In a world where life is busy and it keeps getting busier it's hard to find time to browse. Shops aren't always open when you're at leisure to think about your next quilting project. Finding the right pattern and then matching the different fabrics and cottons you need during store opening hours can be practically impossible. Busy Thimbles began in response to the difficulties inherent in a busy lifestyle and attempts to combine it with a love of quilting. We know that time is precious,and that it's better spent working on a quilt than trying to get to the shops. Our complete pre-packaged kits contain all the materials you need for a project including the pattern,fabrics, features,cottons and wadding.With fast shipping to anywhere in Australia,you can spend five minutes online and be working on your new project within a week of ordering it. If you prefer to do your own mixing and matching we have a variety of patterns suitable for novices,experts and everyone in between. Check out the Replica 18th Century quilt if you're looking for a challenge, or our jrlly rolls and books for a quick start to your project. Browse our extensive range of patchwork fabrics suitable for you, your home,your children or your grandchildren. Then order everything online and get quilting, or save your selections to a wish list and email these helpful suggestions to friends and family in time for Christmas.
