Wow beautiful quilts my vote goes after much thought to Number 8;

I really enjoyed this Blog. I, too, have a ‘thing’ for thimbles. Years ago I had a collection of all sorts, china, porcelain, you name it I had one. I never used any of them to sew – except for the silver one my Mum bought me for my 40th. But I was always afraid of losing it so put it away somewhere safe. In the past 2 years, since starting to Patchwork, I have bought 3 thimbles. A metal wrap around one, a silicone with metal wrapped round it, and a Prym silicone (which I think you recomended!) – I keep the Prym in my pocket and often wear it on my finger. It is the most comfortable one and easy to use. Thank you.

I think the only thimble I own is a ceramic ‘Felixstowe’ one lol. I used to have a good callous when I was very young but now I get a hole in my finger from hand sewing, I might have to invest in that Prym one…

Now I love my leather thimbles, like shoes they come to the shape of your finger over time. Often forget I am wearing them and have been know to go on school run still wearing them!
