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.
The cover photo on this book is very interesting, it is a smallish area of needlework incorporating (as far as I can count) 9 different textures in the stitching. It really is something, very effective.
This is another of the fine needlework books from Sally Milner's Milner Craft Series of books published in Australia in 1994.
This is a hard-to-get, rare book. Harder to get in such good condition
Keep in mind that most British & Australian stitchers call Needlepoint Canvas Work. ... More Info
The cover attracted me to this book. It shows the same graphic done on 4 colorways. This clearly illustrates the effect color can and does have on design.
The subtitle is : A Review of Past Tradition and Modern Theories.
To quote the back cover (always a good resource)
"This is an essential basic book on color, written by the best-known colorist of our times, for beginners seeking a through grounding in the comprehension and solution of color problems and for mature artists and ... More Info
This is a large & lovely book full of traditional designs you would associate with a Grand House in the English Countryside. The designs are gorgeous and the settings are wonderful.
There is a map on the 6th page of the book showing us which houses, exactly, these designs came from. There are 15 of them spread throughout England. Most of the designs are taken from antique needlework.
Each design has a full color picture of the original, very easy to read charts and a color key tied to ... More Info
This author's other book, A Needlepoint Gallery of Patterns from the Past (which is also available here) has been a steady selling book from the time I began selling books on NewNeedlepoint.com.
I did not know Phyllis Kluger was the author of any other needlework books until I found this book.
Quoting the back cover (as usual) " Victorian Design for Needlepoint contains more than thirty needlepoint designs inspired by the decorative and ornamental art of turn-of-the-century England and ... More Info
