In addition to the wide spectrum of wonderful colors to choose from and in different weights, the quality is second to none.
I have been using Aurifil thread exclusively for the last six months for all my machine sewing. Thread breaks are virtually non-existant and what has completely blown me away is the reduction of the lint build up under the stitch plate.
Allow me to digress before I get to the nitty gritty of this post.
Just recently I found out that my friend Lucie's son and his wife were expecting a baby. I thought I had three weeks to make a quilt for the new born but Clara decided to enter the world two weeks early. I dropped what I was doing and spent an afternoon and the next morning making this quilt for Clara.
Aurifil has graciously donated this 10 color collection of 100% cotton 50 wt spools of thread from the Floral Gatherings collection for my giveaway to which I've added a charm pack from Floral Gatherings by Primitive Gatherings for Moda that coordinates with the thread.
To be entered in the giveaway, just leave a comment at the end of this post. I will ship internationally. Please ensure that you can be contacted by email. I'll announce the winner on Friday, April 11th.
As always, thanks for stopping by.
Happy stitching!

Although I am no stranger to Aurifil, I too use Aurifil thread exclusively, I had to enter your giveaway for one specific reason, I don't have this collection and I love Primitive Gatherings. Your quilt is beautiful but baby is more beautiful. You are a good friend Kaaren and I am sure your friends tell you that often. Hugs from Missouri.
