The Comfort of a Quilter’s Thimble

A quilter’s thimble, dented from years of pushing needles through fabric, carries the imprint of her finger—an indentation of pressure, of precision, of love. The thimble is a small armor, a tool of creation, now warm from use. Slide it onto your finger; feel the weight, the way it fits like a second skin.
