About

Poplar + Magnolia

Poplar is a builder’s wood, strong and dependable. Magnolia is as Southern as it gets, a symbol of elegance and beauty. Poplar + Magnolia brings both together in classic needlepoint designs that are thoughtfully made and beautifully detailed, for the beginner to the enthusiast.

ABBY'S STORY

I’ve always been a creative person, which means I’ve tried just about every craft out there. (Did I need another hobby and another bin of supplies? About as much as I need a hole in my head.) But needlepoint is the one that stuck.

There’s something about it that just works for me. The steady rhythm of one stitch after another quiets a busy brain, and at the end of the night I have something beautiful to show for it. What started as a way to unwind became my favorite part of the day, and before long I was designing charts of my own.

Poplar + Magnolia was born from a simple idea: needlepoint should feel approachable, beautiful, and personal. Every chart in our collection is an original design created by me, made with the hope that it becomes a piece you’ll treasure (or proudly gift) for years to come.

THE POPLAR + MAGNOLIA PROCESS

Every design starts as a sketch and is carefully translated, stitch by stitch, into a needlepoint design that’s clear, balanced, and easy to follow. Inspiration comes from Southern gardens, seasonal traditions, and the timeless details that make a home feel special, all with a classic style and a touch of charm. Each design is thoughtfully planned and refined so it stitches up beautifully, from the first stitch to the final finish.
