However, two things to say. First, look what I got!
A starter pack of Aurifil and colour card from Lynne! Isnt she a superstar! I've been so keen to try this stuff, and I'll admit right now that I'm not someone that's ever really considered the thread... well, so long as it didnt totally clash and show up bad... But, I've read such an unbelievable amount of praise for this stuff I cant wait to give it a go. People even say it makes stuff go thru your machine quicker and easier... and you know how I feel about "easier"! So, thank you very very much to lovely Lynne, and I'll let you all know what I think of it when I've tried it!
Secondly... Most of you will know already from ms Flying Blind and her fantastic build up... the time has come for the JAPANESE SCRAP CHALLENGE VOTING!

Oooh lucky you. I'd love a kona card mainly because I can never remember what fabric I've ordered before when I want to order more and I've heard great things about that thread too!
ReplyDeleteI love aurifil - I can't possibly admit to how much I have now stocked up on but I haven't got the colour card - thats probably a good thing! I've only used the 50wt which FMQs lovely and never causes me problems like other threads. Enjoy...
ReplyDeleteI thought for a minute , you'd got a kona colour card. I've not tried the aurifil - I think my machine would appreciate it, so I should.
ReplyDeleteLucky Sarah - let's hope your luck holds good with the voting! Rest up then get experimenting with some lovely thread!
ReplyDeleteYayyyy for visitors! :) Now for some R&R, and then a little play time with that lovely Aurifil :) Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteSweet dreams x
ReplyDeleteOh you lucky thing - I have one little spool of Aurifil, which only gets used for the 'good sewing'!!
ReplyDeleteGood luck scrap-buddy xxx
Aw pet! Sorry you're wiped out - but sounds like it was worth it having a friend over. I have voted for my 3 favourite people, of course! Jxo
ReplyDeleteYay for the Aurifil, I won a couple of mixed packs recently, but I'm still revering them in their packaging ;o)
ReplyDeleteGood luck in the comp, I voted :o)
Hope you get lots of sleeeeeepppppp
oh friend, i hope you are enjoying your comatose lounging on the couch! :) i hope you are up and sewing soon! i am super jealous of your thread! i have been enjoying some sulky thread lately, i am sure it is not as good as the aurifil but it is a ton better than the coats and clark that was driving me mad!
ReplyDeleteand, i totally just voted for you! i hope they let me vote twice, because you and hadley have my votes!
excellent - I've been waiting for the voting on that challenge! I'll be voting for your game!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear all these raves about the thread... my prize in the Men Quilt Too was a large selection of that very same thread :) :) :)
I love that game you made, you got my vote, luckily I got three votes, as the competition is fierce! It's nice you had so much fun, wiped out is a bit of a price but hopefully not that much.
ReplyDeleteI've been and voted, but. Think Sarah s really mean only giving 3 votes - I think 9 would have been much better as I think ALL the projects are fab!
ReplyDeleteSorry you're wiped out at the moment, I hope you feel better soon. I've voted - good luck!! I'm also looking forward to trying my Aurifil thread, I've heard such great things about it!
ReplyDeleteI voted too, of course :)
ReplyDeleteI wonder how you will like the Aurifil thread.
I'm afraid I just use polyester thread as I can buy it in a shop near me if I run out - there is one Polish brand they have that is OK to sew with and has nice colours. But I'd love to try something really good one day :)
