New Quilting Accessory

I recently received a new quilting accessory: a needle minder...

Meant to keep track of your needle, on a table or in fabric... it consists of 2 magnets that clip together.

Normally it would sit within arm's reach when sewing. Instead of putting a needle down on the table, where it often disappears into the background and gets lost, it can provide a temporary VISIBLE place to put the needle.

But more ingenious still, the needle minder can rest on fabric when a needle is still in the fabric.


(The second magnet holds it in place from underneath.)

I'm not sure how many layers of fabric and batting the magnets will hold through, but I'm looking forward to experimenting to see!
