Hello Thimble readers! It’s Hannah writing to you today. Chances are, if you took a class from Sharon in the past 18 months, you heard about a wedding. Well, the big day came and went in a happy blur on May 14th and I’m so excited to share a few (ok, maybe more than a few…) […]

Thank You – Ninth Anniversary Celebration and 2016 Student Art Show
The Tin Thimble’s student art show and anniversary celebration was last weekend, April 8th and 9th. We were blown away by all of the support we received.

Sharon’s Felted Wedding Dress: Sewing Meets Felting
In honor of this Valentine’s Day, we wanted to share one of Sharon’s biggest labors of love, which just happens to be a symbol of her love.

She had the pleasure of visiting family in the Pacific Northwest, specifically the San Juan islands.

A First Walk Through High Hand
Hey guys! It’s Lori today. To start out, I want to tell you that it’s shameful how little time I had spent at High Hand before I joined the Tin Thimble Team. I live in Sacramento, so it wasn’t an issue of distance. To be fair, I was a child for a lot of that […]
How to Make a Blue Haired Biologist
Do you remember our Instagram post from a little while ago? We asked you to guess why you thought I was obsessing over our dark blue wool. @mzdori was spot on by guessing that I was going to dye my hair that color. I really thought that was going to be tough one, but she […]
