Shop Hours

 It's hard to keep up with the blur of events let alone know what day it is right?!  We have a couple of calendars left if you need one!  

We're almost done counting all the things, and ready to wade into a fresh pile of projects to start for 2021...finishing projects seems so 2020 and it looks like we'll still have plenty of time to stay home and sew.  

Happy Stitching!

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! 

Two Thimbles News

 We have a new Website!!! 

It's been a long process and the learning curve hasn't been too pretty, but we think the new features and the additional inventory make for a rather remarkable update!  We have lots more inventory to add and some fun new projects to photograph so we'll be adding more to the site in the coming weeks.  

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

We are open by appointment Tuesday and Wednesday for individual shopping

As our local COVID numbers continue to restrict business activity and school operations we have limited hours.  We feel it is important to be part of the solution and want to do our best to help mitigate the ongoing spread of COVID-19.   We are transitioning to new school schedules and will reset our shop hours once we have an idea about our homeschool obligations.  

We are open for walk-in shopping on Thursday and Friday from 1:00 - 4:00pm 

and

 Saturday 11:00 - 2:00pm.  

There are a few appointments available on these days as well for individual shopping, if openings are available they will be reflected on the calendar in the link.  Please use the website booking tool to reserve a spot.   

We have implemented a few changes to our shop layout and business practices to help maintain social distancing, upgraded sanitizing efforts and require that all customers wear facial coverings for the duration of their visit.  In-store retail visits are encouraged to adhere to the recommended 30 minute limit per Washington State safe-start guidelines.  If you would like assistance with your project or selecting fabrics please consider making an appointment to ensure staff availability.  

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!

With our current level of smokey air due to wildfires a bit of new reading material and project inspiration might be what you need?  We can set you up with curbside pick-up, just give us a call at 360 715-1629 ~ Here are a few of our latest arrivals!  

We also have the latest  book from Jo Morton, Tried and True and if you're ready to bring some gardening to the sewing room - Petal + Stem by Amy Friend has some wonderful modern floral blocks for foundation paper piecing.  If it's just some bright and fabulous fabric that you need to see, the New Vintage collection by Kathy Doughty has arrived.  It plays well with several other fabrics on our shelves so there are options to build something fun!  

 And for subdued florals in the 1800's flavor pink and chocolate always works - this collection from Paula Barnes, Madison Square covers the range of dark to light pretty well.  

Let us know if we can help with a bit of fabric enabling!  We are still doing curbside pick up and mailing out daily!  Nothing to do but stay inside and sew right now.  Enjoy!

Here is a little quilt show offering - a few of the projects our customers have been sharing with us - what an amazing variety and so much fun to see these projects come to completion.  What a fun show this would be to see in person right?!!  Thank you for letting us share in your makes - thanks to Rachel, Darene, Caroline, Teresa and Carol for letting us share your photos with everyone.  Keep on stitching!  

Rachel's mountain scene 

Rachel was working from memory and a photo to recreate a familiar scene - pretty special gift completed!

Darene's great granny quilt

Darene put her collection of reproduction fabrics to great use in this rendition of a Great Granny Quilt from the book Great Granny Squared - by Lori Holt (Bee in my Bonnet).  The fat eighth cuts we send out monthly for our Sampler Club were the perfect way to use up some variety and mix and match the fabrics for fun block combinations.  This project or any other that uses 2.5 inch strips is a great option to use up some of your stash of these sampler cuts (just in case you've been stashing these cuts away)!

Caroline's quilt

Here's a spectacular walling hanging - Caroline's 2nd quilt...can you believe that?  Just look what a little quarantine does for someone's creative skills!  

Teresa's book club display

Teresa has time to read and quilt and someone in her book club has a pretty spectacular display fence begging for a quilt show!  These quilts showcase a bit of talent and some fine finishing!

Teresa's quatro quilt

Carol's zen geese quilt

Carol is counting up to 19 for her quarantine efforts - here are a couple of her recent finishes.  The quilt below was inspired by one on an Alex Anderson show - and really offered some practice on quilting.  Carol participated in one of the last classes we offered before COVID hit, and it looks like Tonya Alexander of Stash Lab Quilts has another student off and running!

Happy Stitching!

We've restocked some basic linen/cotton canvas perfect for backgrounds and added texture in quilts, and we have more options in cotton toweling annnnd...the latest coordinating 60 inch goods from Moda are fabulous too!  We love all the projects that designer Jenelle Kent of Pieces to Treasure has created and we have her book in stock!  These toweling fabrics (and xtra wide goods) require just a simple hem and you've got a dining room makeover with a simple tablecloth and napkin set!  Or you can get fancy and choose a great applique motif for a table runner project.  Either way you'll enjoy the fresh look for your table.  

Happy Stitching!!

  

Open Hours and New Fabric

Open for drop-in shopping!
Thursday and Friday
1:00pm - 4:00pm

We are open by appointment Tuesday through Saturday for individual shopping (it's okay to bring a friend!) from 10:00am - 4:00pm (except as noted above Thursday/Friday).

Please use this link to reserve a time for individual in-store shopping that suits your schedule.  

As our local COVID numbers continue to limit our ability to move to the next phase of opening we will maintain this blend of available hours.  We are excited for re-opening but want to do so in a smart way and do our part to help mitigate the ongoing spread of COVID-19.  Now that we will be juggling home school sessions again this fall we'll see what a new work schedule will look like.  

We have implemented a few changes to our shop layout and business practices to help maintain social distancing, upgraded sanitizing efforts and require that all customers wear facial coverings for the duration of their visit.  Shopping visits are limited to 30 minutes per state requirements and since we have limited staffing available, please reserve an appointment if you would like assistance with your project or shopping choices.  We appreciate everyone doing their part to take care of our community.

We are starting a few new projects in between mask making....sound familiar?  And we've seen a few customer finishes of late as well!  We've had requests for backings and batting and bindings as everyone wraps up a COVID project or two...and requests for something new and fresh to supplement and re-inspire...but I have yet to hear "I've run out of fabric"!  

We have some new batiks in stock - great for quilts, and for masks!  

And some beginnings of red and green are filling the shelves in the reproduction room.  These subdued prints are darker shades and great for stash building or for holiday projects!

Happy Stitching!

Treats for Stitcher's

If you're in that last minute scramble for gift ideas, quick finish projects or stocking stuffers - we can set you up!  We've got some great Tulip needle packs, some fun fat quarter boxes (yep, they do look like chalk all rolled up!), some cross-stitch kits and all kinds of fabrics - it's never too late to stitch up a personalized pillow case, pencil case or tote bag right?

We have some great lavender ribbon that takes about 10 minutes to turn into a great sachet gift!  Add some handmade soaps or gourmet tea and you've got a great hostess gift or one size fits all item!  Here are a couple of our latest additions - some skull candy and cute and bright dogs - these don't glow in the dark, but certainly look like they could.  The 2nd group below is digital prints from Hoffman - the Mastery collection which is part of the Hoffman Challenge collection this year - anyone working on something for that event?

We're open regular hours until Saturday December 24th, hope you're enjoying all the holiday madness and stitching away!
