I recently went on a retreat.
YEAH ME!
YEAH ME!
Took several projects to work on but did not FINISH anything.
BOO HISS!
BOO HISS!
Then I succumbed to peer pressure and started a little thimble quilt.
WHY NOT?
Everyone else was.
WHY NOT?
Everyone else was.
The problem with this was everyone one else was happy sewing a pack or
two together, adding borders and FINISHING something.
But NO,
I thought it would be fun to buy a new set of thimbles
each time I go to a show.
each time I go to a show.
I could keep adding on to make a bigger quilt.
At this rate, how many packs do you think it would
take to make a
QUEEN SIZE
thimble quilt.

If you want to make one small quilt or just start

So once again I have another project started. The upside is that
I have something
to shop for at every quilt show
for YEARS to come.
It is amazing the trouble that peer pressure
causes no matter your age!

I love new projects! I have lots of them myself.
A thimble quilt is totally on my long term to do list. What a great idea to pick up some fabric along your travels to add to your thimble quilt. What size are they?
And I love that you went to a retreat and didn't finish anything. I did that recently too. I did get a lot accomplished, just nothing finished.
So sweet! I've always called those tumblers… but thimbles sounds so much better. I love the colors you chose!
My dear friend was with you at the retreat and she is the Queen of finishing projects!
I like the look of alternating lights and darks and I, too, have several packs of thimbles!
A queen size with those mini tumblers would be so amazing!
I went to primitive Gatherings looking for packages of pre-cut tumblers but didn't see any. Do you have a link to them I would hate to have to cut all those out! Yours looks great! Mary

You mean you "buy" them? Like a charm pack or a jelly roll, just buy "thimbles"? I've made a scrappy 3-1/2" tumbler quilt. LOVED it. So is this different?
