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.

97 Needlepoint Alphabets by B. Borssuck
Price: $32.00
* Quantity:  
* = Required Field
Each Alphabet or Number in this book is graphed full size, so the graphs can be easily transferred to your canvas. They are not all one size, the vary in size from as large as 24 threads to as small as 5 threads.

They are organized in order with the smallest in the front of the book, ranging to the largest in the back. The variety of letterings is amazing.

This book is intended for needlepoint but the charts are also perfect for cross-stitch. The book contains many patterns not found in most needlepoint books.

This is another book that is not hard-to-find but very rare in good condition. I have sold one here, ordered 2 others that came in in terrible and unsalable condition. This 4th copy I ordered came in great but that is with one pretty big caveat. Plus, it cost a lot more.

A previous owner wrote in the margins, the upper left hand side, of the pages. In a few cases she made marks on the graphed letter patterns as well.

I have gone through 97 Needlepoint Alphabets page by page. Here is the "count"
8 graphs have marks on them, in most cases they are done in orange so you can easily tell the difference between the stitchers marks and Ms Bossuck's graphs.

6 pages have notes written on the upper right corner of the page. On 2 of these pages the notes go down the whole left side of the page.

So, this is the trade off, this hard-to-get in good condition book with these marks or a terrible condition copy (which you will not find here) with no marks.

A previous owner of this book has embossed her name on the inside title page

IN going through the book, page by pages, my impression that these were creative and wonderful alphabet designs was reinforced.

97 Needlepoint alphabets is a large size glossy paper bound book in very good condition There is a little wear on the edges of the book but other then that, it is in very good shape. As you can see, the spine i tight,.

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

American Heirloom Bargello by Millie Hines
 
Another popular book, getting harder & harder to find in acceptable condition. This is a beginner level Bargello Needlepoint book, it is rated an A, which is the easiest designation. The bargello designs are adaptations of Navaho Rugs and early American Quilt patterns. There are 24 designs, with graphs, color photographs, yarn or thread colors used and working instructions. What the book doesn't have is anything telling you how much yarn or thread you need. But I can remedy that. ... More Info

Needlepoint From America's Great Quilt Designs by Mary Kay David & Helen Giammattei
 
I have wanted this book for a long time now. I love American Quilt design and think it is a perfect match with Needlepoint. This book confirms that and more. The book has 50 Quilt Designs charted for needlepoint. The diagrams are large, stitch by stitch and very easy to follow. There is a color picture of each project, stitched and easy to follow instructions. Most of the pictures and the charts are in B & W but I wanted to show you some of the color pictures. They are ...
