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.

The subtitle on the cover of this book says " Exquisite Needlepoint Stitches Made Simple."

It is my understanding that this book and it's sequel have been out of print for a long time. It was very recently re-issued and I thought it might be a very valuable Needlepoint Stitch book so I ordered one of each, despite it's high price.

In the Introduction the author says that this book is the result of 15 years of teaching needlepoint. The author goes on to say that in the beginning it was all Continental (tent) stitch and Basketweave.

Then it went to samplers using 12-25 stitches. She goes on to say that finally her students wanted to stitch hand painted canvases with some of the sampler stitches they learned. That is how *Canvas Embellishment* was born (her words).

She explains Canvas Embellishment as using stitches & fibers to add texture, depth and life to a canvas.

You can always tell when you reading an expert's words and this struck me as just that. Plus it was very interesting to me since I came to Needlepoint at the end of what she calls "the sampler period".

The Table of Contents is simple:
Clothing
Plants
Buildings & Architecture
Decorative Stitches, Trims & Accents
Backgrounds

By "clothing: she means "imitate actual fabric in clothing with different textures & patterns".

In the Plants chapter she specializes in stitches that will be perfect (or better) for flowers, leaves, trees, grass, fruits & vegetables.

Buildings etc. is using fubers & textures to create structures on canvas.

The rest of the chapters are self-explainatory.

I am impressed with this book. it is clearly self published by Linda Corirossi. I can't find a publication date or a ISBN number. Each page is printed on one side of the page. The book has 93 pages and a bibliography.

The book is spiral bound in paper. it is large size but very simple in appearance (one could say "tasteful".

This book has floored me, I think I need a copy of it myself.




Selling New Books is very different from selling my used, hard-to-find or rare books. New books have a set retail price and I have to compete in the “marketplace”.

NewNeedlepoint.com will be charging the full retail price for these fine new books but I will mail them for free. Please consider the Free Shipping as a Discount.

Your House in Needlepoint by Susan Higgenson
 
I have become a fan of Susan Higgenson Needlepoint books. I kept her excellent small needlepoint stitch book from my very first order of books. It is comprehensive and the perfect size to slip into a tote bag. I have lost count of how many copies of this book I have sold here, so many that they are getting very hard to get and much more expensive. I apologize for the price increase, it reflects what I am paying for this book, now. The author, an experienced author & needlepoint ... More Info

Needlework Masterpieces from Winterthur by Hollis Greer Minor
 
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 ... More Info

Although this book's focus is finishing and mounting finshed needlepoint projects, it also has 40 original needlepoint designs. Covered are blocking, lining, mitering corners etc. There is complete information on how to make trims of braid, cord. fringes and tassels. The book has many pictures illustrating these techniques. A useful book for any needlepointer. This book, too, is another I sell almost as soon as I list it. This is a hard cover book, it was published by Thomas Y. ... More Info
