Wrapping up 2020

 We've got short hours again this week and plenty of counting ahead of us as we wrap up the year, and prepare for our stock take and paperwork avalanche!  We'll be closed for inventory January 1st - 4th.  

Holiday Hours

 

We hope your holiday preparations are in full swing, now matter how different they may be from your typical plans!  We are happy to be wrapping up 2020 and have lots of projects to finish up before the year comes to a close - not to mention a bit of stock to count and tidying up to accomplish!  We will be closed for a few days over the holidays, but the website is always open!  

Happy Stitching!

THANKSGIVING HOLIDAY HOURS

We are limiting our hours again this week as we encourage everyone to stay home and help slow the spread of COVID within our community and limit our personal contacts.  We are also taking an extra day to be home with our families...although that may seem contradictory to what alot of you have been doing....some of us have been heading out to work most days so this is a chance to relax and and enjoy some time at home - maybe dust off a sewing project or two?!  The website is available 24/7 and we are here for curbside pick-up!

A new little quilt, economy block or square in a square set on point is almost finished - we'll be building a few fabric kits if you're a fan of blue and brown like we are.  We've got some great holiday fabrics in store and on the website and if you're hanging on to these last days of fall, this table runner kit is just the thing!

Store Update and Winter Red & Green

 

Well...it's been a week already don't you think?  With our wet and windy weather, the early evening darkness and our latest COVID restrictions, I guess there's nothing much you can do but sew right?!  

Our path to reopening will continue to evolve and with our website upgrade, we hope you'll consider that method of shopping for increased access to our fabrics and a great option for staying safe as we continue to be limited by COVID restrictions.   We now offer a choice of curbside pickup for online purchases and we can accommodate a larger range of hours for curbside delivery.

We are dialing back on our 'open' hours this week - hoping to keep our team, extended families and you - our customers safe and healthy through this winter season.  We are expanding our options for individual shopping appointments. 

 We will continue to update our shop hours here and on our website so please check back for current information!   If you are in need of a basic - spool of thread, pre-packaged batting or other sewing staple that we stock, please give us a call and we'll do our best to accommodate a speedy curbside pick up! 

We are open for walk-in shopping 

 Tuesday - Saturday 

1:00 pm - 3:00 pm

We have a few of these Winterland Advent calendar panels available - just fold up the pockets and fill them up!  You're not late yet!  These are listed on our website! 

Hope you are warm and dry and tucked in safely with some stitching!

Here are some of the latest additions to our shelves (and website!).  

Indigo & Madder

And a few new bold and bright Australian prints from M&S Textiles these really add some color pop! 

Hope this change in our weather is all you need to get reacquainted with your sewing projects!  Happy stitching!

New Goods and Shop Hours

We've added this group of great reproduction prints recently - Walnut Creek by Julie Hendricksen for Windham Fabrics, and they are on the website.  We also have the stack of 5 inch squares if you want to have a little bit of the entire collection - these are great for English Paper Piecing and applique shapes!  

We finished up a new sample quilt - featuring a pack of precut Tonga batik strips that get you off to a quick start for a fast finish with limited cutting!  We've got this combination as a kit, or packs of precut strips if you have a different favorite strip friendly project in mind.  We added a border to this project to make it a bit larger and backed it with flannel for a perfect fall couch quilt.  

And of course - some perfect project inspiration and fresh ideas are always an option with Quiltmania books and then some new choices from Jen Kingwell too.  These books offer a wide range of style and technique options ranging from applique and english paper piecing techniques to the hand-piecing work that Jen favors.

Store Hours and New Fabric

We caught the afternoon sunlight on this tree across the street from the shop - if you pop by soon, you might find the leaves still on it and the pavement dry!  But then again, more rain means more time for stitching right?!

The latest issue of Quiltfolk is on the shelf - the subject is Family rather than a geographical focus for this issue.  It makes for a great rainy day read!  We've also got some other new Quiltmania books and quilt project books ready to inspire you for some winter sewing!  

 

Some of or most recent additions to the fabric shelves cover all the options - bright and bold as well as lighter florals - some holiday options too.  One of our upgrades to the website - is a search feature so you can find these goodies by the Collection name or 'Holiday' for your Halloween and Christmas favorites!

New Hours

We are taking some time to reevaluate our shop practices and consider what our new path will look like in terms of operating hours and offerings.  Finding a balance between what works for the shop and our modified personal lives with work from home, online school and the various other changes we are all facing means it isn't business as usual.   The relocation of our local homeless shelter to the adjacent city block, along with the state mandates on occupancy levels and mask wearing, COVID sanitizing and social distancing protocols all impact our ability to operate comfortably.  

Our path to reopening will continue to evolve and with our website upgrade, please consider that tool for increased access to our products.   We will continue to update our shop hours here and on our website so please check back for current information!

Good Tidings by Jo Morton

We've added these new woven plaids and stripes in bold colors and neutrals - they're even on our new expanded website!!  This new collection is from Alison Glass for Andover Fabrics - perfect for home dec and mixing into quilt projects too!   The latest arrivals from Quiltmania were unboxed yesterday, and looks like I'll be reordering soon...is it too early to put something under the Christmas tree for yourself?

Happy Stitching!  

Did you Know Mask Making Is A Thing....

Yep, we have a kit for that!  If you're looking for a way to speed up your mask-making endeavors, be sure to check out our die-cut Face Mask Kits!  All fabric and interfacing has been pre-cut with the precision of a die and is ready for you to stitch up! Each kit includes everything you need to make four masks including adhesive backed nose bars, sew-in interfacing, flat elastic and extra fabric should you prefer fabric ties!  

We've included batiks for higher thread count options and paired up some fun fabrics too - just another way to keep things interesting while you sew!  Each kit combination is unique and some include quieter prints if understated is more your look! 

At the moment, we're well stocked with 1/4 inch elastic in a few colors and flavors, so stop by if you're ready for a restock on that.  

Once we have an adequate supply of precut mask kits we'll get these up on the website - until then, if you're interested, give us a call or email or stop by during open hours Friday 1-4 and Saturday 11-2!

We've added a local pick up option so you can arrange for curbside pick up more easily!  And of course, the website is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and no masks are required!  Take a look and let us know what you think.    www.twothimbles.com

As our fall weather begins it seems like the right time for flannel and quilts!  We sent a box of quilts off to Oregon to be passed on to those who have lost so much in the recent bout of wildfires.  So we're working on some fresh shop samples and bindings to keep our walls covered with display quilts.

Wildfire Donation Quilts

Our latest additions to the flannel wall include these plaids, "Dad Plaids" from Windham Fabrics.  Perfect for pajamas and rag quilts and of course quilt backs too.  

Dad Plaids

And this cute combination below - setting the mood for wintery weather "Little Red" by Meags & Me for Clothworks Fabrics.  Time to plan ahead for some rainy sewing weather and enjoy our beautiful fall days! 

Happy Stitching!

We're planning ahead!

We are planning ahead and we feel some things can safely be put on the calendar...Christmas and the Winter holiday season is coming!  Not to mention our rainy season right?  Anyway, it's always a good time for sewing and stitching and here are some of our latest winter arrivals.  Hope you will be inspired to get some holiday gift making and home decorating underway!
