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.

Cicely Mary Barker's Flower Fairies in Ribbon Embroidery & Stumpwork by Di van Niekerk

I am at a disadvantage here, I had not previously heard of Cicely Mary Barker's lovely Flower Fairies designs. I had just 1 boy, he is 31 now and was never interested in Fairies (or fashion either).

Di van Niekerk is the author of several other Ribbon Embroidery & Stumpwork books, some of which I list here on NewNeedlepoint.

In her introduction Ms Neikerk writes about these designs
"Cecily Mary Barker was born in Croyden, South London in 1895. She was enrolled at Croyden Art Society at 13 and 2 years later at age 15, her first set of postcards was published.

Her timeless and exquisite Flower Faires brtought her international acclaim as an artist and they are as captivating today as they were in 1923 when they were first published".

From the back cover of the book, I paraphrase:
5 of her beautiful Fairies are translated into Ribbon & Stumpwork Embroideries. With numerous new ideas & tachniques, this book will appeal to both beginners and advanced embroiderers.

East to follow steo-by-step directions show you how to:
embroider the pretty flowers & leaves in Silk and Organza ribbon

Use Organza and silky threads to make the Fairies delicate Stumpwork wings

Make Applique leaves & petals

Create charming Stumpwork Insects

Dress the Fairies in layers of Organza and Embroider their hair

Make the Fairies Clothing using Long & Short Stitch

Create 3 dimensional designs using color, texture & shapes.

The 5 Flower Faires in this book are:
The Periwinkle Fairy
Black Medick Fairies
White Clover Fairy
Stork's Bill Fairy
Red Clover Fairy.

This is a gorgeous book, very special. Despite the back cover comments, this book is not for beginners. It needs a somewhat experienced or advanced stitcher.

There are many, many pictures, all in full color, sometimes as many as 8 on a single page. They show every possible technique you need plus the directions and instructions are complete and detailed.

First published in the UK in 2009, this is the April 2010 re-print edition from Search Press in Tunbridge Wells, England. It is a matte cover paperbound book with 152 pages.

ISBN # 978-1-84448-430-0

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.
