Needlepoint Talk Blog

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.

Canvas Work stitches is an English Needlepoint book, published by B T Batsford LTD, London in 1980. There is always a slight difference between English and American needlepoint and there are a quite a few stitches in this book that I am not familiar with. Some I am sure I have not seen before.

The book shows and graphs 250 stitches, with easy to read stitch graphs and pictures for each stitch. This is clearly a needlepoint stitch book for an advanced or experienced stitcher.

I love the back cover picture of Mary Rhodes, I imagine it would be great to be able to sit and stitch with her, I like her looks (no idea why). Ms Rhodes trained at the Cambridge School of Art and studied Embroidery part-time at Goldsmith's College School of Art and at Camberwell School of Art.

She has been a teacher and tutor for numerous embroidery courses, mainly with branches of the Embroiderer's Guild in England and with the ILEA Courses for Adult Education.

Of course, needlepoint is often referred to as Canvas Embroidery in the UK.

This book is in very good condition. the dust jacket is good and the book itself appears to have been lightly used, if at all. There are some dings to the hardcover in front at the top but no dirt all all. The spine is good, not the tightest I ever saw but solid with no loose pages The pages inside are very good. This is a increasingly rare and hard-to-find book
