In this category you will find a fun selection of magnetic needle holders or magnetic needle minders, sometimes they are referred to as magnetic needle nabbers.  These items are used by quilters, seamstresses and those that do hand work or needlework such as cross stitch, embroidery, needlepoint or crewel, to name a few. 

How does it work, you ask? 

A magnet is attached to the back of the ceramic clay shape, a second magnet is used on the back of the fabric piece to keep the needle holder in place.  The magnetic needle holder will keep your needle or pins in one place on your project.  It is best used with projects that are on stretcher or hoop frames.  

You can also use a magnetic needle holder next to your sewing machine to help keep straight pins and needles in one place.   

Each magnetic needle holder is hand made by me.  Every holder starts from a lump of clay.  The design is hand cut, kiln fired at least 2 times and all detail is hand painted by me.  Each piece is glazed so it is smooth and the detail will not wash off, fade or peel.  

Magnetic needle minders make great gifts, they can also be used as refrigerator magnets.
