Needlepoint Art of Canvas Embroidery by Mary Rhodes NewNeedlepoint

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.

I have become a devotee of these excellent books by Mary Rhodes. I consider her to be one of the best of the "Master Teachers" and an authorities on Needlepoint.

This book emphasizes the creative aspects of needlepoint. The chapters on design and color & texture are extraordinary. There are ideas and variations here I have never seen before. Mary Rhodes books are most often for the expert or advanced stitcher and this is not exception.

The book is full of pictures, many of them full color showing the possibilities. There is unique needlepoint in this book, no same old here.

There is a chapter on the history of needlepoint, stitchery & and a fully illustrated dictionary of stitches, materials and equipment, starting and finishing, all the usuals plus a chapter title I have never seen before "What to make" beginning on page 109 with some ideas. Check out the purses on page 119.

This book is signed by Mary Rhodes on the title page. Just her name, no inscription. This is a large hardcover book published by Octopus Books Ltd in London in 1974. It has 144 pages. This is an unusual book.

Needlepoint: The Art of Canvas Embroidery has problems with the spine. it is a stitched spine and the last 2 pages of the book have almost come loose. There are other sections where the stitching is loose but no others nearly as bad as the last 2 pages. But, the spine stitching is a problem, I do not want to down-play it.

Otherwise the book is in very good condition. The dust jacket is clean & intact, just slightly yellowed at the edges but with no foxing. The pages inside are very good.
