Are You a Needlepoint Fashionista?

What exactly is a needlepoint fashionista you ask? a magnet and scissor fob to properly coordinate to your canvas! You are starting to stitch a new canvas, it is on the bars ready for you… hmmm what magnet do I want to use? what about my fob? Needlepoint is supposed to be fun, so why not make the entire experience wonderful?

This is a selection of magents and fobs that was sent to me by Mag Friends and Fob Friends of Accoutrement Designs to show off the possibilities!

The snowman fob and the candy cane magnet would complete the festive look with this DJ Designs canvas of Christmas Time at Rockefeller Center.

Of course my favorite is the black cat! and who says you can’t use two magnets? Yes I promise that I am going to get this wonderful cat canvas by Sharon G back into my stitching rotation oh so very soon…. The problem is I have rumaged through the threads that I pulled for this, so I hope I remember what I had originally selected!

The paw magnet would look wonderful with this dede cat canvas! This will be a great addition to my holiday stitching later this year.

The Crazy Quilt by Kelly Clark has so many possibilities to make a fashion statement!

or how about these?

and then there is this idea. I have a feeling that after mastering all of the ribbon work, that I might need that glass of champagne!

Last but not least is the Halloween look. Now if you too want to be a needlepoint fashionista, you probably can find these wonderful magnets and fobs at your favorite needlepoint shop.

Thank you to Fob Friends and Mag Friends for the selection that she sent. The magents will now make their way to the studios of Needlepoint Now for a photo shoot. But before they depart, I get to select one that I will use for a giveaway to commemorate our blogoversary next month!

Lets see what the kids are up to today? Now this is a rare sighting as Sylvester and AlleyCat are really not BFF’s. They get along just fine, play together and AlleyCat always reinds us just who’s in charge! and until next time…keep on stitching

About Vicky

Needlepoint, morning noon and evening! what could be better than this? I work on the computer in the daylight hours editing stitch guides and drawing stitches that you will see in the next Needlepoint Now for your stitching pleasure! In between this, there is time for taking pictures of my stitching adventures, Facebook and writing stitch guides for canvas that I am stitching for Needle Deeva, Maggie, Ruth Schmuff and others. Mostly needlepoint you ask? well we will talk about my cats Sylvester and AlleyCat, better known as "the brat". Of course I can't forget Felix who was the love of my life for over 14 years. He broke my heart as he departed for the Rainbow Bridge last year. Oh did I mention baseball?

  1. You know that I love the coordinating bling. Each canvas must have a color & thematically coordinated magnet and, preferably, scissors and fob, as well. These look like they could fill the bill! Thanks for sharing, Vicky.

  2. Picking one for the giveaway should be easy–you love black cats and there’s a black cat magnet.

    I also have the Dede cat wearing the sweater. Too cute!

  3. My husband bought me my first magnet about 15 years ago, when there weren’t many choices (but I love his choice…a heart!). I’ve only just begun buying magnets again. I also enjoy the photos of Sylvester and AlleyCat…their fur is always so lustrous. They remind me of my first cat, a black sweetie with a white swish between her front legs and a diamond at her throat. Gone 13 years and I still miss her.
