Default Sewing Tools Collecting Article

Good Morning All.

Sharing this Moda article in case there are other thimble/sewing tool collectors on this list. I designed the Niagara Falls convention thimble and was the 2014 convention chairman. It was a great experience.

Thx for posting this...I once belonged to TCI, but did not know it still existed. I'm a collector of all sewing smalls, and have more than 750 thimbles-- mostly gold and sterling. I have the Liberty bell, and several of the 'angels'pictured....also 2 of the Simons 'Stitch in Time ' thimbles. Wondering about their future, as I am aging with no relatives. I will be looking at TCI again.

TCI has a very good resource on line.....a price guide that another member and I created and maintain. It will help you learn what your thimbles are currently worth. Unfortunately, many are in your situation....including me!
