Floral Needlepoint for Beginners by Stella Edwards on NewNeedlepoint

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.

Stella Edwards is the author of 2 other needlepoint book, the excellent Wildlife in Needlepoint and The Needlepoint Home Collection which I have not seen yet.

At first I thought this was a design book but it really is not. it does have simple designs for a novice needlepoibnter to stitch but the emphasis here is the instruction. You might think the designs in a beginner's book are simplistic. They are not, there are some very nice designs in here.

it starts at the very beginning, in the introduction, explaining everything you will need to know to stitch these projects, types of canvas, yarns or threads, how to form the stitches and how to adapt the designs for use on different items.

The projects are divided into seasons, which is really perfect for a floral based needlepoint book. Each project has a full color stitch chart and color key. Information on materials and step-by-step photographs.

These are mostly all smaller projects, not too daunting for a beginner. This is a very good 1st introduction to needlepoint from an experienced needlepoint designer and teacher.

This is a hardcover book. Published by Chartwell Books in 1993.

Floral Needlepoint for beginners is in very good condition. It would be Gift Quality except for some dust jacket flaring at the top and bottom and a bit of dirt on the ust jacket back (that I could not get off).

The book inside and the pages are perfect, like new.
