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.

An unusual book, to say the least.

The authors of this book are the founders of Anticraft.com. I have no idea what that is but the jacket blurb begins with "Creation from chaos is natural"

They call this book a place to "rest your eyes, find some inspiration" do something "small to confront the manufactured culture that is currently being churned out".

As out there as this sounds, I sort of agree with them (a little).

INDEX

The directions seem to be good, although very tongue-in-cheek. The pictures are all black & white with color added to the projects they show.

Obviously, this book is aimed to Goth fashionistas or the little bit of Goth in many of us.

A fun book, and indeed unusual.

Published by North Light Books in 2007, Published in the US and also distrubted in Canada, UK, Australia.

This is a glossy cover paperbound book with 158 pages

Side note, there is nothing wrong with the back cover and the flaps, that is how they have been printed, I think it is supposed to be flak.


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.
