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.

Canvas Embellishment The Sequel by Linda Corirossi

The subtitle on the cover of this book says " Colorful Stitches for Needlepoint."

This book, the Sequel to her amazing "Canvas Imbellishment" has been out of print for a long time. It was very recently re-issued and I thought it might be a very valuable Needlepoint Stitch book so I ordered one of each, despite it's high price.

In the Introduction to the first book the author says that the book(s) is/are the result of 15 years of teaching needlepoint. The author goes on to say that in the beginning it was all Continental (tent) stitch and Basketweave.

Then it went to samplers using 12-25 stitches. She goes on to say that finally her students wanted to stitch hand painted canvases with some of the sampler stitches they learned. That is how *Canvas Embellishment* was born (her words).

She explains Canvas Embellishment as using stitches & fibers to add texture, depth and life to a canvas.

You can always tell when you reading an expert's words and this struck me as just that. Plus it was very interesting to me since I came to Needlepoint at the end of what she calls "the sampler period".

The introduction to the sequel goes on to say that there have been so many new variations on Stitches that she had to write this second book.

The Chapters are:
Clothing
Building & Architecture
Flowers & Plants
Trims, Accents & Decorative Stitches
Beards Hair & Fur
Backgrounds

By "clothing: she means "imitate actual fabric in clothing with different textures & patterns".

In the Plants chapter she specializes in stitches that will be perfect (or better) for flowers, leaves, trees, grass, fruits & vegetables.

Buildings etc. is using fubers & textures to create structures on canvas.

The beards etc chapter is new to this book. The author says they are easy to create with stitches & unique fibers.

This book is extraordinary, as is Ms Corirossi's other book. I am so impressed with it (and that does not happen to often, I see so many books) that I am ordering a copy of each for myself.

The book is clearly self-published. I do not see a publication date or ISBN # anywhere.

It is a large spiral bound paper bound book with 118 pages but each page is only printed on one side.



Selling New Books is very different from selling my used, hard-to-find or rare books. New books have a set retail price and I have to compete in the “marketplace”.

NewNeedlepoint.com will be charging the full retail price for these fine new books but I will mail them for free. Please consider the Free Shipping as a Discount.

4 Way Bargello by Dorothy Kaestner
 
Dorothy Kaestner's wonderful book, 4 Way Bargello. I have a copy of this book myself and have sold so many here I now buy them in multiples, not 1 at a time. Although they are getting harder to find, or to find in a reasonable condition. I recently ordered 2 and both arrived full of foxing. Not good. Needless to say, I got a refund. 4-Way Bargello is a very advanced form of Bargello Needlepoint. The patterns are formed using mitered stitches to join the sections into a whole. The ... More Info
