Giveaway from Aurifil
Our featured sponsor day is Aurifil.
Aurifil thread is "the bomb". Aurifil is a high quality thread that has a long staple so is unlikely to tangle or break and has very low lint . The 50 wt is our go to thread for piecing whether by hand or machine. It would be amazing just based on its quality but the price is very reasonable too! Thanks Aurifil!
Aurifil is offering a 50wt Eat Your Fruits n' Veggies Thread Kit by Pat Sloan to one lucky winner. You can use these threads for hand appliqué, machine appliqué and machine quilting. The box has 10 spools of yummy colors. Each spool is 220 yards of pure delight!
For a chance to win the Eat Your Fruits n' Veggies Thread Kit by Pat Sloan leave a comment on this post. Winners will be chosen at the end of the Blogathon and contacted by e-mail and announced on our blog on Monday, November 25th.
