This sweet, little needle case comes together super quickly all while teaching you the fundamental elements of quilting. Milwaukee artist and quilter Heidi Parkes demonstrates how to stitch up an easy, playful case for needles and pins that is essentially a mini quilt folded in half with a snap. Teaching three basic stitches and three knots, this hand-sewn case exhibits customizable applique and makes a delightful gift to send through the mail to fellow stitchers.

Loved it! I made one needle book, I'm using it frequently, and it brings joy every time I use it. It's so full of needles and pins that I need to make more books!

As usual, clear and thorough directions from Heidi! This needle case instruction has the added. bonus of preparing you to proceed to quilting as many of the same techniques are used in both. Thanks so much!
