American Country Needlepoint by Jim Williams on NewNeedlepoint.com

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.

I had not seen this book before and I have never heard or read anything about it but I was attracted by the name, so I bought it, sight unseen.

I am very pleasantly surprised. The designs are "country" but there are no duckies and few kitsch designs here.

There is a chapter called Country Animals. Itt has 2 different but handsome roosters, a fine sitting hen, a baby chick (maybe I spoke too soon about duckies) rabbits in clover, a rainbow trout, birds nest and of course a sleeping cat.

Each design is given 3 pages, for complete directions, a color key and a full size full color graph.

The rest of the Chapters are:
Garden Fruits and Vegetables with some unusual ideas like a slice of watermelon shaded pillow and wait until you see the Indian Corn.

Favorite Flowers, which includes a sampler rug. Each letter is graphed with it's own flower.

There are a number of rug designs here, one interesting rug combines needlepoint with crochet.

Published by Taunton Press in 1997, this is a first printing edition of the book. It is a large glossy cover paperbound book with 103 pages. It is filled with pictures, all of them in color.

American Country Needlepoint is in very good condition. There is a tiny fold on the upper right hand corner of the cover but other then that, it is fine. No marks or foxing. The book has clearly been opened and read but the spine is good and tight.

This is a rare book, it was hard (and expensive) to get.
