Reminder! Kimberbell's The Stitching Hour 2-Day event comes to Thimbles this week on August 15 + 16!

Join us to make three frightfully fun projects and five fa-boo-lous ornaments for the included tabletop tree. Stitch the Haunted House Gift Card Holder on Pink Plaid Leather, then make a Monster Stash Zipper Pouch with a striped zipper “scar!” The Batty Candy Wrap holds your favorite treat with black Micro Velvet and foldable wings. At the same time, Booella, Twinklewing, Sadie Spider, Pumpkin Petals, and Boo-tiful Stitches are charming additions to the light-up tree.

Some friendships are meant to build something special. ❤️

Tammy and Jane became fast friends years ago, and in 2004 they turned a shared dream into Thimbles Quilts. Twenty-two years later, their beautiful shop has become so much more than a quilt store—it's a gathering place where creativity, learning, and friendship come together every day.

Located in a charming 1870 building in the heart of Lockport, Illinois, Thimbles Quilts is your destination for beautiful fabrics, BERNINA and Baby Lock sewing machines, inspiring classes, and a welcoming community that feels like home.
Whether you're starting your first quilt or have been sewing for decades, there's always a seat for you at Thimbles.

📍 Visit us in historic Lockport, IL—we'd love to meet you.
