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.

Color & Human Response by Faber Birren
 
Faber Birren's other book, Principles of Color, has been a surprising success here on NewNeedlepoint.com. In that listing I describe it as a basic book on Color Theory and more. This book was written later then Principles of Color. The sub-title for Color & Human Response is:" Aspects of Light and Color Bearing on the Reactions of Living Things and the Welfare of Human Beings". Well, that is quite a sub-title. To quote the back cover of the book " Faber Birren pioneered in the field ... More Info

Colorful World by Amandine Guisez Galliienne
 
I do not see these books before I order them, wholesale, and have only the sketchiest of descriptions. Sometimes the book is spot-on and sometimes I am surprised (or dismayed). This book on color belongs in the Surprised group. This is not a color theory book. It has no instructions on how to use color or correct color mistakes. What is does have is 145 pages of absolutely gorgeous pictures of color. All color, how it is used, lived with and how it can attract or amaze you. The ... More Info

The Principles of Color by Faber Birren
 
The cover attracted me to this book. It shows the same graphic done on 4 colorways. This clearly illustrates the effect color can and does have on design. The subtitle is : A Review of Past Tradition and Modern Theories. To quote the back cover (always a good resource) "This is an essential basic book on color, written by the best-known colorist of our times, for beginners seeking a through grounding in the comprehension and solution of color problems and for mature artists and ...

Color and Fiber by Patricia Lambert, Barbara S
 
This is a new book but the dust jacket is "the worse for wear", it also has a 1.5 inch rip on the back which I have taped up. I bought it planning to add it to my regular New Needlepoint Books category, I had one other color theory book listed there at that time but I never did get it listed before our last move. It was a bad move, overall. The movers destroyed some treasured furniture and a number of other things. They also tossed the boxes around and piled them up with no attention ... More Info

Color Choices by Stephan Quiller
 
The subtitle on this book is "Making Color Sense Out Of Color Theory".It looks like an excellent book. On the back cover is a painting of the author's , in this piece he demonstrates what can be done using the Triadic Color Scheme. The book is bases on something the author calls the *Quiller Wheel*. It is his precise guide to planning Harmonious color relationships. The book also has a large full color fold out of the Quiller Wheel. This appears to be a fascinating book about how ... More Info

Color on Color by Janet Haigh
 
*Elegant Designs to Stitch*. According to the author this is an Embroidery book but it does seem to be much more then that. This book has all kinds of Needlework as well as Embroidery. There is Bargello Needlepoint, Applique, Piecing, Pattern Darning (one I never heard of before), Beading & more. Color on Color is from Anchor's Simply Stitched Series and it looks terrific. The theme in this book is color. How it used, how it combines and the effects you can get. Many of the designs ... More Info

ColorWorks: The Crafters Guide to Color by Deb Menz
 
Now, I know this is not a needlepoint or a Bargello book but color is such an important part of how a stitched needlepoint project looks I thought I should include this book in my lists. Color affects us and colors effect each others when used together. Whether you are designing your own needlepoint project, bargello needlepoint project or just doing some color switching to a painted canvas, the colors matter. I do dislike the word "craft" used to describe needlepoint. I think of it and ... More Info
