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:
