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.

Maggie Lane is a very well known name in Needlepoint. As I list these books for sale I see her name over & 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 book that is becoming hard to find

The graphs and directions in this book and very detailed and clear. According to the dust jacket, even a beginner could stitch these designs and I think that is true.

The book is mostly done in black & white with 2 sections of full colors pictures, each design is represented in a color picture.

The chapters give you a complete picture of the book. Introduction, materials, stitches, starting to work, working and finishing plus notes on color.

Maggie Lane was born in China to Missionary parents. They returned to the USA just before Pearl Harbor. She has brought her love of Chinese desing to this book, the designs really are good and not run-of-the mill.

Here's an interesting bit of biographical info, Mrs lane is married to a New York State Supreme Court Judge.

It was published in 1979 by Charles Scribner's Sons in New York

Needlepoint by Design is in very good condition. The dust jacket is worn and has bends and tears, which I have taped up but the book inside is very good. The only flaw I can find is that the spine is not as tight as I might like it. There are no loose or missing pages but it is not as good as it should be.
