             Hi, and welcome to Thistledown & Co. Thanks for stopping by.
Looking for inspiration? I design quilt patterns and sewing patterns to share my passion for stitching with you.  Some of my quilt patterns and projects are playful and whimsical, while others are more sedate and sophisticated. I hope you'll find just the right quilt pattern for yourself.

You'll find quilt patterns of all types, including my popular paper doll quilt patterns, patterns for pieced quilts, applique quilt patterns, wool stitching projects, bag patterns, and you'll also find lots of other fun, useful, creative, and quilty things on my site! 

Besides my quilt patterns, a couple of especially popular products are my book....
Quilter's Q & A 
- answers to your most important quilting questions.
It is  compact, with fully laminated pages to write in with dry erase markers. It has been a customer favorite and I'm happy to say it's back in stock ready to ship. This link will take you to the order page.
 
You'll also love
my versatile Whisperlite tracer foundation fabric. It is a fantastic, ultra lightweight foundation for your quiltmaking.  Use it instead of muslin for string or foundation pieced quilts. It doesn't add bulk or heaviness to your string quilt and there is no need to remove it. Here's the link for Whisperlite

Think of all the time you'll save. Use Whisperlite instead of paper for paper-pieced quilts. The Whisperlite foundation fabric will stabilize any bias edges and no tearing out paper when you're done.
