Thimbles & Funerals, was: My Little Indulgence.

I was just reacting along the lines of our not being able to completely enjoy our indulgences because our heirs will sell them for 25¢ or sweep them in the trash. I'm just hoping our children will have one whale of a garage sale and a big party to celebrate their success. Unless, of course, I find a way to take it with me. Polly Polly, your heirs have memories attached to things you wouldn't expect. My mom has asked me what would I want to keep if she dies and was surprised at my choices. They were the things that bring back fond memories to me, but she didn't feel the same way about the items at all. Debra in VA See my quilts at http://community.webshots.com/user/debplayshere |

My Little Indulgence.
I have the silver one. I love it. I did get fitted at a quilt show, so I
can't help you with the sizing process. There is something about the silver that becomes even more comfortable when wearing for a while. The metal heats up and makes it even better. I hesitate to repeat what was told to me because I might get it wrong. OR I got suckered into the silver one :-) .....either way, I do love it. -- Kathyl (KJ) remove "nospam" before mchsi http://community.webshots.com/user/kathylquiltz "Connie" wrote in message et...

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! -- Happy quilting & quilty hugs!! Connie Connie, YES, exactly the same here! My fingers are very small. The best thimble I'd found was also those boil-first plastic finger-colored thingys. If that's also your current favorite, you will absolutely love the Roxanne. Like KJ mentioned, it feels like you're wearing a ring or something. You honestly forget about it, as it becomes an extension of your finger. Sherry Sherry Well, ya'll sold me! Are Roxanne booths common at most quilt shows?? Though they have those ring sizing kits, I'd be much more comfy at spending the $$ if I knew it was actually the right size. Do you think that there's much difference between models in terms of comfort/fit? I'm allergic to most metals - silver is the one I KNOW I'm not allergic to. Practically anything else and I blow up like some sort of freakish puffer fish! :/ -- Happy quilting & quilty hugs!! Connie I've started a FREE eZine ... and I've posted *LOTS* of free applique patterns! Check it out! http://sewverycreative.blogspot.com/ ----- It's BACK!! AND they APOLOGIZED! LOL! |

The silver seems to expand a bit when my fingers are hot and contract a bit when my fingers are cold. It's amazingly comfortable! -- Sandy in Henderson, near Las Vegas sfoster 1 (at) earthlink (dot) net (remove/change the obvious) http://www.sandymike.net |
