Newneedlepoint.com is, and I suppose always will be, about my love of Needlepoint. I began my web store with the idea that I would sell the kind of Needlepoint I love to stitch.

I love Color, I admire good design. My goal is to sell the best Needlepoint Designs I can make or buy.

I have just begun to list the first of our own Stitch Painted Original Design Needlepoint Canvases.

I also have an extensive selection of wonderful Hand Painted Needlepoint Canvases by some of today’s fine Needlepoint Designers including Danji Designs, Laurel Burch and Eileen Best.

There are my own Stitch Drawn Lines designs, many of them now Hand Painted in full color.

The Bargello category is open with a few Bargello and Florentine Embroidery Bargello designs. I am adding new patterns & designs as fast as I can stitch them.

NewNeedlepoint.com has added a Rare & Hard-To-Find Needlepoint & Bargello Book Category. I have put together a group of unusual and interesting books.

I have picked the best condition books I could find, which was not as easy as you might think.

I am still focusing on Beginner and Novice Needlepointers with special Kits aimed at entry level stitchers. I have written a “Beginners Manual” which has all the things I wish someone told me when I was just starting out as well as Basic Needlepoint Instruction.

NewNeedlepoint.com has an extensive line 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.

Claire Sanchez's excellent Tote and Shoulder Bags are stylish and fashionable. The large Tote Bags with Shoulder Length Straps and her slightly smaller Shoulder Bags never look like the sturdy and practical totes they are. The Shoulder Bags also make perfect everyday bags.

There is also my small Needlepoint Tools Category, I don’t sell anything I don’t use myself. That is the best recommendation I can make. That is where you will find DMC & Kreinik Color Cards, as well.

I have made extensive changes, I want to keep NewNeedlepoint.com vital & thriving. 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. I will include the web site addresses of all my favorite basic needlepoint instruction sites.

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

Larger needlepoint canvases will be rolled for shipping, smaller canvases will be shipped flat. I do not offer finishing services.
