Geometric Designs in Needlepoint Book on NewNeedlepoint.com

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.

Geometric Designs in Needlepoint by Mary Jaene Edmonds

Price: $26.00

* Quantity:

* = Required Field

An unusual book and one I had not heard of before I began searching for these books. It focuses on geometric needlepoint designs, mostly with just one or two colors, occasionally three colors. The designs use stitch and texture to create their effect and they sure do.

I sell this book almost as soon as I list it, each time. Then I have to find another. It is a popular book. It is becoming harder to get each time I re-order.

There are 20 designs in this book, not only are all the pictures in color but so are the graphs, which is wonderful. Mrs Edmonds, who I had not heard of before, is a self-taught needlepointer (like me and many of you) who came up with a "graphed system so simple it can be followed by even a novice". The book's dust jacket says she did this after being disappointed with a "printed needlepoint design she had bought". I think we all know that feeling.

After looking at her interesting designs and her graphs, I agree, these graphs can easily be stitched. They would allow a relative novice (not for an absolutle beginner, however) to work them or give a more advanced stitcher an interesting project.

Geometric Designs in Needlepoint continues to be a popular book. This copy is in Very Good condition. The dust jacket's edges are somewhat beaten up but there are no tears.

The book inside also very good, although very slightly yellowed by age. The spine is tight.

This book is published by Van Norstrand Reinhold, who I am beginning to discover publishes quite a few of the nice books on these subjects, in 1976.

DMC Travel Roll

The official name of this is Needlework On-The-Go Travel Roll. This clever storage roll is a great help when carting your needlepoint projects in progress around with you. This is a great gift for any stitcher you know, we all hate untangling threads. I keep each needlepoint canvas I am working on in a separate Claire Sanchez tote bag (notice how neatly I inserted a plug for the bags?). Inside the bag the floss or the yarn becomes tangled, no matter how carefully I sort, smooth & knot ... More Info

4 Way Bargello: Revised Edition by Dorothy Kaestner

Dorothy Kaestner's wonderful book, 4 Way Bargello. I have a copy of this book myself and have sold so many here I now buy them in multiples, not 1 at a time. Although they are getting harder to find, or to find in a reasonable condition. I recently ordered 2 and both arrived full of foxing. Not good. Needless to say, I got a refund. This is, of course, a rare book. It is getting harder to find more each time I sell one. This copy of 4 Way Bargello is signed by Dorothy ... More Info
