Hi, and welcome to my website for Thistledown & Co. Thanks for stopping by. Did you find your way here via the Fall issue of Quilt Sampler?  My "Whoo's Hanging Out" project appears on page 72. Here on my site, you'll find that pattern, along with quilt patterns of all types, including interactive paper doll quilt patterns, patterns for pieced quilts, applique quilts, wool projects, bag patterns and you'll find lots of other fun and useful creative quilty things! 

Have you ever tried knitting with quilt batting? I did some demos at a show recently as I have three patterns that I designed using this fun and eco-minded concept. They are called Earthknits. Two are purse patterns and one is an easy accent pillow.  Hop over to my tips and how-to page to learn more.

You can scroll down to find links to the rest of the site pages or use the navigation links at the top of the pages.
This is also home to the Rippity do-da ~ the amazing new battery powered seam ripper. You'll want one for your sewing kit and to give as a great little quilt gift to your stitching friends. When you've got a lot of seam ripping to do it's the best seam ripper there is.

Need a fun and easy kids quilt?  I just added another delightful quilt pattern that includes a pre-printed fabric panel. It's called Color My Garden It's not only a cuddly child's quilt, it also engages them in fun, creative, wholesome play....and it's easy!    Better get stitching!
