Mary Corbet is fond of the cross stitch kits from Avlea, so she was quite interested when she realized the company also sells needlework tools. We all love good tools, right?
Mary likes these well enough to start selling them through her website. The awl is small (good for small hands like mind) and the tip isn't particularly sharp, so you don't have to worry about snagging threads by accident.
The green needle minder bar has a pretty gold scroll design and three magnets on the back so it will hold lots of needles, good for those projects with a lot of colors you keep switching between. Mary cautions us that it won't hold heavy items like scissors or laying tools, however. I think the other needle minders are also from Avlea, but I'm not 100% sure.
