Needlepoint Talk Blog

If your looking for Needlepoint talk, visit our blog and find interesting topics and helpful tips.
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.

If you have read many of the used book listings here you know I taught myself Needlepoint & Bargello Needlepoint from books. This is the #1 book that taught me to stitch, and stitch correctly, Bargello Needlepoint.

Margaret Boyles is a Master Teacher, her directions are concise and clear. her graphs are in full color and good size you don't have to peer at them with a magnifying glass.

I have sold 4 copies of this book so far. I had trouble finding another in good condition> Each time I replace this book, it costs more than the last time. I know the price is high, it reflects the "market". Bargello: An Explosion in Color is becoming very rare and very expensive.

The book is set up in sensibly, going from easy to stitch all the way to advanced & 4 Way Bargello. It took me 3 months to go from easy to fairly advanced but I will admit there are some patterns that are still beyond me and I haven't yet managed a successful 4-Way Bargello.

Ms Boyles begins the book with a primer on materials, then stitches. Then Bargello tips and understanding Bargello design. My first Bargello project, after Ripple of course, everyone does Ripples first, was Canvas 11 from page 45.

I stitched my way through the book. Not full size projects but sample sizes to learn the stitches. As I finished Canvas 52, an Average Level Florentine Embroidery Flat Top Pattern on page 104 I began to get very busy building NewNeedlepoint.com.

But I wanted to try an Advanced Pattern. I stitched Canvas 53, on page 106. It came out very good, good enough that I offered the pattern in my (now closed, never sold even 1) Bargello Category.

The book has further sections on Mitred Bargello, which is what she calls 4-Way Bargello and finishing & mounting instructions.

Anyway, I know I am talking about myself here. I want you to understand how great this book is.

This copy is good, it would be very good if it didn't have some foxing on the cut page ends at the top of the book. I doesn't seem to go down on the pages more than 1/8 of an inch anywhere but still.....I want to show you a very close up picture of this.




A previous owner has written her name on the inside cover page The book inside is very good except for the foxing on the cut ends of the pages on just one side. The spine is tight and the dust jacket is good. There were a few small tears and bent edges which I taped up.

Free-Form Bargello by Gigs Stevens
 
There are so many things I love about this book. I love the unique idea, the forms and colors used and the author's name "Gigs". On the back over is her picture, she is a good looking blonde. I imagined "Gigs" would have been more unusual looking but you never know, do you? This book was published by Charles Scribner's & sons in 1977. I think it may be unique in it's subject. It is not really a rare or hard to find book, but I think it is terrific. A former owner has written her name ... More Info

Beth Russell's Victorian Needlepoint
 
This is another of the lovely, glossy Beth Russell Needlepoint books. It's subject is Victorian Needlepoint and as always, Beth Russell has produced a beautiful book of pictures, needlepoint designs and graphs you can stitch. The subject of Victorian Needlepoint crosses into the Arts & Crafts Movement in art and design during the late Victorian years. Ms. Russell has also covered this area in her William Morris needlepoint Book (also a gift quality book for sale here). In this book ... More Info

American Flag Bargello Needlepoint Kit
 
The moment Keith first saw the Ripple Bargello Stitch, he visualized an American Flag waving in the breeze. He is right, it stitched up perfectly. This Bargello Needlepoint project is 12.5 X 12.5 inches on 14 mesh Zweigart mono canvas. It is stitched with Paternayan Persian Needlepoint Wool. This design came to life on the canvas very quickly. The combination of the 14 mesh and these stitches made it stitch up very fast. It is suitable for a Novice Needlepointer. Perhaps not for a ... More Info
