I thought I would update you on my project it is coming along nicely I managed to get all the pieces cut and tacked together.
Well I wasn't going to show you all 129.
I did stumble on a problem my finger was getting sore so I thought I needed one of these.
Or maybe one of these
Don't tell anyone but yes I am a secret thimble collector and here comes another problem which one to choose. Believe it or not I spent a happy time deciding you see each one has a little story/memory attached and I got carried away in memory mode. I did however choose one in the end, and it's a tribute to my sis and fellow blogger who bought it for me on a barging holiday. It is in the top thimble rack second shelf down second from the right, it came from East Marston circa late 1970's early 1980's remember it sis?.
Anyway on with the progress the thimble has helped me speed along.
One cube down lots more to come.
And there you are a sneak preview of how they are supposed to look I'm really chuffed as we say here of how it's all coming together. I will keep you all posted on the progress.
I love your thimble collection, Paula. I have a few from the days I used to do crewel embroidery as a hobby.
ReplyDeleteYour geometric design is fabulous! I can't wait to see the final product.
Thank you Pat I haven't collected any new ones for years but i am always on the look out when I am away on holiday. I am excited about the finished project as my other sis and fellow blogger reminded me I made one for her son who is now 39yrs old.
DeleteLooking good! I don't remember the thimble, but your collection is fabulous.
ReplyDeleteIt was my birthday you bought one and Pam bought another one they were from one of the little canal shops.
