I get a really sore finger when sewing binding on or doing EPP. Which in turn limits the amount of hand sewing I can do. I’ve tried plastic t…

You aren’t aloneIf I see a pattern I like then I make a mini quilt too. Sometimes that is as far as it gets but occasionally I make something bigger,usually for Project Linus. Your Gail Lawther will be stunning if the mini is anything to go by!

Thank you Abigail for sharing your preview of the show. The exhibits look wonderful. Thank you also, for picking mine to show in your blog, I feel honoured x

It’s a pleasure! The theme was interpreted in so many different ways, which is what is great about a theme, and I wanted to give wide spread of quilts. I still have a lot more photos I didn’t put up – but thinking about it can we ever really have too many quilts?!

thanks for this review. I’ve yet to find a thimble I can sew with and had wondered if these would be the answer. I’m going to give them a try

Thank you Chris. I bought a pack of these because of your Product Review. THEY ARE BRILLIANT!!! They are everything you said… they work, they stay put and, yes, you can wash your hands and they still work. Best £8 I have spent in a long time.

Thanks Sue for letting me know. I have to say ‘I LOVE THEM’, and I have to ask, did you wash your hands whilst wearing it just to see if it did stay on? Or by accident ?

Haha… by accident, forgot it was on!
