Template Stamps & Other Products


Template stamps are rubber stamps that have both the cutting line and piecing line. Single stamps are great for charm quilts. It saves tracing templates over and over. The sets can be used for the enclosed patterns, or use your imagination and make several different blocks from the same set. Use the preinked fabric ink pads for best results. Brown can be seen on the back of most fabrics. White is available for dark fabrics. Reinkers are available for both pads. You can usually get at least one quilt out of a preinked pad.




3" Triangle Add On

Churn Dash Stamp Set
3 3/4" block
So darn cute, who can resist making these blocks by the dozen? This 3 stamp set can be used in many ways, to make other blocks. These blocks will match up with the Mini Civil War Sampler blocks, but are NOT the same pieces as the sawtooth star set of stamps.



Baby Block Stamp
2" x 1 3/4"
Wow! You will be making these cute blocks as quick as a wink with this stamp. Pattern is included.



Log Cabin Stamp
This new little stamp will revolutionize your "cabin" building. The stamp has all the lines to cut for the entire block, so one stamp does it all! The blocks have 3 "rounds" and finish to 4 3/4", which will match with the Carpenter's Star set of stamps. I loved hand piecing my sample. It was so easy that I could piece it in my sleep. But, it can be machine pieced as well. Remember to purchase a white ink pad if you are using very light lights as the brown ink will shadow through.



Aunt Hattie's Hexagons

This is the set I used for the Civil War Mini Sampler and the Nine Patch Civil War Sampler.



Washout Graphite Pencils
Cindy searched everywhere and finally found these fabulous wash out pencils for marking light fabrics. The best part is that they can be sharpened in an electric pencil sharpener.



Lady Finger Thimbles
I love good working thimbles and have been searching for one that will hold the base of the needle in place as I quilt and hand piece. The "lady finger" open top is the first thimble I have found that can replace the sometimes shallow dimples of my old open top thimbles and at a good price. And good news, there are only 3 sizes to fit! A small is the same as a 5/6. The medium is a 7/8. The large is a 9/10. These thimbles are rubber coated to keep the needle lodged on the side where it belongs. Try one and you'll be coming back for more.



Valdani "Handwork in the Smokies Collection"
This brand new set of colors is like the paint box you got in school. You won't know which color to choose first. Cindy chose these colors to reflect her home in TN. The grape and cranberry colors are new Valdani colors. They blend beautifully with the red/purple and bright blue purple. The other colors are burnt orange, gold, brown, red and 2 greens. You will love using them. Cindy uses one color for stem stitch and then chooses another color to stem stitch just above the first color. The look is GREAT! Try it!



Clover Embroidery Threader
You'll wonder what you did without this little gadget! My sister found it for me and I have been using it now for all threading of that lovely Valdani thread. The metal flat threading end fits nicely in the Chenille 24 needles that I love to use for embroidery. No more biting of the end of the thread or tearing your hair out trying to thread your embroidery thread. Order two of them, they are that wonderful!



Wool Needle Keeper
You have loved these little keepers since my sister, Gayle, has started making them for me. Now you can purchase one finished by my sister. They are made from real wool, not wool felt, and are hand stitched by Gayle, not made in China! :) They will hold your package of needles, thread, thimble and pins. I use mine all the time when traveling with my hand piecing. You'll want more than one! Please let us decide the color.



Richard Hemming Needles
These are the wonderful size 10 sharps that Cindy recommends and uses for all her hand piecing. You won't use any other brand, once you try these!



Clover Gold Eye Quilting Needles
As recommended in her book, Tiny Stitches, these are the only quilting needles Cindy uses. Size 12 is the only size we carry. They are gold eye for easier threading.



Clover Patchwork Pins
These pins are Cindy's favorite for any of her hand piecing projects. They are long, very thin with a glass head.



Clover size 24 Gold Eye Chenille Needles
These needles are fabulous for Big Stitch and doing stitching with the perle cotton that Cindy recommends for her embroidered medallion quilts. They don't drag like other brands and will thread easier with their big gold eyes.



Coats & Clark Dogwood Quilting Thread
This is a fabulous color of thread to piece your scrappy quilts! (Yes, Cindy uses Quilting Thread to hand piece those beautiful quilts!) This color blends so wonderfully with so many fabrics. Cindy uses this thread to piece almost all her hand pieced quilts.



Preinked Fabric Stamp Pads
These stamp pads are to be used in conjunction with the template stamps. A permanent ink that can be used on the back side of the fabric. Will not bleed or show through. Pads are available in brown (for most of your stamping needs) and white (for darker fabrics).



Refill Ink
The preinked stamp pads last a very long time. But for those of you that LOVE to stamp and use your pads all the time, you can purchase fabric ink to replenish your pads. Refill ink comes in white and brown.
