Talk about timing! I came home from having some fun dental surgery (be sure to floss), on this rainy day and what should be in my mailbox but a package from Patti. Fq's in pretty purples, thread to match, a pretty little box she made, with chocolate inside. I'm anxious to try the expandable thimble. I have very slim fingers and wrists, that is all that is slim, and the thimble I have now is bigger and my thread sometime catches on the closer. So I am more than pleased, thank you, thank you. S.
