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.
I love Amish quilts, I love the simplicity of the designs and their amazing use of colors and pattern. I have a few authentic Amish quilts that I not only treasure but that I sleep under as well. I think the best way to enjoy them is to use them.
I was very excited when I saw the name of this book. I think Amish Quilt patterns would translate into exceptional needlepoint designs.
There are 27 designs in this book, drawn from Amish quilts from eastern Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana and ... More Info
Although this book's focus is finishing and mounting finshed needlepoint projects, it also has 40 original needlepoint designs.

I used to sell this book as a new book but I stopped being able to get them. I don't know if these few copies I found are left over new book or excellent condition used books. Either or.
The Dover Needlework Series is a fine collections of books, this one is one I had not seen before. to quote from the back cover "This collection contains 350 unusual and striking monograms taken from a rare Viennese Album printed at the turn of the century" (1900).
The monograms shown in this book can ... More Info
I used to carry this book here on NewNeedlepoint.com but then it became unavailable from my book suppliers. I am now getting it directly from Orna Willis and I am glad to have it back in stock.
