My Little Indulgence.

I bought a Roxanne thimble the other day. I am so proud of it I just
had to post. It's everything I'd
hoped it would be and honestly just an extension of my finger, so
comfortable and easy to use.

I was the one who never could find a thimble that stayed on, and I
tried them all. I'd finally resorted
to using double-sided tape under the thimble.

It is so nice to not have to chase the thimble all over the place
anymore.

They're expensive, by my standards, so this was a *real* luxury
purchase for me. I'll probably have
nightmares that my kids will put it out in a garage sale for twenty-
five cents someday. :-)

I love my Roxanne thimble. Be careful though...I wore mine to the grocery
store after my small group meeting. It's so comfortable that I forgot I was
wearing it.
Congratulations on your purchase. I'm glad you love it.

Sherry! How could you *say* such a thing? What a thought. Polly

Are you kidding? I've already left my family orders that I want to be
buried with my favorite notions and fabric! And of course, my SM!

Seriously, I have the same problem too. Apparently, my fingers are too
small for most thimbles so I've used the plastic ones (the tacky ones
that look like a real finger?). Those you boil in water until they melt
a bit so you can mold them to your finger. But since they're so cheap,
I end up not caring so much about them and losing them ...

I think I'll try a Roxanne - I've always heard great things about them!
'Sides, they're so PRETTY!

LOL!

Connie, If possible, you might wait to buy the Roxanne
until you go to a big quilt show. If there is a Roxanne
booth, you can be 'fitted' with the best size for you.
I like my Roxanne thimble fine, but I haven't done HQ
in over a year. I do have a special HQ project planned
for Winter.

Good for you! IMO it's not a luxury if it makes life so much easier. And
just tell them you need to be buried with it.

When I get to a place that has them so I can try them on, I am going to buy
one. I too have a terrible time finding a comfortable thimble.

I'd love to wait, but I don't know if I can ... my guild had to cancel
our upcoming (Feb '08) quilt show because the hotel backed out (even
after signing a contract AND receiving a deposit) at the last minute.


The other closest quilt show (though I don't know if if I've already
missed it) might be in Tallahassee ... about 2 hours away. Until I'm
done with my DVT therapy, I'm limited to an hour and a half away trips.


I think I'll go see when Tallahassee's show is ... an extra half hour
in the car won't kill me! 'Sides, a quilt show (which I've not been
to in over 2 years) is worth it - and just what the "doctor" ordered!


Thanks for the advice, Pat!

Congrats, Sherry. I've had mine for several years (Christmas present from
Mom), and I just love it.

Yes, it is an indulgence and yes, it is the best thimble ever made!

I have yet to use it for it's true purpose of hand-quilting, but it sure
comes in handy when it is time to sew laces on my daughters point shoes, or
to make any one of a number of costume 'adjustments' during competitions.

I had it fitted at a quilt show, I would never have been able to guess at my
size.
