Needlepoint Books
Over this past year, customers have requested that we add needlepoint books to our store. We listened and are now in the process of culling our list to a reasonable number of needlepoint titles and still researching publishers and distributors. In the meantime, we have listed below some of our current favorite titles. Our favorite selections vary according to the season, but the books listed below are some of our all time favorites. Although you cannot yet purchase these titles from our site, you can purchase these and many other titles at Amazon.com or any national bookstore chain in your area. Give us a call if you have trouble finding a copy.
