Bonnie Hunter from Quiltville decided to do a linky on Monday about thimbles. Did this open up a can of worms!! I knew I had a few thimbles, but not this many.
I guess we all end up collecting more thimbles than we need simply because they get lost amongst all the other quilty stuff. I started my collection when I couldn't decide which thimble worked best for me. Standard thimbles can be too tall or too short. Too big or too small. For quilting or for general sewing. I have tried many and for various reasons, they have all worked out at some point.
My favourite ones are the TJ Lane and Roxanne thimbles. They are not only functional & comfortable, but also have the bling factor. Along with the thimbles, some of the containers used to store them. Lipstick holders are ideal for holding a selection.
Here are the ones I could find at the moment!!

Wow, you have some pretty thimbles and cases!
ReplyDeleteLove the little cases! I have a vintage beaded necklace with a bag for a thimble somewhere...got it at a boot sale in England!
ReplyDeleteI love my Roxanne thimble, too. I haven't gotten to try one of the TJ Lane thimbles, but they sound really nice.
ReplyDeleteI just love your filgre egg container. What a lovely thing to ad some bling to a project.
