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.

The Margaret Boyles Book of NeedleArt
Price: $28.00
* Quantity:  
* = Required Field
A different sort of book from Margaret Boyles. Most of her books are more Needlepoint or Bargello Needlepoint reference books or workbooks.

This book has designs to stitch and they cover a large range of types of needlepoint and stitchery. There are canvas work needlepoint designs, a number of Bargello Needlepoint designs, there are some designs done on linen and some frankly crewel work designs.

Of course, all are done with Margaret Boyles' excellent instruction and clear graphs and diagramming. She really is a Master Teacher.

This is a larger hardcover book with 160 pages. It was published by Harcourt Brace Jovanovitch in 1978.

The Margaret Boyles Book of Needleart has become very hard-to-find and cost quite a bit more to buy now. I suppose this is bound to happen with these great older books.

This book does not have a dust cover. I am sure it had one once, but not now. The book is in very good condition except for some wear & slight dings at the corners of the cover. Someone has written a price in pencil on the inside front cover and the letter P n the inside back cover.

I found 1 (not an area, just 1 tiny spot) spot of foxing on the inside front cover. I checked the book carefully and see no more of it anywhere.

The pages inside are very good and the binding is tight.
