Laurel Burch PiggyBack Cats Needlepoint Kit on NewNeedlepoint.com

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.

Laurel Burch Piggyback Cats Needlepoint Kit

Finally, some new Laurel Burch designs. This is a wonderful small design, a large cat is sitting there, looking like this is exactly what he planned (like all cats do) while a small cat is perched on his back, I imagine his expression to be mischievious.

The canvas uses 10 colors, very colorful designs are something of a signature for Laurel Burch. The design area measures 5 X 7.5 inches. The entire canvas is 8.5 X 10.5. It is hand signed by Ms Burch. This is an 18 mesh canvas.

I have assembled this kit using DMC & Anchor #8 Perle Cotton Floss. Stitching 18 mesh with the slightly smaller #8 floss is a big improvement, if you have not yet you are in for a nice surprise.

The PiggyBack Cats kit also includes Kreinik Gold Mettalic Braid Thread in size 12, also smaller then what you would use on a larger mesh canvas. Much better stitching on 18 mesh.

Each ball of #8 is equal to 2 skeins of floss, This should be stitched using a single strand of thread.

All NewNeedlepoint canvases have folded and machine hemmed edges or carefully taped canvases edges. Which one depends on how much white canvas is left outside the design area.

Each kit includes the correct size needle for this canvas.

The amounts of floss or yarn shown in the pictures are for color only, the actual amounts sent may vary from what is shown. The colors will not vary.

Needlepoint thread coverage is not an exact science. I try to make sure there is plenty to finish each canvas with some to spare. If you run short e-mail me and I will send you more at no extra cost.

Remember to stitch 2-3 additional rows all around the completed canvas for finishing.

Large needlepoint canvases will be rolled and sent in a mailing tube,
smaller canvases will be sent flat in a padded envelope.

I do not offer finishing services.
