The Woolen Needle

Transported Back in Time [1]


Hand-dyed wool and reproduction cottons at The Woolen Needle in historic Williamsburg, Iowa, remind crafters of a simpler era. The shop has supplies for quilting, rug hooking, penny rugs, and punch-needle projects.

Bountiful Harvest Color Option [15]


Add personality with pattern instead of texture. Quilt tester Laura Boehnke used reproduction prints from Silk Road collection by Benartex [16]. For a quicker finish—and a super sleek look—Laura machine-appliquéd each shaping using color-coordinated thread. To keep things minimal, she did not add vines to the corners.

Contact The Woolen Needle [17] to purchase a copy of Fall/Winter 2010 issue of Quilt Sampler magazine. Issues are also available at your local quilt shop, on newsstands, and online [18].
