Hi friends! I have a really fun giveaway for you all today! If you’ve watched any of the videos in my Quilting 101 series you all know that I recommend 50wt 100% cotton Aurifil for my thread choice. So you can imagine my excitement when Aurifil offered to do a super awesome giveaway for my readers!
I always have great experiences with Aurifil thread and shortly after starting to quilt I figured out the importance of using good quality thread. If you go for cheaper thread it’s likely to break while trying to quilt, and it can deteriorate faster over multiple washes as well. And you don’t want your hard work coming apart!
I’ve found some of the cheaper threads can also tangle in your machine more and just cause general sewing frustrations with your bobbin, tension, and breakage. It can also cause a lot more lint to collect in your machine too, and who likes to clean out lint from their machines? Yuck. Not me!
I’ve been using Aurifil for the past two years and I’ve found it to be super durable, and I haven’t had too much breaking when trying to do difficult things like free motion quilting or sewing through thick layers. It doesn’t lint up my machine too much either.
And the color selection for Aurifil is amazing! I don’t think there is a color out there I’ve needed that they haven’t had!
So on to the fun stuff, the giveaway! I have this beautiful Color Me Happy thread set to giveaway to one of you! This kit was designed to go with the Color Me Happy line by Vanessa Christenson and it’s beautiful!
You can purchase Aurifil all over online and at many of your local quilt shops too. My favorite place to get it is on Etsy or Fat Quarter Shop. I’ve also seen it on Amazon as well.
As you can see the colors are bright and cherry and they are flexible enough to go with many of your fabric choices too. This particular set also has some variegated threads in it which make for really fun and beautiful quilting!
Giveaway time!!

I have my very first quilt supplies all ready to go but I haven’t really started yet…that’s what I would use the thread for. 🙂
I switched to Aurifil about 4 years ago, it is all I use now. Much less lint. I am becoming as bad about Auriful hoarding and I am with fabric, lol
I just got a bunch of the heat stuff to make pot holders but the cotton thread I bought isn’t working. I’d love to make done of these with my daughter to encourage her love of sewing on a smaller scale than what I might do.
New thread is always wanted, needed, desired! 🙂
I’ve only been quilting for about 4 years and I’ve never tried Aurafil thread. I’ve heard such great things though, I’d love to give it a try. These colors are so beautiful. I’d definitely use them on my next quilt.
only thread I will buy, just the best.
Love the colors.
I have started quilting in the past 6 months and just heard about Aurifil thread. I am starting to make a valentines quilt and purchased a spool of their light pink thread. Looking forward to trying it out. Would love to try out more colors!
I would use this thread to make a quilt. I have never used Aurifil.
I LOVE Aurifil thread! Such a pretty color set!
