Many thanks to our generous sponsors for providing the following prizes:
The great folks at Aurifil
are sending Subtle Strings -- the beautiful new designer thread collection by my favorite FMQ mentor, Wendy Sheppard.
Subtle Strings contains 12 spools of Aurifil 50Wt thread -- they're perfect for FMQ'ing most backgrounds and negative space.
Checkout the beautiful quilting Wendy did with this collection in this blog post -- don't miss it!
Thanks so much Aurifil for this awesome product and giveaway!

I've been using Quilter's Dream 100% Wool batting (Dream Wool) for just over a year and absolutely LOVE it. You can read about my first encounter and see the awesome quilting results using Aurifil thread and Dream Wool batting in this blog post.
Wool batting provides for great quilting texture, drape-ability, and warmth without adding excessive weight and with little/no bearding.
Quilter's Dream wool really does Quilt like a Dream.
The great folks at Quilters Dream Batting are providing us two products for the QAL giveaway!
A package of each Dream Wool and Dream Cotton -- Oh So Fun!!!
Thank you Quilter's Dream!
