Sponsored Blog Hop - Colonial Needle (Now Closed)

Thank you so much for your interest.....this giveaway is now closed!

Welcome to the Colonial Needle Blog Hop! We have assembled a super panel of bloggers for your enjoyment! And we all have wonderful notions from the Colonial Needle Company to give away!



(Padsworth wanted to check out the giveaway prizes . . . excuse me, whilst I get him out of the box.)

Colonial Needle is one of the companies that sponsored the awesome Wantobe Quilter campaign last year, over at Sew We Quilt. They have an incredible array of notions, needles, tools, and even sewing baskets. You can check out their web site at this link, and you can always click on their badge on the sidebar here at Lilypadquilting, too.

Here's some notes from their web site --- you'll be amazed at the variety of products you can find there!

Our extensive collection of hand and machine needles, beading needles, weaving and specialty needles, and even industrial and specialty needles is unrivaled.
In addition to needles and notions, we have felting tools and wools, fun and easy felting kits, knitting needles, gift sets and helpful accessories.
Sewers, quilters and needleworkers will also enjoy our sewing and quilting notions and supplies including fasteners, hoops, measuring and cutting tools and pins of all sizes and styles.
If crafting is your passion, you can choose from an assortment of glues and colorful writing and craft pens for all of your craft projects.

Personally, I think the most wonderful things on their site are the "Pebbles" - but I bet you'll find your own favorites there.
Let me tell you a little about the Pebbles.  If you have reached into your sewing bag or tote just once and come out scratched, and possibly bleeding, then you need a Pebble! (Grin)   These little gems are packages of needles that close right up and protect you and the contents of your tote. You can get them in all types of needles, and our bloggers will be telling you more about those as the week goes along.


They were incredibly generous with their sponsorship, and I was able to divide up the items and ask some wonderful bloggers to help me out.  Here is the schedule of our hop:

Sunday, April 15 – Snoodles at Lilypadquilting (that's me!)
Monday, April 16 –SewCalGal
Tuesday, April 17 – Gene Black
Wednesday, April 18 –HillbillyHandiworks
Thursday, April 19 – SewBittersweet Designs
Friday, April 20 – It’s So Kiki
Saturday, April 21 – Love Affair with my Brother
Sunday, April 22 – Catpatches

I sure hope you are still with me, because we'll have a giveaway here, too! Here is a package of prizes that TWO lucky winners will receive:

 Safety pins, tape measure, magnet, seam ripper, needles and more!
And they'll also receive one of these Colonial Needle Pebbles, too!


So do you want to win? Well, we love our followers, so please leave us a comment if you follow, for one entry in the giveaway.  For another chance to win, tell me if you use a thimble --- whether you are hand-quilting, embroidering, or whatever; do you use a thimble?

We'll leave this one open til Saturday at midnight, and announce the winner on Sunday, April 22!

Good luck!

Love,

  7. I do use a thimble for hand needle work, but find it clumsy... beats the alternative of sore finger tips, though!

  9. Nunca usei dedal.Todos os meus amigos me perguntam por que...Não sei,sou viciada em hexágonos e tudo que é papel e costura a mão,tipo ponto cruz e outros.Muito obrigada.

  12. I have never been able to get used to the feel of a normal thimble on my finger. But I'm a nurse and have discovered "Coban". It's a fabric that sticks to itself but not to anything else. We use it for pressure bandages and such because it doesn't damage skin. Well, wrap a bit around your finger and press it to mold it to your finger, and guess what -- you have a perfect thimble!! This I have gotten used to and it has saved my fingers many times!!

    ReplyDelete
  13. I am a hand quilter; and I definitely use a thimble...a metal one on my middle finer to push with. And a rubber one on my index finger to pull that needle through. It saves sore fingers.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Woo Hoo - John James needles!! No thimble for me and I hand quilt (and other needlework) a lot - gotta feel that stitch.

    ReplyDelete
  15. And I am a happy follower - you are busy this week!!

    ReplyDelete
  16. I use a thimble for hand quilting, to get the protection AND the extra strength it allows...I don't use one for embroidery or hand sewing, though

    ReplyDelete
  17. I don't use a thimble but I often wind a piece of micro pore tape around my finger!

  23. I am a follower- thank you for the giveaway opportunity

    ReplyDelete
  24. I very seldom use a thimble. They do not fit, and make my finger sweaty. If it is very difficult fabric I may use a thimble. Usually I end up with a callous on the end of my finger instead!

    ReplyDelete
  25. I do use a thimble when I hand quilt.. I find I have the best luck, most comfort with the soft thimbles rather than the hard metal ones. Thanks for the chance to win! xo

    ReplyDelete
  26. I am a follower of your blog and I have not heard of Pebbles. They sound like something I could use.

    ReplyDelete

  28. I am a follower and love your blog.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Hand embroidery - no thimble
    Hand quilting - do not do
    Hand applique - THIMBLE

    ReplyDelete
  31. I occasionally use a Japanese thimble, but that is rare. My fingers seem to hold up pretty well!

    ReplyDelete
  32. I use a thimble, gotta protect my delicate fingers :)

    ReplyDelete
  33. I am a follower. Thanks for a chance.

    ReplyDelete
  34. I use a thimble about half of the time when I hand applique - it all depends on how long I have been stitching and how sore my finger is.

