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.

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 complete Beginner but someone who has just learned the basics could easily do this.

The American Flag design has the correct proportions. The number and order of the stripes is also "by the book". The Paternayan Wool used for the flag is pure white, the background stitch wool is an off-white shade. There needed to be a difference.

The Ripple Stitch is one of the easiest and most effective stitches used in Bargello Needlepoint

I will stitch up the establishing line for both the flag and the background. The background stitch is really very easy, if you look at it. It is basically just a Jacquard Stitched, reversed on itself with some clever filler. It does make a fine sky, I think.

The establishing stitches for the Sun will not be placed on the canvas. It is very easy to place it or you could leave it off, your choice.

I found these stitches in my Margaret Boyles Bargello Book, Explosions in Color (for sale here, surprise, surprise).

The Sun is a single diamond using Upright Gobelin Stitch to form the diamond and Satin Stitch as the center filler.



Your Bargello Needlepoint Kit will also include my own Bargello Needlepoint Basics instructions Booklet as well as specific directions for this design. Each stitch used here will be graphed out in full color.

I did not stitch stars on the Blue area of the flag, it was just a design choice I made. Your kit will include enough White wool to add stars, if you wish.

NewNeedlepoint.com's original design needlepoint canvases are all hand drawn in black or gray on Zweigart 100% cotton white mono needlepoint canvas.

All NewNeedlepoint canvases have folded and machine hemmed edges or carefully taped canvases edges. I prefer to hem them when there is enough extra canvas to permit it.

Each kit includes the correct size needle for this canvas.

The amounts of floss or yarn shown in the pictures are for color only, the actual amounts sent may vary from what is shown. The colors will not vary.

Needlepoint wool coverage is not an exact science. I try to make sure there is plenty to finish each canvas with some to spare. If you run short e-mail me and I will send you more at no extra cost.

Remember to stitch 2-3 additional lines all around the completed canvas for finishing.

For free Needlepoint Instruction I like and a few of the best basic stitches I like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Needlepoint

Larger needlepoint canvases will be rolled for shipping, smaller canvases will be shipped flat. I do not offer finishing services.
