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.

This excellent book of needlepoint stitches is mentioned in the September/October issue of Needlepoint Now. I have just received my order of new copies of this book, so I am all set to sell & ship this book with no delay.

Father B is The Rev. Robert E. Blackburn. This wonderful little book began life as an assemblage of stitches developed by the ANG, the American Needlepoint Guild as the Stitch of the Month.

The first edition, published in 1982 had less than 100 stitches. They continued producing editions of this book until 1994, by then they had 240 stitches plus many of the older stitches which had not been previously charted.

I have recently learned that this is the final edition of this book, there will not be another. I thought it was out of print, it is not. I am very pleasantly surprised.

This is the 6th Edition from 2000, the 21st Century Edition and it now has 350 stitches. Many of these stitches are original and not available elsewhere.

Some of these interesting stitches bear the names of the ANG chapters where they were invented such as "Tarheel" or Queen Charlotte".

I read on the last page of this book ago that Father B died October 2000. That was sad news, this is a wonderful book and he must have been an incredible stitcher.

This is a small book, bound in heavy paper with a plastic spiral binding. The book lies flat when opened, making it easy to follow a stitch graph. It is narrow and very portable, easily slipped into your stitching tote bag.

The graphs and directions are concise & complete.

This book is brand new from the publisher.

I suppose as well as a stitch book it is also something of a history of the ANG's Stitch of the Month development, over the years.

Tapisserie: The Art of Needlepoint by Hayat Palumbo
 
Tapisserie is another gorgeous book by Hayat Palumbo. I had never heard of it or even heard it mentioned of referred to when her other book, A Passion for Needlepoint, is spoken of. I had been selling it used and it was very hard-to-find. Now I have discovered that it has been re-printed and available as a new book. I am thrilled. This is not a book of patterns you can follow, with charts and directions. What it is is gorgeous needlepoint & tapestry work. Ideas and ... More Info

The Shapes of Needlepoint Series 2 by Sandra Arthur
 
Following the amazing success of Sandy Arthur's first Shapes of Needlepoint Part 1 (or Series 1, as I should have been calling it) is Part 2 (series 2). This book covers Diamonds, Hearts, Octagons & Stars. This book has just been released and I have copies of it in stock. I am cribbing this review from Elizabeth's Bookshelf in the latest issue of Needlepoint Now (with apologies and compliments to Elizabeth Bozievich, it is an excellent review). One thing I have to mention before I ... More Info
