It was hard to get used to it, but I used it for a bit, then gave myself a break. Now I can not sew without it, and feel so close to her each time I sew anything. I have her beautiful thimble. She is specially close to me every day when I sew, and I thank her for the wonderful gifts she shared with me.

My mother could never understand how I can hand sew without a thimble. BTW, I looked up the TJ Lane thimbles and, mercy! They are lovely but at that price they ought to be the absolutely best thimbles in the world! Do they wear well? Mom always had a problem with the cap of the thimble wearing out and getting very thin. She would be quilting along and finally the tip of her thimble was thin enough in one of the dimples that the end of the needle went through, and then - OUCH! She had a basket of worn out thimbles with holes in the cap.The Calico Quilterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01772374749065425388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-52333192702751325862016-02-27T04:38:35.192-05:002016-02-27T04:38:35.192-05:00I never wore a thimble because when I do that fing...I never wore a thimble because when I do that finger sticks up in the air and isn't used. But when I'm really hand quilting and endured enough needle pricks I try again and usually end up putting bandaids on the quilting finger so the puffy part gets the needle prick.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13427354321048474574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-88953143360015397282016-02-26T18:20:50.453-05:002016-02-26T18:20:50.453-05:00Haha!

They each have their special "holders". One (inexpensive) I bought at a quilt show that is on a chain that goes around my neck. The other (expensive) I purchased from TJ at a quilt show, that attaches to my sewing basket. Where I sew they go all tucked into their respective "holders". Someday I'll splurge and buy one of her chatelaines that will house both of my thimbles. (By the way, very ingenious of you to use duct tape as a substitute.)<br /><br />Terryterryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18189795590208989901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-13358834375369995212016-02-26T10:47:51.798-05:002016-02-26T10:47:51.798-05:00TJ Lane is very good to work with.

Or, you get a jeweler to attach something to the top of the original thimble, thick would snap onto a chain that wear around your neck or to your Fitbit, to be repurposed as a sort of charm bracelet. But, I've been reading your blog for a year and I really want to know if you've ever thought of creating a pattern set for the various parts/designs on your hexie project.<br />Alicekane@frontiernet.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-85822909229436445952016-02-26T10:12:14.117-05:002016-02-26T10:12:14.117-05:00You can cut a little oval of template plastic and ...You can cut a little oval of template plastic and put it under the duck tape to keep the needle from going through.

Today my daughter, her best friend and I all pile into our van for a trip to Atlanta, GA for Anachrocon, an annual steampunk convention. I will take my steampunk 1870's style hexie project to go with my steampunk seamstress costume. Started the haxies as a con project to keep me busy between panels.
