Needle book and pin cushion in German brickwork, DMC on evenweave. I took at class at Beltaines 2026 to learn the stitch; the needle book came as a kit in the class. For variety and interest, I reversed the colors to make the pincushion. Although the pin cushion was not complete at Pennsic, the needle book earned Keepers of Athena’s Thimble’s canvaswork bead.
