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.

Subtitled Design, Construction and Embellishment.

I love books, I am a reader and while I appreciate the ease with which I download & read books on my iPad, I still love the look and feel of real books.

Quoting from the back cover:
"Create precious embroidered books using all the latest fabrics and methods"

"This beautiful book contains over 30 innovative projects and techniques"

"Covers the basics of book construction as well as exquisite embellishment ideas"

"Illustrated throughout with stunning examples of the author's work."

Ok, there are enough overblown words there to make me delve inside and check this book out carefully.

While I reserve the word "stunning" for just a few of these, the hand made & decorated books in this book are indeed wonderful. There are all sorts of effects and materials used, none of them impossible to get.

The book begins with the basics of book construction, then it goes into various ways to structure the book and embellish it. There are box books, wallet fold books" and more.

The techniques go from Plaster of Paris, to printing on copper foil, to molding paste, to marbling to dyes and on.

The books you made would be excellent gifts and anyone into scrapbooking or picture albums would love these ideas.

The directions seem complete and all the pictures, with the exception of line drawings of structure etc, are in full color. A fine book about making books.

Published by Batsford (I should have known from the quality of this book) in the UK in 2009. Embroidered Books is a hard cover book with 128 pages.

ISBN # 978-1-906388-13-3


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.
