Blogathon Canada kicks off in Beautiful BC!

Our first stop on Blogathon Canada 2013 is British Columbia! 
We have two amazing hosts from BC with many fantastic blogs that you can visit. If you want to be inspired and see amazing work - BC is where you should go! 

The Hosts:

Holly at Holly's Red Bike

Heather at Winding Bobbins

Heather is a stay-at-home mom, living on beautiful Vancouver Island with her husband and two sons. She has tried her hand at crafts of all sorts over the years but now, most of her extra time and energy is spent on creating quilts and other sewn items for her family and friends.

Holly and Heather have chosen delicious goodies from our store to giveaway on their blogs and have a great list of blogs from BC for you to visit. Check them out and enter the giveaways on their blogs to win amazing prizes! 

Giveaway from Aurifil

Our featured sponsor today 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!
- Judy 

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 12 spools of yummy colors. Each spool is 1,422 yards of pure delight!

Sew Sisters, our cat will tell you, you opened pandoras box, each morning she has to wake the youngest son, he will wake up and feed her at the crack of dawn, not Mommy. After my cuppa, I head to Canada Blogathon, in my red pjs. Then I am lost in a world of discovering all the amzing bloggers we have right here on our very own doorstep.
