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.

Creating Contemporary Bargello by Iona L. Dettelbach
Price: $35.00
* Quantity:  
* = Required Field
Subtitled " A Designers Guide". Although this is a new book, it was hard to find in stock. There are 4 and 1 half pages of full colors pictures just in the cover pages, before you even get to the title page of this book. There are more color pictures on the back cover as well.

The Bargellos in this book were designed and stitched by Iona Dettelbach and Susan Seabright. There is a certain amount of "design as you stitch" in most finished bargello needlepoint canvases, I am sure that is why both stitchers are named.

Once you get inside the book, the picture (and there are tons of them) go to black & white but using 4 tones of black & gray plus differing stitch placement directions ( I mean the lines pointed in different ways) the author makes even a complex bargello pattern easy to read and follow.

The chapters are:

SUPPLIES, TOOLS AND HELPFUL HINTS
GETTING STARTED
BACKGROUND STITCHES THAT COMPLIMENT BARGELLO DESIGN
Suggested Stitches
Stitch Diagrams (with 9 stitches shown)
THE HEART OF BARGELLO DESIGN
THE SOUL OF BARGELLO DESIGN
Color
The Techniques of Shading
The Teaching Samplers
Expanding Design From Projects
PROJECTS AND POSSIBILITIES
Advanced Projects 12 projects
Possibilities 3 projects
FIBERS & ACCESSORIES AVAILABLE TO TODAY'S BARGELLO ARTIST
CONCLUDING CHAPTER.

This appears to be a complete and detailed book, The instructions take you from beginner (or someone who does needlepoint but is unfamiliar with Bargello) all the way to Bargello expertise and art.

Creating Contemporary Bargello is a new book from Colorbar Perimuter Publishing Co published in 2007. It is a heavy paper cover book with a plastic spiral binding with 114 pages.

I have sold many copies of this book so far. I always have trouble finding others in good condition ... More Info

Bargello Magic by Pauline Fischer & Anabel Lasker
 
The subtitle for this book is "How To Design Your Own".

There are examples of both good design and bad design along with solutions to design problems. Every Bargello Needlepoint pattern is shown in color as well as black & white. What this book lacks is many useable graphs. As a Bargello design primer ... More Info

The Bargello Book by Frances Salter
 
I thought this book was out-of-print, I guess it was for a while. This is a new 2006 re-printing of the original 1993 classic Bargello Pattern book. I have several used or not new copies of the 1995 A & C Black, London edition of this book for sale here in my rare Bargello Books category including one Gift Quality Edition. I was under the impression that these were the only editions available. I have compared this 2006 LACIS Publications edition with my British originals and they seem ... More Info