    ReplyDelete
  35. I sometimes use a thimble - when I hand quilt (almost never) I always use one. When I bind, it depends on how things are going -

    ReplyDelete
  36. I just subscribed to your blog feed. Blogger seems to pick and choose who I can follow.(ekkk) I tried to follow and I hit the refresh button but my mug didn't show up.
    I use a leather thimble sometimes. I can't keep the little metal one on my finger.
    Your blog is fantastic!

    Have a great day!

  39. I am a follower and I'm tickled pink that you're having such a fun blog hop! Was wondering what was going to fill my days for the rest of the month - now I know! :) And, oh, yes, many times have I accidentally found that needle!

    ReplyDelete
  40. I don't *usuallly* use a thimble, but then, there are those times....when the fabric is just tooooo thick, or my finger is already full of holes from the last sewing session!

    ReplyDelete
  41. I do use a thimble, love blog hops, thanks for the giveaway.

  47. I sometimes use a thimble when hand stitching binding. I find that hard thimbles don't work very well for me (or I don't work very well with them!) but I like the Nimble Thimble pretty well.

    ReplyDelete
  48. I am a follower (of Padsworth mostly) but I love the blog too. :D
    I love the pebbles for needles, they also stop the needles falling out of whatever you stuck them in and disappearing into the black hole at the bottom of my bag.

    ReplyDelete
  49. I don't use a thimble, I have never found one that I am comfortable with. As I started sewing without one I think I am used to not having one. I tend to end up with very bruised and battered fingers but as I have no feeling in the ends of my fingers it is not a major problem.
    Great prize pack Padsworth, you have done good.

    ReplyDelete
  50. I just recently started following your blog and am enjoying it very much.

    ReplyDelete
  51. I try not to use a thimble because I haven't found one I like that much but if I really need one I do use them.

    ReplyDelete
  52. I just started following your blog. The bingo cards are adorable. I am rarely without a needle in my hand. I do Redwork, embroidery, crazy quilting, appliqué and needlepoint. As for a thimble, I would use one if I could find one that fits. I have large hands and have yet to find one that fits comfortably.

    ReplyDelete
  77. Have been following you for a while. Love your frog! Maybe he should meet mine which I have in my sewing room also. Only he doesn't make as much trouble as yours does....

    ReplyDelete

  83. I use a thimble for quilting and some hand sewing-- like hems, for instance. It took a little getting used to, but now I love using my thimble-- it really saves my finger! :-)

    ReplyDelete
  84. I don't use a thimble. I really don't hand quilt. I piece things, do English Smocking and general sewing.

    ReplyDelete
  85. I am in the non-thimble using minority. I do stick myself quite often with straight pins, though (hate those little bloody dots on my fabric!) so maybe I should start??

    ReplyDelete
  86. I use one of the leather thimbles that slides on the upper part of your finger. I'm sure I don't use it like I am supposed to, but it does help me push that little bugger through the fabric!!

    ReplyDelete
  87. Thimbles are not easy for me to use. I love to hand sew quite a bit. Love your Blog! Judith, Texas

    ReplyDelete
  88. I just bought a thimble, but I haven't really tried it out yet.

  91. Hi, yes I am a follower love your blog. Thank you for the giveaway and a chance to win.

    ReplyDelete
  92. Hi, no I don't but I should but I just can't get used to having it on my finger. I have tried several but just can't sew with it on. Someone told me to put it on and go about everyday things till I forget it is there. Do you think putting the thimble on and wearing it all day would work?

    ReplyDelete
  93. I'm an avid follower and I had long desired some of those pebbles.

    ReplyDelete
  94. I do use a thimble and have recently found the clover thimbles with the rubber body and the metal tip which don't damage my nails when I've painted them.

    ReplyDelete
  95. I'm so looking forward to this hop and finding out about some great tools. I aleays ferl better about trying something if I know more about it and hearing how other's like them. I love needles by John James and use his needles for hand piecing and applique. When I started learning applique my teacher suggested always using a thimble. My problem is I can not find one that fits well after I get it home. So I have about 10 thimbles. I would love to know the secret about how to get one that fits and works.

    Thank you and Colonial Needle for a great giveaway and a chance to win.

  98. I use a an old metal thimble for sewing on buttons and hand sewing. I have a plastic half thimble. My finger doesn't sweat in it, but it is not really comfortable, so I end up using my old metal one again.
    I machine piece and quilt all my quilts. Binding, too.

I use a thimble when I am making hexies or doing applique because of the extra thickness, I have tried all different thimbles and have now found a leather one I really like...trouble is it's a bit big so keeps dropping off!!

  131. I do not use a thimble. I do know there was a project I used one for last year (or the beginning of this year?) but I was embarrassed, my husband gave me crap for it, and now I can't remember what it was. Blocked the horribleness from my memory I guess, but now I am annoyed. What was it? I need to go to my list...

    ReplyDelete

  139. I, sadly, do not use a thimble because my finger is too big. And usually my fingernails are too long. I tried the fabric/leathery ones once, but figure for the little amount of hand stitching I do, I'm okay. Now if I were hand quilting an entire quilt, I'd definitely figure something else out.

  167. I dislike using a thimble but it's a "have-to" when I'm hand quilting. I've tried just about every kind there is (leather, metal, etc..) and haven't really made my peace with any particular one but I do use some kind of thimble to hand quilt.

  170. I think those needle cases are so cute! Definitely a better way to carry around needles. Yes, if I'm hand piecing, appliquéing, or quilting, I do use a thimble some of the time.

  171. I use a thimble--one of those rubbery ones--when I quilt. Yes, it protects my finger, but more important, it helps me grip the needle and pull it through the fabric. Great give away!
