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 have lost count of how many copies of this book I have sold here in the past years, It has become a very hard to find book. Even harder to find in good condition.

Mary Rhodes writes very interesting Needlepoint books for the more experienced stitcher. I have a copy of her Dictionary of Canvas Work Stitches for sale here and it has many wonderful and unusual stitches I have never seen anywhere else.

Mary Rhodes' modern approach to canvas work covers the striking effects achieved through the selective use of varied stitches, textures & colors in needlepoint.

The book also covers design sources, adaptations and materials. The book is clear, concise and full of pictures, mostly B & W but very detailed.

This is for a more experienced or advanced stitcher.

It is a hardcover book published by B.T. Batsford Limited in London and the Charles T. Branford Co. in Newton, MA. in 1970.

The book is in very good condition. The dust jacket is also very good, the edges are worn but no rips or tears.

The pages inside are very good and the spine is tight. This rare book has become very hard to find. I am glad to have found such a good copy.

Another great needlepoint book by Sherlee Lantz, the author of A Pageant of Pattern for Needlepoint Canvas. This book is subtitled "From Persian Pavilions to Op Art with One Stitch.

The Margaret Boyles Book of NeedleArt
 
A different sort of book from Margaret Boyles. Most of her books are more Needlepoint or Bargello Needlepoint reference books or workbooks. This book has designs to stitch and they cover a large range of types of needlepoint and stitchery. There are canvas work needlepoint designs, a number of Bargello Needlepoint designs, there are some designs done on linen and some frankly crewel work designs. Of course, all are done with Margaret Boyles' excellent instruction and clear graphs and ... More Info

The Secrets of Needlepoint: Techniques & Stitches by Dominique Siegler-Lathrop
 
This is a beautiful book. It is the second edition, it was originally published in France in 1997. Ms. Siegler-Lathrop, who is bi-lingual, has re-worked and translated her book for the English speaking (and reading) needlepoint community. This books suggests a unique technique for stitching needlepoint or canvas embroidery (the same thing, different names). She claims that needlepoint worked using her row-by-row technique will be "reliably perfect . Not only that, but the work ... More Info
