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.

You probably know by now that I am a fan of "Learn To" or " Beginners" books. I clearly remember being a brand new stitcher and there seemed to be no where to find the basics of each kind of stitching. The stuff you need to know to plan or buy your first project.

So, I buy a lot of these kinds of books to list. Here is another.

The front cover says This is a Beginner's Guide featuring Step-By-Step, Key Techniques and 10 easy projects. Look pretty good from my know-nothing level, so far.

The back cover calls this book "A practical guide to crochet, with step-by-step instructions and photographs throughout."

" Original projects for the beginners, from baby clothes to stylish home accessories"

"Easy yo use with clear instructions, stitch diagrams and attractive color photography".

Let's see. This book is all it claims to be. All the photographs are full color and the diagrams are easy to understand. Each project begins with what you need to do it, directions and explanations for what the crochet symbols mean. The projects are not the height of fashion, us beginer's could not do them, if they were.

I could crochet using this book (and I am hopeless, I still prefer basketweave & tent stitch).

This is a new book From Creative Arts & Crafts, a division of Creative Homeowner Publisher, published in 2003. Learn To Crochet is a glossy paperbound book with 80 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.
