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 but I do not think it is right for "real"beginners. I suggest this book for mid-level to advanced stitchers.

| 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
