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.

Many books use the word "Masterpieces" in their titles, few deserve it. Some do however and this is one of them. This is a collection of excellent needleworks from the Winterthur Musuem. This museum is in Delaware and has the world's finest collection of decorative artefacts (copied that phrase from the dust jacket, love those words).

The museum specializes in things made or used between 1640 and 1860 in what is now the United States of America.

There are 30 needlepoint projects in this fine book including one Bargello Needlepoint. The back of the book has an assortment of Christmas Themed designs.

All the pictures in this book are full color, the graphs are all full color as well. Each design has some background information and stitching instructions as well as a thread color guide with amounts needed.

These are absolutely beautiful designs in a very beautiful book. Check out the fruits beginning on page 86 or the incredible *lunch box size* needlepoint purse beginning on page 58.

Needlework Masterpieces from Winterthur is a large size glossy cover paperbound book. it was published by David & Charles in England in 2001. it has 127 pages. I listed it a wile ago and it sold right away, I have not re-listed it until now, no idea why I delayed.

Needlework Masterpieces from Winterthur is in excellent condition. The paper cover is fairly scratched from wear but there are no tears or bends. The book inside is like new.

The picture below is of the same design done in different colorways.

The Encyclopedia of Canvas Embroidery Stitches by Katharine Ireys
 
This is a popular book, here on NewNeedlepoint.com. Although published in 1972 I find it an easy to follow book. The stitches are well explained. Each time I have to replace it it gets harder to find. This is a wonderful needlepoint reference book featuring 170 stitch patterns. The subtitle calls it "the most complete collection ever published" I will not argue with that claim. The stitches are clearly and carefully diagrammed, for many of them multiple graphs are used to show how ... More Info

Tassel Making by Anna Crutchley
 
I love the look of lush tassels on a needlepoint pillow. It always bothered me that I could not have them match my design and colors exactly and that they cost too much. I had to wait a long time for this book on how to make tassels. it was backordered forever but finally, here it is. The subtitle of this book is "Revealing the Secrets of how to make the world's most gorgeous fabric decorations" That works for me. This is a gorgeous book, all the pictures are full color and the ... More Info

A Potpourri of Pattern by Ann Strite-Kurz
 
Another interesting Needlework book by Ann Strite-Kurz, the author of Creative Canvas Couching (what a surprise, I also have that here for sale), The Heart of Blackwork, Backgrounds, The Finishing Touch (which 2 I do not have here..yet). The subtitle of this book is: A Collection of Original Open Patterns for Canvas and Linen Use. That pretty much says it all. Her forword says " The main purpose of this book is to provide readers with some innovative ideas for stitch treatments" ... More Info
