Fun Sewing Facts
Thimbles were worn on fingers or thumbs, hence the Old English name "thymel," or "thumb stall."
The first thimbles were conical and fashioned from leather. Later, simple bands that left the fingertip exposed were also made — examples of these have been found in the Roman ruins of Herculaneum and Pompeii.
The English were making dome-shaped thimbles from the early 1500s.
Did you Know?
We still have some of our cloth baby books in stock! These are great gifts for the grandbabies, either as a present or a "just because" gift. Plus they are SUPER easy to make, if you can sew a straight line around a rectangle you can make a cloth book, we promise, which makes this a GREAT sewing project for your little sewers.

If you are in the Masterpiece BOM
these are the wide backs we have available for your BOM. They are 118" wide, so you will need about 3.5 yards of which ever you choose. Because this BOM finishes as a 108" square, traditional 108" wide back fabrics will not be wide enough to back this. If you want to piece your back, you will need 10 yards of 44" wide yardage. This fabric is first come first serve, so let us know which you would like.

Our newest sample maker, Anita, worked really hard on this sample! It's her very first quilt, and isn't it just GORGEOUS?
If you're a fan of teals you have to come and take a look at the sample in person. As always, pictures do not do the fabric justice.
Still in stock:

We have some of the panels(and the matching zipper packs) to make these super cute bags! 1 panel makes EIGHT bags, four large and four small, and the material is a very nice canvas so you don't have to worry about interfacing, ripping or tearing. Make up a couple bags(its SUPER fast!), and throw your notions in for your next sewing class. You could even add straps to make a really cute and sturdy purse!
