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.

Carolyn Ambuter's Complete Book of Needlepoint

This book is subtitled "With the most complete, easiest-to-use dictionary of stitches ever compiled". The book does appear to be a complete primer. It is a large paper back book with a wonderful plastic sprial ring binder, making it easy to open flat and follow the directions. The book was published by Thomas Y. Crowell & Company in 1973.

The chapters include Working Materials, Getting Started, Technique, Pillows and Other Things To Make, Dictionary of Stitches (73 oages) and an Alphabet sampler project to stitch.

This is not a really rare book but I think it is an important one.

There are few color pictures in this book but the charts are clear and easy to follow.

This book is in good condition. The front & back paper covers are somewhat worn but not dirty. The pages inside are in very good condition. This book has clearly been read and used but it has been kept very well.
