Embroidery Designs From the Sea by Barbara Snook 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.

When I bought this used book, sight unseen with no description beyond condition and that is very often untrue, I was not sure what it would be. It could have been graphed designs or just traceable shapes. I suppose I should have known it would just be shapes to trace for embroidery.

And so it is, but I am listing it here anyway. Design books with shapes and designs for fish, marine plants & animals are hard to find and someone may find this book very useful.

There are no graphs, embroidery instructions, not needlepoint directions but a medium to experienced stitcher should be able to transfer these designs unto canvas and stitch them.

The book is full of well done hand drawn designs. My bibliography lists it as a C in difficulty (with A the easiest and D the hardest). it says it is a great source for unusual designs.

It was published by Taplinger Publishing Co, New York in 1977. The book is hardcover and has 94 pages. This book was Hard-To-Find.

This book is in Fine condition, I would be Gift Quality if a previous owner had not written her name on the inside cover page.

The book, the pages and the dust jacket are all in excellent condition.
