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.

I like Beginner's books. I think that they make the sometimes confusing or overwhelming world of Needlework more accessible and easier to learn.

Then again, this "beginners" book is not really for needlework beginners. The Introduction to Drawn Thread Embroider is a moderate t very advanced stitcher's book.

To quote the back cover (as usual) "In this beautiful and inspiring book, Patricia Bage uses clear step-by step instructions, photographs and diagrams to explain how to create exquisite drawn thread embroideries that combine traditional techniques with contemporary threads, colours and embellishments".

I agree with this description of the book, after thumbing through it. The book does indeed begin at the very beginning. It discusses materials, things you need to know before you stitch, drawn thread techniques and beadwork.

There are 10 pages of embroidery stitches, 2 stitches to a page and very clearly diagrammed. Then 4 lovely projects.

This is a nice book and that is said in the best possible way.

Published by Search Press in the UK in 2007, this is the 2009 re-print. The Beginner's Guide to Drawn Thread Embroidery is a glossy cover paperbound book with 64 pages.

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.
