Hello Ruth,
RH>I collect thimbles too. It started out when we were stationed in
RH>California.  At the end of our time there, we were out one night,
RH>picking up little souveniers.  I looked at brass, bells and a fewother
RH>things but the money just wasn't there. Then Steve and I saw some
RH>thimbles and decided that would be appropriate for me since I sew a lot
RH>(at the time it was mostly making clothes).  So, we got that in 1984.
RH>Since then, I've added about 175 more but still collecting.  I have
RH>them in a lot of different mediums--pewter, brass, wood, ceramic, etc.
RH>In Switzerland I got a couple with narrow (1/4") bands of petit point
RH>worked around them.
I have only collected in Mo. , Arkansas, Indiana, and Illinois, but I
have quite a collecting including a crystal cut one and of cours
e wooden and porcelain , with grandma, mom and so on I even
have several precious moments.
eRH>Since then, I've expanded my sewing to
include a lot of fancy needlework RH>in addition to making clothes, from
plain to fancy. I still am on the RH>lookout for thimbles as a
compliment to my sewing. I'll have to look RH>thru for duplicates (I
think I may have a couple.) if you're interested.
Let me know what kind and I will get back to you.
 
Have a wonderful day,
Christi Walkup
RH>... There cannot be a crisis today; my schedule is already full.
