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.

This is a one-afternoon project! I liked how she used the binding technique from quilting on the needle. It gave me ideas on using this technique on another project I have planned.

Heidi does a lovely job of explaining her techniques. I've made one needle case already and have subsequently used her techniques in several other projects. I love being able to re-watch the video to refresh my memory. Many thanks!
