NewNeedlepoint.com has been open almost 2 years now. There have been many changes as I find my “spot” in the on-line needlepoint community.

NewNeedlepoint.com specializes in books, both new and used books. The needlepoint and Bargello Needlepoint book categories are extensive. Many of the books here are rare, some are quite rare and all have reviews I have written.

There are pictures of all the books. I find a picture of the cover sometimes tells you more about a book then any review can.

All the used/rare books have pictures of the book cover or dust jacket plus a picture of the inside pages so you can see the condition of the books for yourself.

I know it is a given in the used book market that you keep the dust jacket, no matter the condition but I find many good or very good condition books inside terrible and dirty dust jackets. In that case I remove them, no matter what the market “says”.

NewNeedlepoint.com is currently expanding it’s collection of other Needlework books. Included are Cross-Stitch, Glorafilia, Ribbon Stitching, Embroidery, Punchneedle, Bead Stitching, Whitework, Blackwork, Beginner Needlepoint and more.

I will continue to sell selected needlepoint canvases & kits including the work of Patt & Lee Designs, Laurel Burch and more. The Patt & Lee collection of Scrap Thread canvases are a wonderful way to use your extra yarn and thread stash.

The items in the small tools category is also carefully chosen. I only sell tools I have used myself.

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

This excellent book of needlepoint stitches is mentioned in the September/October issue of Needlepoint Now. I have just received my order of new copies of this book, so I am all set to sell & ship this book with no delay.

Father B is The Rev. Robert E. Blackburn. This wonderful little book began life as an assemblage of stitches developed by the ANG, the American Needlepoint Guild as the Stitch of the Month.

The first edition, published in 1982 had less than 100 stitches. They continued producing editions of this book until 1994, by then they had 240 stitches plus many of the older stitches which had not been previously charted.

I have recently learned that this is the final edition of this book, there will not be another. I thought it was out of print, it is not. I am very pleasantly surprised.

This is the 6th Edition from 2000, the 21st Century Edition and it now has 350 stitches. Many of these stitches are original and not available elsewhere.

Some of these interesting stitches bear the names of the ANG chapters where they were invented such as "Tarheel" or Queen Charlotte".

I read on the last page of this book ago that Father B died October 2000. That was sad news, this is a wonderful book and he must have been an incredible stitcher.

This is a small book, bound in heavy paper with a plastic spiral binding. The book lies flat when opened, making it easy to follow a stitch graph. It is narrow and very portable, easily slipped into your stitching tote bag.

The graphs and directions are concise & complete.

This book is brand new from the publisher.

I suppose as well as a stitch book it is also something of a history of the ANG's Stitch of the Month development, over the years.

Silver Bent Tip Laying Needle
 
I did not know what to expect when I ordered these, there was no picture, no description. Just a name. I was nicely surprised when these arrived. This is a wonderful thread laying tool, perfect in it's simplicity, if you know what I mean. this tool is actually called a " Bent Weaver's Needle" which just goes to show you a great tool always has more than one use. They used to make this Gold-Plated but as the cost of gold has skyrocketed, they no longer do. It does not say but I think ... More Info

Hope Hanley's Needlepoint in America
 
This is an interesting book by Hope Hanley. it is not a Needlepoint design and instruction book, it is more a history of Needlepoint here in America. This book was published by Weathervane Books in New York in 1969. Hope Hanley has done a detailed and carefully researched study, using old needlework books and ladies magazines, as they were then known, as well as worked pieces in museums and private collections. Ms. Hanely traces the European origins of early American Needlepoint ... More Info

Trianglepoint by Sherlee Lantz
 
Another great needlepoint book by Sherlee Lantz, the author of A Pageant of Pattern for Needlepoint Canvas. This book is subtitled "From Persian Pavilions to Op Art with One Stitch. Ms Lantz does seem to like the idea of a "pavilions". The book was published by Viking Press in 1978. This book has become harder & harder to find. I have sold many copies of it here and it is now almost impossible to find one in both good condition and not too expensive. I List this book in both the ... More Info
