~Thimbles~

One of my friends on the HGTV forum is having a no-sew thimble block swap using the pattern from Sindy Rodenmayer's FatCat Patterns (with Sindy's permission, of course ;-) ). We are using oriental prints. After she swaps the blocks, we can finish the edges of all our blocks ourselves~ I like that because then I won't have a mix of buttonhole stitch and blanket stitch or whatever. I'm not sure what I should do for the edges yet~what would you do? We used raw edge fusible applique and everyone was supposed to cut out the 'window' in the thimble. I used a lot of different orientals because not very many swappers signed up. I'm looking forward to a cute little thimble wall hanging for my sewing room. ;-) It's going to go right above my thimble collection. :-)) Although I'm not very handy at using a thimble, I sure do love them! LOL Do you have a sewing related collection? (besides fabric & patterns) LOL :-)) I'd love to hear about it!

Until next time~

Happy Stitchin'!
