A while back, lots of quilters were showing their thimbles on their blogs. At the time, I could not get a decent picture of my favourite thimble. I don’t know what possessed me, but when Smudge was sitting quietly on the couch yesterday afternoon, I put my thimble on his paw. He didn’t even look at it, just sat there posing!
So here’s a picture of my favourite thimble. It’s a TJ Lane thimble and I love it! I have one of the Thimblelady cone thimbles as well, which is super for quilting. But the TJ Lane thimble is the thimble I wear when appliqueing and piecing.
It’s still rather cool here at night and during the morning hours, so we often have the heat on for a bit. The cats both love lying above the heating unit with the warm air blowing up on them. Yesterday, though, we got pictures of both of them in almost the identical position just a few hours apart.
First Lester had the spot. You can see his fur blowing in the “breeze”.
A couple of hours later, there was Smudge — enjoying the same warm air!


LindaI dont use a thimble when piecing or appliquing, I should, cause I got scars to remind me to wear a thimble… I have a silver thimblelady thimble for hand quilting and I love it.. I love Luixin, she is the nicest friendliest lady you’d ever meet, she is in my online quilty group so I see her a few times a year, so generous with her time too!these cats of yours are smart critters, thats exactly where I’d be hanging out if I was a puss puss.. our cat lays directly on the floor where the a/c vents hit it!
