NewNeedlepoint.com just had it’s 3rd birthday. I am sometimes amazed that we made it this far. I keep making changes and tweaking my web store. I want it to be the best it can be.
NewNeedlepoint.com has 2 sections. There is my extensive collection of New Needlework books. I have expanded the books categories to cover other types of stitching in addition to Needlepoint.
There are knitting & crochet books, embroidery & cross-stitch books, color use & theory books and the catch-all misc. books category.
My Rare/Used Book titles are dictated by the books my customers want and the books that I can get, in reasonable condition. It is getting difficult to find decent, salable old books. Some of the Rare Books are getting quite hard to find.
I have also expanded the Rare/Used books categories to cover other types of Needlework.
I specialize in Bargello Needlepoint books although there aren’t that many of them out there, used or new.
The other side of NewNeedlepoint.com is the Canvases & Kits I sell. I stock mostly hand painted needlepoint designs by some of today’s great Needlepoint Designers. I have a special category for the gorgeous & colorful work of Laurel Burch.
I also have a good collection of Patt & Lee’s superior Glicee’
needlepoint designs including a whole section of Patt’s Scrap Threads collection. The perfect way to use all that extra stash we all have.
I assemble the kits myself, from the threads I love to stitch with. I use Anchor & DMC Perle Cotton Floss in sizes 3, 5 & 8. Also Kreinik Metallic Braid Thread in sizes 12 & 16.
I have a small Needlework Tool collection, all of it things I use and know work well.
I want to thank all my customers for 3 great years, so far. This coming year should be as interesting as the last 3 have been.
The subtitle to this book by well-known needlepoint teacher Ruth Dilts book is: Guide To Painted Canvas.
To quote Ms Dilts Forward: "Looking at a painted canvas can be very dainting. There are so many choices to be made. Where does one start? Actually this is the fun part, once you have developed some confidence. This book will help you gain that confidence.
Needlepoint 101 will help you look at any painted canvas and decide which basic stitches and threads to use. I will show you ... More Info
The Thread, Canvas & Needlepoint Handbook by Master Teacher Susan Sturgeon Roberts has been out of print for some time now. This is an interesting and helpful book and I was sorry it was no longer available.
I contacted the author (Susan) to ask if there was any chance this book (and her excellent Tip & Techniques for Needlepoint) might be available again and she had some copies of each in stock.
This is a very handy and informative book with all those little things you wish you knew. ... More Info
