Favorite Finds

Based in Rock Hill, S.C., Joseph's Workshop focuses on handmade, laser-engraved wooden products, including a variety of stitching-related accessories. The company features father-son duo, Todd and Zachary Brakefield. Todd handles the production, design and creation end of the business, while Zachary runs the day-to-day operation including sales and customer service. While the product catalog boasts everything from ornaments and jewelry to lamps and dimensional holiday decor, it's the cross-stitch supplies that will have stitchers filling their online basket quickly.

Intricate design details fill each wooden piece in their cross-stitch collection, which features traditional needle minders and thread keepers. The collection also features the corner square, which is a 3" -square marker used to help determine the starting point on a stitching project. The wooden tool includes two starting points (1" and 2"), allowing stitchers to select a starting point based on fabric allowance. The motifs on the wooden accessories include ghosts, vintage campers, trucks, peacocks, bees, sheep, dogs, owls, cats and roses. There is something for every stitcher and every style! Prices for these unique handcrafted treasures range from $9.99 for needle minders to $12.99 for corner squares and thread keeps.
