Thread Thursday - Another Thread Club Shipment

Look!  More thread!

I know, no one is surprised.

Another awesome 3-pack of my Magnifico Thread of the Month Club membership.  I love this thread.  I added the Frosted Donut to the shipment because I've been meaning to try out this wonderful selection of pre-wound bobbins.  I should go sew before more thread shows up!

For the record, I post these because I actually use and love this thread. I am not compensated for these posts in any way.  I'm just not all that famous.

Row by Row Experience: Bear's Paw Fabrics

On Saturday I convinced my Darling Husband that we should go adventuring to IKEA and the fabric store north of Baltimore.  This is my haul from Bear's Paw Fabrics in Towson, MD.

I knew mostly what I wanted when I went.  This is the only really close shop that carries Quilter's Dream Green in all the sizes and I wanted some more to finish up a scrappy quilt (queen size).  I also wanted a coordinating print to bind a mini quilt I'm working on (that's it in the foreground).  Oh, yeah, and the license plate (forgot it) and the pattern and kit for the Row-by-Row Experience.  I also picked up a couple patterns from the discount bin and several yards of that blue fabric at the bottom of the pile.  It says "VROOM, VROOM!"  I couldn't leave it behind, not at $3/yard.

In The Mail Monday: Zipit Zippers

This one is a little late, but I wanted to make sure you saw this one.

When I decided to use my Modern Quilt Guild challenge fabric to make another Sew Together Bag, I wanted a coordinating zipper.  While online shopping challenges me when it comes to color-matching, I knew that I would be able to get a zipper that would coordinate with my fabrics.  I just might have to cast the net a little wider.

I went back to ZipIt Zippers and picked out some of the most likely candidates for the 18" zipper.  I kept it down to some likely yellows, light blues and gray.  To make sure I could make it work, I also asked for coordinating zips in the 7" size.  As always, the service was great.

The best part was the zipper pull that she included.  It was the perfect finish to my challenge fabric project.

Thread Thursday

I can't keep up with my own thread acquisition!

I cannot resist a good price on thread.

In the last newsletter Superior Threads had their Try Me Specials on sale for a great price.  I picked up another five spools of Masterpiece and another five cones of Fantastico.  I love Fantastico for quilting.  I also threw in a couple of the Deal of the Day Specials.  Being a member of a thread club really pays off.  It also gets me loads of great threads!  This isn't even my Club order!  I look forward to doing some great sewing with these.
