Working on Canvas by Margaret Rivers on NewNeedlepoint.com

NewNeedlepoint.com just had it’s 3rd birthday. I am sometimes amazed that we made it this far. I keep making changes and tweaking my web store. I want it to be the best it can be.

NewNeedlepoint.com has 2 sections. There is my extensive collection of New Needlework books. I have expanded the books categories to cover other types of stitching in addition to Needlepoint.

There are knitting & crochet books, embroidery & cross-stitch books, color use & theory books and the catch-all misc. books category.

My Rare/Used Book titles are dictated by the books my customers want and the books that I can get, in reasonable condition. It is getting difficult to find decent, salable old books. Some of the Rare Books are getting quite hard to find.

I have also expanded the Rare/Used books categories to cover other types of Needlework.

I specialize in Bargello Needlepoint books although there aren’t that many of them out there, used or new.

The other side of NewNeedlepoint.com is the Canvases & Kits I sell. I stock mostly hand painted needlepoint designs by some of today’s great Needlepoint Designers. I have a special category for the gorgeous & colorful work of Laurel Burch.

I also have a good collection of Patt & Lee’s superior Glicee’ needlepoint designs including a whole section of Patt’s Scrap Threads collection. The perfect way to use all that extra stash we all have.

I assemble the kits myself, from the threads I love to stitch with. I use Anchor & DMC Perle Cotton Floss in sizes 3, 5 & 8. Also Kreinik Metallic Braid Thread in sizes 12 & 16.

I have a small Needlework Tool collection, all of it things I use and know work well.

I want to thank all my customers for 3 great years, so far. This coming year should be as interesting as the last 3 have been.

Working On Canvas by Margaret Rivers: A Batsford CraftMasters Book

Price: $28.00

* Quantity:

* = Required Field

This book, from the Batsford Series on Canvas Work, or Needlepoint, is surprisingly unusual. right from the start, this is a book for an more experienced stitcher.

There are unusual techniques and ideas in this book and quite a bit of Bargello as well. There is ribbon work, mixed media needlepoint, etc. There are some design ideas here that are quite "painterly".

It is not a stitch reference, it is an idea and inspiration book and *inspired* is the word for it. I did not know anything about this book when I ordered it, I am glad I did.

This is a larger size hard cover book with a glossy cover, it never did have a dust jacket. The cover is somewhat worn at the edges but the inside is perfect, I don't think it has been opened much, the spine is very tight and the pages unmarked.

Working on Canvas has become harder to get and of course, more expensive in the last few years.

4 Way Bargello: Revised Edition by Dorothy Kaestner

Dorothy Kaestner's wonderful book, 4 Way Bargello. I have a copy of this book myself and have sold so many here I now buy them in multiples, not 1 at a time. Although they are getting harder to find, or to find in a reasonable condition. I recently ordered 2 and both arrived full of foxing. Not good. Needless to say, I got a refund. This is, of course, a rare book. It is getting harder to find more each time I sell one. This copy of 4 Way Bargello is signed by Dorothy ... More Info

Bargello Antics by Dorothy Kaestner

This wonderful book is both hard-to-find and rare. Each time I look for it, the price has gone up (and up) Dorothy Kaestner's Bargello Antics features 4 Way Bargello, and Mrs. Kaestner knows her stuff. Her designs are wonderful, her color use terrific. Every design is shown in full color in the color picture section of the book, taken by George F. Kaestner, who I assume is her husband. Bargello Antics is mostly about 4-way Bargello. 4 Way Bargello can be difficult to do (I have not ... More Info

The Batsford Book of Canvas Work by Mary Rhodes

Mary Rhodes is a well-known and expert English Needlepoint instructor. I have sold many copies of this Mary Rhodes book here on NewNeedlepoint.com. In fact, I have sold many copies of all Mary Rhodes needlework books. Clearly, I am a fan of Ms. Rhodes books. As I buy these books to sell here some of them are becoming harder to get and more expensive. I have sold a lot of copies of this book, in fact a surprising number. I am sorry about the rise in price, it only reflects what the book ... More Info

The Best Bargello Book by June McKnight

I think these books by June McKnight are terrific. She is a great Needlepoint Teacher and her books explain & show you exactly what she intends to, no muss, no fuss. Still, I have to take exception to her title "The Best Bargello Book". It is, indeed a very good, even a excellent Bargello Book, but the best? All my carping aside. This is larger then the usual June McKnight books but in the same basic format. She begins at the beginning, with the canvas, goes to threads, the first ... More Info
