Thread Thursday

This week we have the wonderful threads from Superior that arrive every month until I am buried in thread.  I'm hoping they run out of colors before I run out of room.  The lime green is beautiful!
What do I do with all this thread?  I quilt with it, of course.
Here are couple bits of a current project that I'm working on.  The quilting is done and I need to add the binding and label.  This section of the quilt is quilted using So Fine! #50.  Like most of my quilting, this is hand-guided work without the stitch regulator.
Since this quilt is very, very scrappy, I decided to use simple fills at a medium density.  My hope is to create a fabric with great drape and is perfect for snuggling.  The red thread I used in this part of the quilt is from last month's Thread Thursday, again this is So Fine! #50 from Superior Threads.

Thread Thursday (on a Wednesday)

Yes, I'm a day early with the Thread Thursday.  I just didn't want to wait to share my new thread colors.
This month I got some new great colors of So Fine!  Look at that red, and rose, and brown!
This month I joined Massdrop.  I don't need most of what they sell, but I decided I needed this gauge by SimFlex.  I do recommend you shop around when you see a deal on Massdrop.  Not all deals are created equal.  In the end I only saved a couple dollars on the sewing gauge.

As always, none of these links is paid advertising.  I include links in case you are interested not because I am compensated in any way.

Thread Thursday

My love affair with Superior Threads continues.
This month I got some new great colors of So Fine! and a new cone of Omni.  I couldn't resist the Omni because it was on sale.  Omni is great for all kinds of sewing and quilting.
I'll be ready for even more great quilting with these!

Thread Thursday: Lava and So Fine

Superior Threads always brighten my day.
I have decided to try Lava from Superior.  This poly thread was on sale so I picked up a couple cones.  Aren't these colors delightful!
I also received my latest club shipment of So Fine!  So Fine has become my favorite thread to use on the long arm.  Strong and blends nicely.

Do you have a favorite thread for piecing or quilting?
