The Golden Thimble's Craft House!
These pages are designed to give you access to lots of links about crafts and projects. Before I was a full time quilter, I was a crafter of many things. I think that if you are creative, it can take you anywhere you want to go. Being a crafter led me to being a quilter. There's no reason you can't do both! I just prefer quilting over crafting but around Christmas time and birthdays, it's always good to know how to do both. I hope these links will give you some ideas and free projects for that special gift.

I have, with difficulty, found instructions for Stapleless Paper Chains in two locations. One was rather confusing and lacking any photos or diagrams, while the other was a pdf that was impossible to locate a second time. I decided to attempt my own tutorial for it. So, here we go.
