Happy August!

I hope you’ve been enjoying the sunshine and soaking up plenty of vitamin D. While summer is still in full swing, my mind is already drifting toward autumn—crisp mornings, cozy projects, and all the creative energy that comes with the season.

I’ve got a busy few months ahead with quilting markets, thread talks, and planning for fall crafts. There’s so much to share and look forward to!

Get Ready for Autumn with Savings

Fall is just around the corner, and what better way to get inspired than with these festive collage patterns by Laura Heine? They’re fun, creative, and just the right amount of spooky—perfect for sparking thoughts of pumpkin spice lattes, crisp leaves, and cozy sweaters.

Laura Heine’s patterns are some of my personal favourites. I love the playful, imaginative vibe they bring to any project.

Tool Spotlight

Grip-Fit Seam Ripper, Tracing Wheel, and Awl

I absolutely love these tools—they’ve quickly become staples in my sewing kit. If you spend a lot of time with a seam ripper or marking tool in hand, you’ll appreciate how much these reduce hand strain. The ergonomic handles make a big difference, especially during longer sessions.

Grip-Fit Seam Ripper: Sharp, precise, and easy to hold. It makes removing stitches quick and clean, and the textured tip is perfect for brushing away stray threads.

Grip-Fit Tracing Wheel: A game changer. It comes with three interchangeable wheels—smooth, serrated, and blunt—easily switched by turning the handle. There’s even a storage spot in the cap for one wheel.

Grip-Fit Awl: Whether you’re piercing fabric or guiding it under the machine, the grip feels great in your hand. It’s one of those tools you don’t know you need until you have it.

Support Cats in Need This August

For the entire month of August, 100% of proceeds from the sale of our Cat Needle Minders will be donated to the Cat Therapy and Rescue Society, a registered Canadian charity focused on:

• Special needs cats
• Cats from overcrowded shelters
• Abandoned cats
• Owner surrenders at risk of euthanasia

Every minder you purchase directly supports their life-saving work. It’s a small tool that can make a big difference.

*If you purchase the needle minder only, I’ll credit back the package shipping cost—this item fits in a standard envelope.

Danielle News

Long before I became the owner of Cindy’s Thread Works, I was deep in the process of publishing my first novel—and I’m thrilled to share that it will be released on September 16th, 2025!

Written under my pen name Elle King, You, Me & Stars is a Young Adult coming-of-age romance set on beautiful Vancouver Island. It’s a heartfelt, emotional story filled with friendship, first love, and a touch of angst—perfect for teens and anyone who enjoys a character-driven read.

Pre-orders are now available through Cindy’s Thread Works. As a dyslexic person, accessibility is very important to me—so You, Me & Stars is also available in a dyslexic-friendly edition.

If you have a teen in your life who loves to read, or if you enjoy a heartfelt story that tugs at the heartstrings, I’d love for you to check it out.
