In fact, I like them so much I have two pair and we bought a pair for my bud back in Michigan. They are great to use for pulling heavy threads through projects or even to use in your beading!
So while looking at the forceps, I also looked for a leather thimble. I keep forgetting to pick one up at JoAnn's. Last year, my online bud, Mary Stori, had a post on leather thimbles. I forgot all about the one I had and so I looked in my needle bag and sure enough there was the little bugger. I forgot how much I liked using it! Hence, I've been using it whenever I'm working on my hex's or sewing on bindings.
Well, you can see by the pics below how worn it is! So I bought one while at the quilt shop! $4.99 not that bad.

And last but not least! If you're in the market for a new quilting ruler you have to get one of these!!! They are made by Quilters Select and they are wonderful!
I was gifted one by my bud, Carol T. back in Michigan for my birthday and it's one of those gifts that 'keeps on giving'!!! It has a unique non-slip surface that really is non-slip! It's wonderful! I have used it so often and just told Bob I need to buy some other sizes. Hint, hint!
