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!

Really really love the soft yellows and red-oranges! I'm just trying Aurifil for the first time and I would love more colors!
Baby is darling! My own is now 11wks old and I still haven't finished his quilt yet. The yellow would come in handy for it because it's a star sampler.
