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.

This Gingerbread Man Christmas Tree Ornament is adorable. From the pom pom on his hat to the sparkling snow, this is a wonderful holiday design. This ornament is hand painted by Laurie Korsgaden Designs.

There are pine trees, snow falling, a dark gray sky, his hat and pom pom, scarf and candy cane. When I first saw this canvas, I thought his pom pom was the moon and that it had been badly shaped. Later I realized what it was.

There are a lot of details in this small needlepoint canvas. Although it is a small design, I do not think it is really suitable for a beginner.

In my mind's eye, I see the falling snow done as French Knot stitches and many other decorative stitches used in this design.

The design area is 5 inches and the entire canvas measures 9.25 X 9.25 inches. it is 18 mesh.

I have assembled this kit using Anchor & DMC #8 Perle Cotton Floss plus Kreinik #12 Metallic Braid thread. I think the sparkling snow on the ground will be wonderful stitched using the White Metallic and his little button eyes need some black Metallic. The snow falling should not be stitched with the Kreinik Metallic, especially if you are going to stitch it with the French Knot Stitch.

It is much easier to stitch 18 mesh canvas with #8 size floss. There will be little or no thread knotting and no tugging needed, making your stitches much easier.

The #8 floss and the #12 Metallic should both be stitched using a single strand. I changed the colors in this design slightly. The sky was a dark blue/gray, not a warm color at all. I used a muted medium periwinjke blue for the sky. The effect will be lovely. I have included 2 balls so you are sure to have enough for the extra rows outside the design as well.



There is plenty of floss included, #8 floss only comes in double skein size balls. My picture only shows 1 spool of Kreinik White but there are 2 spool of it in the kit.

Your Needlepoint Kit will include a Color Placement Stitch Guide and
directions.

All NewNeedlepoint canvases have folded and machine hemmed edges or carefully taped canvases edges. I prefer to hem them when there is enough extra canvas to permit it.

Each kit includes the correct size needle for this canvas.

The amounts of floss or yarn shown in the pictures are for color only, the actual amounts sent may vary from what is shown. The colors will not vary.

Needlepoint thread coverage is not an exact science. I try to make sure there is plenty to finish each canvas with some to spare. If you run short e-mail me and I will send you more at no extra cost.

Remember to stitch 2-3 additional rows all around the completed canvas for finishing.

Large needlepoint canvases will be rolled and sent in a mailing tube,
smaller canvases will be sent flat in a padded envelope. I do not offer finishing services.
