Scavenger Quest Needle Minder Mania

#1

Post by Sirithre »

Setting
Amidst all the excitement of the festival, you run into a travelling merchant. Calling themselves Mishkie, they explain they heard of our festival and travelled from afar to see what Stitchwind has to offer. They are a collector of various notions with a proclivity for needle minders.

“Hello, my friend,” Mishkie says, “Share with me the ways of Stitchwind… and perhaps we can find a way for everyone at this festival to benefit. I prefer to dabble in reciprocity rather than the pursuit of wealth. I have a keen interest in all items, new or old, used or unused.”

Reaching into your pocket, you grasp for anything that might pique the interest of this mysterious merchant. You pull out your needle minder that bears the crest of your guild and hold it out proudly.

Intrigued, Mishkie examines the item, and declares, “Yes, I believe Stitchwind will have much to offer."

Your Quest
We want to see your needle minders! This quest is simply to gather them up and take a photo to share with us. It doesn't matter if you only have one, or if you have a massive collection.

Don't use needle minders? We want to see what you DO use. Biscornus, pincushions, whatever you prefer.

This is NOT a contest, just a fun glimpse into other people's craft stash. Have fun!

Turn In
All done? Reply here with a photo of your collection! If you've got a moment, tell us which one is your favorite and why!

If you did this quest back in January 2021 on the discord feel free to re-submit the photo you took then, take a new one, or both!

As an example, here's my collection from Jan 2021. Unsurprisingly, I have a lot more biscornu and minders now. :mrgreen:

I mostly use biscornu tbh, but I do have a few needleminders. And there's a random pin drum and humbug in there too.

Not pictured: the 20+ stardew crops that are on my fridge instead, and the stock of 30 or so of each of the guild minders I haven't sold yet

I use the server rack I bought for my (abandoned before it ever really started) homelab for my needle minder storage, which makes it very nice to look at. My favourites are the big Pokemon ones from Melee Missy Stitchery.

I took a bunch off of projects to put them into the photo and right after I put them all back I realized I had missed at least 2... oh well haha :D They're all so cute I'm not sure I could pick a favorite, but I love the pokemon gameboy particularly, and the mermaid cat looks just like my mom's sweet little 19 year old kitty.

So I only have 3 needle minders and a biscornu I made. If I remember correctly I think I was inspired to try to make one when Sirithre was streaming about making one years ago, but I messed it up by overstuffing it xD Before I got needle minders I used my biscornu all the time but then I discovered the joy of needle minders and haven't used it since. My favorite is probably Calcifer, but I also really like my soot sprite and phoenix. I normally use two at a time so I can keep a spare needle on the second one to help lay stitches while I lay the threaded needle back onto the first one.
All three needle minders came from GingerStitchAu

Not a mess up! It looks great! You WANT to overstuff it! It'll get compressed with time as you use it.

Oh this thing is definitely overstuffed :lol: I used it so much and it hasn't compressed, there's just too much dang filling in it xD I actually lost a needle in it once, spent an hour trying to find the lost needle until I realized the biscornu ate it

I have nice little selection of needleminders and my Beescornu (which was designed by me o3o) The mushroom minder and gnome were gifted by a friend, I made the soot sprite cookie, hot cross bun and tortoro, I also turned the ghost and nightwish owl pins into minders myself, the others were bought, the little cookie tin is funtional and I opened it for the photo.
