"Are We There Yet" Needlepoint Kit on NewNeedlepoint.com

NewNeedlepoint.com is a labor of love. I began my web store with the idea that I would build the kind of Needlepoint Web Store where I would like to shop.
I love color and I admire good design. My goal is to sell the best Needlepoint Designs, Books and Accessories I can.
I have a extensive selection of wonderful Hand Painted Needlepoint Canvases & Kits by some of today’s fine Needlepoint Designers including Danji Design, Laurel Burch, Eileen Best and many more.
NewNeedlepoint.com has a large collection of Needlepoint & Bargello Needlepoint Books. Most of the books are Hard-To-Find used books, some are quite Rare. Some of the books are maybe not so rare but are classic Needlepoint or Bargello Needlepoint Design or Reference Books.
I have picked out the best condition Books I could find, which is not as easy as you might think.
NewNeedlepoint has two new categories: NEW Needlepoint Books & NEW Bargello Books. These are direct from the publisher or distributor current Needlepoint or Bargello Needlepoint titles by some of today's well-known authors.
There are more to come.
NewNeedlepoint.com specializes in Beginner & Novice Needlepoint Kits and Books. The beginner level Needlepoint Kits are scattered everywhere in my listings as well as having their own category.
The Beginner Books do not…yet…have their own category.
NewNeedlepoint.com has an extensive selection of the excellent Patt & Lee Glicee’ Needlepoint Designs. They are all available as canvas alone plus most are also for sale assembled as a kit.
There is also my small Needlepoint Tools Category. I don’t sell anything I am not familiar with, no Drop Ship here. This is where you will find Mighty Bright lamps, Laying tools, quality Gingher Scissors, DMC or Kreinik Color Cards and more.
NewNeedlepoint.com continues to change as I work to make it as good as it can be. I hope you like what you see.

When Patt sent me her wonderful 2 penguins needlepoint canvas, I liked it but I thought it needed something. I thought about it, the Father and Son or Daughter out in the middle of seemingly nowhere and it came to me "Are We There Yet". I have also "jazzed" up the colors some.

This canvas is suitable for a beginner to stitch, using the simplest of the possible stitches. it could also be stitched by a more advanced needlepointer with the additional of some more complex decorative stitches.

One summer when our son was 9 we went on a road trip to New Mexico from Boston. We were not out of Massachusetts yet when my son started "are we there yet?". He kept it up for the entire trip.

The "Are We There Yet?" Needlepoint canvas is suitable for beginners or more experienced stitchers who will find this design adapts easily for a variety of wonderful decorative stitches.

The design area is 7 inches X 8.75 inches. The entire canvas is 11 X 13 inches, it is 16 mesh.

I have assembled this kit using Paternayan 100% Persian Needlepoint Wool. I love the rich colors of the Paternayan Wools and find it remarkably easy to strand. This canvas should be stitched with 2 strands.

I have changed the colors a bit, I brightened them, the border is now coral and medium purple and the background is Baltic Blue. I think these small changes will make a difference. I have also added more grays for the penguins bodies. so they won't be all black.

This needlepoint canvas is suitable for beginners. A color placement stitch guide comes with it plus it will include detailed and complete directions as well as my pretty good basic needlepoint instruction booklet.

Experienced stitchers should feel free to ignore them.

All NewNeedlepoint canvases have folded and machine hemmed edges or carefully taped canvases edges. I prefer to hem them when there is enough extra canvas to permit it.

Each kit includes the correct size needle for this canvas.

The amounts of floss or yarn shown in the pictures are for color only, the actual amounts sent may vary from what is shown. The colors will not vary.

Needlepoint thread coverage is not an exact science. I try to make sure there is plenty to finish each canvas with some to spare. If you run short e-mail me and I will send you more at no extra cost.

Remember to stitch 2-3 additional lines all around the completed canvas for finishing.

For free Needlepoint Instruction and a catalog of the most popular stitches and how to do them, I like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Needlepoint

Large needlepoint canvases will be rolled and sent in a mailing tube, smaller canvases will be sent flat in a padded envelope. I do not offer finishing services.
