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.

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.

This is a great book for beginner stitchers. it is a Needlepoint primer by the well-known needlepoint author Hope Hanley. The dust jacket says " this little book deals with all questions needlepoint beginners ask and which are rarely answered in more elaborate volumes." This is so true. It is a small hardbound book, published by Charles Scribner's & Sons in 1973.

The dust jacket goes on to say "it begins with the mechanics of starting a canvas and basic stitches and ends with blocking, finishing and repairing". There are sections on design and color and charts for 20 decorative stitches.

I am impressed. I think I will read this book myself before it sells, to find tips to add to my own Beginner's Manual that I send out with Beginner's Kits.

In fact, this book would make a terrific gift along with one of my Beginner Kits (hint, hint).

This book is in very good condition. The dust jacket is good but the book underneath is like new. Someone has written their name and a date on the first page, that is the only marking of any kind.
