| Here's what's new at Thimble Works!! We have added new Basic Shapes templates to our line of quiltmaking tools. I've used these for years in my Focus on Fabric workshop. It's a great way to create a one-of-a-kind wall quilt. Piece a simple background and capture the featured image in a shape that will be easy to applique by hand or machine. There are 5 basic shapes available; each will lend a different mood to your design. Each shape is offered in 7 or 8 sizes, giving you many options for creative design - even miniature work. Take a look at our Quilting Templates page to see how I use them. |

Sewing and Quilting Classes at Thimble Works
| "Vintage Moments" quilted by Jennifer Perdue |
| My daughter, Jen and I will be offering a variety of classes in my home studio. Many of the projects are based on our newest book, to be released in the fall. We've designed some great ideas for beginners and children, along with ideas that will please the more experienced quilter. Learn to sew while you make accessories, home dec. items and quilts. A few items will be stitched by hand, some with the sewing machine and we'll even use our longarm quilting machine. We're located in Bucyrus, Ohio, 60 miles north of Columbus. Get a group together and come have fun with us. For scheduling information email: anita@thimbleworks.com |
| Coming Soon!! Jen and I have been working for more than a year, putting together a book of sewing and quilting projects for young people. The book is scheduled for a Septemeber release. We have many classes available, here in our home studio or with your group. For a sneak peek at the kids at work click here. |
