ThimbleCreek

Although ThimbleCreek has switched towns in the past decade, its mission to inspire quilters remains the same.

Inspiration Aplenty [1]


Since it was first featured in Quilt Sampler 2000 magazine, ThimbleCreek has moved from Walnut Creek, California, to nearby Concord and has become a husband-wife partnership. Today co-owners Roxie and Joe Wood teach classes, design patterns, and stock quilting supplies with hopes of inspiring quilters to expand their skill sets.

Pillow Party [15]


Designer Roxie Wood makes quick, rectangular pillows in many different sizes for display at ThimbleCreek. To enhance a pillow, Roxie recommends embellishing the center panel, adding stitchery for an heirloom look or yo-yos to a 1930s print.
