Yay! What better way to start the week than with a thread giveaway?!? I’d love to be able to enter but since I work here, they say I’m not allowed. Thus, unable to enter, I console myself with the thought that I get to be a part of the excitement and make some other quilter’s day!
One lucky grand prize winner will get a thread set of their choosing and two others will get 2 spools of thread in any color combination they want. I may be biased, but I personally love our thread and am so happy to have 33 new colors, giving us a new grand total of 90 colors in our cotton Essential Thread spools that we will have day in and day out.
Some of my favorite new colors include...
Grass
Sprout
Steel Blue
French Blue
and of course, Goldenrod
Since we added so many new colors, we had to rearrange our sets and add in all these new colors. As a result, we now have 10 new sets to choose from! With all of these color options, it's so hard to pick which ones I love most. From Americana to Celebration, there's sure to be a perfect set for every quilty occasion.
For the giveaway, one lucky winner will get the thread set of their choice, and two runner-up winners will each get two spools in whatever color combination they want. In order to win one of these lovely prizes all you have to do is leave a comment and tell me which thread set or which two thread colors you would choose if you won. I know this a difficult one because there are so many colors to choose from, but I know you all can do it! You have until February 26th to enter and on February 27th, we will announce the winners.
Rules: One entry per person. No purchase necessary. To be qualified to win, you must have a mailing address in the US or Canada. You must provide us with a valid email address so that we can contact you if you win. Contest ends 11:59 pm on Sunday, February 26th. Good luck!
Mar 6, 2012 at 8:24 PM I love all the bright colors, but I would probably choose the grey/creams because that is what I use the majority of the time
Mar 6, 2012 at 4:00 PM Love all the thread colors, but mostly use neutrals so grey and cream are my favorites. I receive much inspiration from all the neat ideas in your emails. Thanks
Mar 5, 2012 at 6:48 AM I love all the colors it's hard to pick one . It's so handy to have a good supply of colors on hand when your working on a project.
Feb 29, 2012 at 1:09 PM The Farmers Market is the bomb! Otherwise the grass and sprout are cool too. This thread is so nice to sew with.
Feb 29, 2012 at 8:50 AM Oh what a gorgeous rainbow of color on a very windy winter day! Food for the soul as my grandma would say...I love them all and wish I could touch each one!
Feb 28, 2012 at 10:02 PM You are right...it would be really difficult to choose a set... My favorites would have to be celebration, beach house and confections... single colors... hmmmm... royal purple, wine, calypso and sweet pintk... I love the thread and have a number of the sets and single spools... it's a great sewing thread and a great quilting thready... keep up the good work!!!!

Feb 26, 2012 at 8:38 PM The sets are so very bright, vibrant and pleasing to the eye! Picking just one set is very difficult.
I like the combination of Sprout and French Blue - they are modern and would work well with current colors of fabric.
Feb 26, 2012 at 8:35 PM Oh the Calypso is so beautiful and Parchment because it is like old linen. All the threads are so gorgeous and they sew so nice. Been using them for over a year now and won't use anything else for my quilting

Feb 26, 2012 at 7:46 AM Wow! I just found you and the thread choices make me swoon. I love celebrations, and confections the most, they are a real toss up! Hmm, to only buy two I would probably go with Periwinkle (mostly because I like to say it) and Tangerine - orange is my favorite these days!! Thanks.
Feb 26, 2012 at 7:46 AM I'm excited about all the new colors. Love your thread!
Feb 26, 2012 at 7:43 AM I would choose the Confection thread set...or Tangerine and Lime! Any of those would be marvelous!

Feb 26, 2012 at 7:19 AM I would be happy with any of your threads. I have used them all for many different projects. I tell all of my quilting friends, and those that do regular sewing, that your thread are the best, durable and I never worry about running out in the midst of a project. If I had to choose I would pick Beach House, or individually, Grass or Sea Breeze.
