Christine, where did you get your open thimble? Did you buy online, and if so, how did you know what size?

My biggest problem with hand quilting is my "receiving fingers" that are very calloused and have little prick holes in them. Also the side of my thumb on the push hand has a big callous on it. I love hand quilting and always have to have a project ready for hand work.
