Welcome to the Thimblelady’s Online Quilting Store! Let's go shopping...

My passion is fine hand quilting and appliqué without pain! My methods, my products, my innovations and my classes are all aimed at helping you sew beautifully and pain-free! And now in addition to my online store I have a quilt shop in Thornleigh, Sydney.

Hand Quilting, Needleturn Appliqué, Jacket Making and Magic Square Piecing Classes

Come and join me for one of my classes. I keep the numbers small so that everyone gets all the help they need to succeed. My teaching focus is always skill building whether it’s a quilting or an appliqué technique class or a quilt or other project class. You’ll learn important skills you can use in your other projects.

Come and join the Thimblelady’s Fabric Club

I have begun designing and producing my own exclusive lines of quality quilting and appliqué fabrics. And no, they won’t be expensive! We pay too much in Australia and my aim is to provide good quality quilting and appliqué fabrics at affordable prices - you won't find any junk in my shop. I'll have the finest cotton and silk materials for quilt and garment making. To take the best advantage of my fabrics come and join my fabric club where you’ll only pay $12 per metre plus postage (if you need it delivered).
