One with Nature and Thread... a Giveaway!

Greetings fellow quilters, I hope this post finds you safe and well.

I'm pretty excited to be sharing an Aurifil Thread Matters blog post today.  In these crazy stressful times I'm finding solace in nature...

This months' Amalfi Color Builders threads inspired me to stitch out a native wildflower.

Hop on over to the Thread Matters post and take a minute to be One with Nature.

    I am trying to switch over to Aurifil after all the good things I have read about it, and finally got to sew with some of it. I love to hand applique, and this color thread chart would sure help. Thank you, Carol

    The native wildflower threads are a very creative and insightful addition. When matched against the blue/purple color, it fits quite well.
