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.

These are wonderful cats. The Needlepoint Designs are by Jill Leman from paintings by Martin Leman, her father. Jill Leman is an extraordinary needlepointer.

There is a close up of one of the stitched cats on the title page. The stitching is Tent Stitch and Basketweave Stitch (which still have their places in the needlepoint world, it is not all decorative stitches...yet).

Her stitching is perfect, her tension is perfect.

The book has a Before You Start Chapter. Then it goes into the designs, there are 11 original designs in the book plus a great needlepoint cross stitch sampler with cats as the last project.

Each design is shown as the painting by Martin Leman and the finished stitched canvas. There are complete directions and yarn amounts listed. It would be easy to use floss instead.

Each cat's layout is shown either in a line drawing for transfer or with a full color graph. There are 4 cat designs with line drawing and 9 with graphs.

OK, I love this book but as you may know, I love cats.

This is a glossy hardcover book with 56 pages. It was published by Guild Publishing, a division of Pelham Books in 1990.
Martin Leman's Needlepoint Cats is in very good condition. It does not have a dust jacket, I am not sure it ever had one.

It is almost gift quality, the glossy cover is just a little scratched and beat at the corners, otherwise it is excellent.
