NewNeedlepoint.com is a labor of love. I began my web store with the idea that I would build the kind of Needlepoint Web Store where I would like to shop.

I love color and I admire good design. My goal is to sell the best Needlepoint Designs, Books and Accessories I can.

I have a extensive selection of wonderful Hand Painted Needlepoint Canvases & Kits by some of today’s fine Needlepoint Designers including Danji Design, Laurel Burch, Eileen Best and many more.

NewNeedlepoint.com has a large collection of Needlepoint & Bargello Needlepoint Books. Most of the books are Hard-To-Find used books, some are quite Rare. Some of the books are maybe not so rare but are classic Needlepoint or Bargello Needlepoint Design or Reference Books.

I have picked out the best condition Books I could find, which is not as easy as you might think.

NewNeedlepoint has two new categories: NEW Needlepoint Books & NEW Bargello Books. These are direct from the publisher or distributor current Needlepoint or Bargello Needlepoint titles by some of today's well-known authors.

There are more to come.

NewNeedlepoint.com specializes in Beginner & Novice Needlepoint Kits and Books. The beginner level Needlepoint Kits are scattered everywhere in my listings as well as having their own category.

The Beginner Books do not…yet…have their own category.

NewNeedlepoint.com has an extensive selection 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 fine Tote Bags and Shoulder Bags are both very stylish and very practical. The large Tote Bags with shoulder length straps and her slightly smaller Shoulder Bags never look like the sturdy and useful totes they are. The Shoulder Bags are also the perfect everyday bag.

There is also my small Needlepoint Tools Category. I don’t sell anything I am not familiar with, no Drop Ship here. This is where you will find Mighty Bright lamps, Laying tools, quality Gingher Scissors, DMC or Kreinik Color Cards and more.

NewNeedlepoint.com continues to change as I work to make it as good as it can be. I hope you like what you see.

Elsa Williams is one of the better known needlework designers. Her designs and products include needlepoint, embroidery, crewel work, cross stitch and more. The needlework products bearing her name are too numerous to mention.

This is Elsa William's Bargello book. It is one of the most important of the early books on Bargello needlepoint. it is another fine Van Nostrand Reinhold book, published in 1967. It is hard cover and has 64 pages.

The book is very good condition, the dust jacket was in very bad condition. I know dust jackets are important to a book's value but I can't see keeping a filthy and foxed paper cover on an otherwise good or very good book,

This was indeed hard-to-find. They are out there but the conditon is often just terrible. The pages are a bit yellowed at the edges, due to age and The Yarn Mart of Little Rock, Arkansas put their stitcker on the inside front cover page



Elsa Williams patterns are wonderful, her color use is spectacular, not dated at all, despite the 1967 publication of this book. There are only 22 color pictures in this book, the rest are black & white photographs and there are no charts.



The photos of the patterns are so close-up and detailed, in both the B&W and the color pictures, that a chart is almost (not quite but almost) not necessary.

Everytime I open this book, I get ideas. I think this book is as close to a historical view of the 20th century of development of Bargello in America as we will see, by a definitive author and authority.

The Bargello Book by Frances Salter
 
This little book is one of the books that everyone who is interested in Bargello Needlepoint reaches for first. It is just a book of Bargello stitches, each one shown in color and graphed. The graphs are rated by the difficulty of the pattern. The book was published by A & C Black in London 1991. Despite being almost 20 years old this book looks & feels fresh and contemporary. In fact, I was surprised that is was published that long ago. The The Bargello Book is still in print, I have ... More Info
