there are definitely weeks where i can NOT seem to get to my sewing machine. for whatever reasons
(ahhmm.... construction on new sewing studio!),
but i'll be damned if that doesn't mean i can't make some head way towards gorging myself on staples! it would be wrong to turn my back on my hobby completely... so, i had to make a concession of sorts and just stock up through this non-productive time! (wink,wink)

Lu Summer's helped me with this unnatural dilemma of mine, by sending me a little Summersville
( soon to be released by Moda! ) this past week! and it really is... AMAZING!
then FabricWorm made it impossible not to buy more Melody Miller's Typewriters, Echino & some other fabulous staples!!
and then to top it all off, Aurifil sent me a goody package and the squealing commenced!
---> L I S T E N <---
Aurifil is the shit! period. i would never go back to another thread again ( okay... that might be a steep statement, but you get my dedications to this product! ) it lasts, forEVER and creates the best looking stitches my Janome 6600 has ever seen! TRY IT!
OOOhhh... piss, just leave a comment here and i'll send you a pack if i chose you on Friday! YOU'll really get it then!! THAT'll teach ya!!
LOL
LOL
x, Heather
love the colors of the new fabric and WILL be trying the Aurifil thread... but would LOVE to try it for FREE!!!!
ReplyDeleteI am hearing so much about Aurifil over the blogesphere, that goody bag looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteI have been using this brand about six months. Love it!
ReplyDeleteloving the aurifil thread, too!
ReplyDeleteOh, thanks for the giveaway! Fingers crossed!!!

ReplyDeleteI have tried Aurifil. I love it but can't find it locally... I'd hate to have to either 1) buy a ton of thread at once to justify shipping. or 2) pay shipping each time.
ReplyDeleteBut. it is fabulous!

Oh! Me! Choose me! Pretty please? Be your best friend! :)
ReplyDeleteWould love to be able to try this out!
ReplyDeleteI have not tried Aurifil either, I've been using gutterman and sulky like I use for my clothes. I never even thought that there might be products better for quilting, unless I was doing some sort of fancy embroidery. SO much to learn!
ReplyDeletethank you for the giveaway, and for saying piss in your post and making me laugh!

I'm relatively new to sewing/quilting world, and I have no yet experienced the thrill of using fabulous thread. I'm prepared to be schooled.
ReplyDeleteOooo! Are you really going to share!!??
ReplyDeleteI would love to try Aurifil thread, I have been meaning to pick up a spool but having hard time finding it in my haunts.

ReplyDeleteI'm so silly. I must need a (sewing) vacation. I thought you meant staples, not staples. I adore Aurifil thread. I would really like to try the 12 weight for embroidery. I didn't realize Summersville was coming out so soon! Yeah!
ReplyDeleteI am just saying....I am addicted to this tread too!!!! It is the only one my machine LOVES and the colors are to live for!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI cannot wait to see the new sewing lounge!
I am like you. I love Aurifil but my buying thread and fabric are over for awhile. Our AC went out and with summer heat coming I have to have air conditioning.
ReplyDeleteIt is AWESOME isn't it? Sadly I can only get beige, pale grey, white and off white near me, so please, please pick me!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Aurifil threads. I just discovered them and I'm hooked !!
ReplyDeleteI have recently purchased an APQS longarm machine and I am experimenting with thread..... I havent tried Aurafil yet......

When they print that dictionary with pictures? By the word thread... That picture you have there of the Aurifil will do nicely... For me, there is no other thread. Since finding Aurifil I refuse to use anything else. Period.

Thanks for the chance to win the beautiful Aurifil thread! :)
ReplyDeleteI've never used Aurifil... it is sooo expensive. I use connecting threads' thread. But, I'd like to try the Aurifil....
ReplyDeleteI've LOVED and USED Auriful for many years now! I feel rather smug when so many people are just now jumping on the bandwagon. Welcome! You can never have too much Aurifil! The colors are wonderful.
ReplyDeleteLook at you, you are the shizz to be sharing such an awesome gift! I've never sewn with Aurifil because I'm cheap and forgetful, so when I have the money I never remember to pick it up and order more fabric instead... ;) Help a sister out, why don't you?
ReplyDeleteI use Aurifil thread and love it too!
ReplyDeleteI actually just purchase a Janome 6600, but I haven't had time to play with it yet because work keeps getting in the way! I would love to be able to test it out with some amazing thread!
ReplyDeleteI just ordered a Janome 7700, and I've heard Aurifil is the ONLY thing to use in it... Sounds like I'll need some myself!
ReplyDeleteI have a Janome 6600 and I agree...it loves Aurifil!! My seams have never looked so good! Great thread means greater accuracy! Would love to win...can't have to much of good thing! Thanks for the chance!
ReplyDeleteGood for you taking advantage of stocking up while you can't get into your sewing room. ; ) And I've never used Aurifil, but if you swear by it, then I better try some.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree with you, aurifil is my FAVORITE!!!
ReplyDeleteLove love love! We sell Auriful where I work and everyone loves it. We just got in a tonne of other colours that are sooooo pretty :)
ReplyDeleteI SO AGREE! I wish there was a local shop that carried it. =(
ReplyDeleteI've never tried it but it seems like I better!
