Indeed it is. Wish she could demonstrate how to properly use that thing. I would love to give it a try.

I never could get the "hang" of using Aunt Becky. Yes, it is just as comfortable as using any thimble.

Actually, not at all like using a spoon. I never could get the "hang" of using a spoon either. This is very easy to control. You are simply wearing a thimble on your "under-hand". I really love it.

He does not have an individual website. This is where to find him on Etsy. Notice on the right had side of the page is a "Contact" button. That is how you can contact him. He is quick to respond. http://www.etsy.com/listing/32325411...-hand-engraved And just because you contact him through this page, does not mean you want to buy that particular thimble. Just tell him that you are contacting him regarding the special under-hand thimble that he made for me. "Marlys in Indiana" Since it is something he has just made for the first time, he will know exactly what you are talking about.

No, he made it for the first time for me. That is why there is no listing or pic on Etsy.

No suffering while quilting, just enjoying!

I will have to investigate both of them. I have been unable to find anything like that since having the porcelain ones from Jasmine Heirlooms that have hit the floor and broken each time. That's why I chose to go with metal.
Also Jasmine Heirlooms has refused to respond to orders or e-mails. So I decided to find something different somewhere else.

Here is the link to etsy. Lance has just uploaded pics etsy. His pictures are much better than mine. He has also given me credit for the design. I think that is hilarious. He really designed it. Anyhow, take a look and see what you think.
