Patterns are designed and produced in Sydney, Australia
I design quilt patterns, simple foundation paper piecing (FPP) blocks, and patterns for small sewing projects. They’re scrappy, modern, and beginner-friendly—with clear diagrams and instructions.
Digital patterns are available as a PDF download immediately after purchase. You’ll also receive an email with a download link so you can save it to your device. If you don't see it in your inbox, check your spam folder. If it isn't in your spam folder, please contact me and I will assist you.
Customers are limited to 5 downloads from each link so best to save the pattern file somewhere safe on your computer instead clicking on the link multiple times. Each time the link is opened, counts as a download.
Check your email’s spam or promotions folder first. If you still can’t find it, contact me via the Contact page and I’ll resend the file.

Yes—finished quilts or items made using Thimbles and Needles patterns can be sold in small quantities, as long as you credit “Pattern by Thimbles and Needles.” The patterns themselves may not be copied, resold, or shared.
Most of my quilt patterns are designed for advanced beginners and up. They’re carefully crafted to be approachable, with step-by-step diagrams and no unnecessary seams.
Foundation paper piecing patterns assume the maker has knowledge of the technique.
