Aurifil Thread Giveaway {Quilting Gallery Blog Hop Party}


To celebrate their 5th Birthday, the Quilting Gallery is hosting a fabulous Blog Hop Party, with a heap of awesome giveaways to enter! If you're visiting for the first time, welcome! I'd love you to have a look around my blog :o)

Blog Hop Party with Give-Aways

I am totally thrilled to have a give away sponsored by Aurifil - I have a stack of Aurifil Thread to give away to TEN lucky people!

My regular readers will probably have noticed I love Aurifil thread - and I use it for pretty much all my quilting and piecing - so I'm extremely excited to be able to share the love today. Aurifil Cotton Mako is long-staple Egyptian cotton - strong but fine and I find it leaves virtually no lint in my machine. It comes in a number of thread weights so it's ideal for a huge range of projects.

Although I've not used it, Aurifil also produce Lana Wool thread, a 12wt thread ideal for cross stitch and embroidery, hand and machine applique, even in quilting.

 Some of my recent projects using Aurifil are:

Groove: 


And Emma's Quilt:


So I know you really want to know - what are the prizes? Read on!!

The Grand Prize! 


One Prize Winner will recieve:


1. An Aurifil Cotton Mako Thread Colour Chart



2. An Aurifil Lana Wool Thread Colour Chart



3. A 1000 metre spool of 40wt grey thread, and a sample pack of various colours and thread types.




Second Prize!

FOUR Winners will receive:


1. One of these large thread spools (either Lana Wool or Cotton Mako - randomly selected)



2. An Aurifil Sample pack.



Third Prize

FIVE Winners will receive an Aurifil Sample Pack. 





To enter to win one of these fabulous prizes, please use the Rafflecopter Widget below. The Give away will remain open until 12am 17th December (Australian Eastern Standard time), and winners will be announced on this blog post. Winners will be contacted by email. I am happy to post anywhere in the world.

Full disclosure - Aurifil sent me this thread to give away on my blog, but the words and thoughts on Aurifil are completely my own. I have been using this thread for the last 12 months or so and I haven't looked back.

I apologise, but due to the massive number of comments I'm not able to respond to each one. I'm enjoying reading them all though!

390 comments:

  1. For quilting - Aurifil! Partly because I have such beautiful colours of it already, but mostly because it works!

  2. I currently have white Aurifil on the machine but also use white or off-white Coats as it is readily available at the craft store 2 miles down the road and when you run out you gotta get what you can where you can!!!

    ReplyDelete
  3. I have only used a tiny amount of Aurifil which I won...I loved it!! Thanks for this chance

    ReplyDelete
  4. I'm very new to quilting so I use whatever I have (mainly Gutermann), but I read a lot about Aurifil and would love to try it (unfortunately it's difficult to get hold of it where I live).

    ReplyDelete
  5. I am a sorry, horrible quilter and usually buy what's cheapest! I have transitioned to understanding fabric differences but it's hard for me to pay so much for thread! I really need to try some so I can see the difference!

    ReplyDelete
  6. I only use Aurifil gray (either the light or the dark) for piecing when quilting. It's just perfect!

    ReplyDelete
  7. Usually use Connecting Threads, but would love to try Aurifil!

    ReplyDelete

  13. I've just started using Aurifil thread (mainly because I kept hearing about it on various quilt blogs) and I really like it. I also like Gutermann and Mettler threads.

    ReplyDelete
  14. I haven't gotten to try Aurifil yet, I think tomorrow when I take my machine in to be serviced I will go to the one place where they have it and buy a couple of spools. Right now I mostly use Gutermann. I love verigated thread and Gutermann has quite a good selection of them. :D

    ReplyDelete
  15. I`m a huge aurifil fan, too. I haven`t used it much for quilting since I have a longarm but I`m hoping to order one of the mega cones and try it out.

    ReplyDelete
  16. I am not married to any one thread, but I do use Aurifil 50wt for all piecing as much as I can. It's a thinner thread and seems to "sink down" better and thus help make the seams less bulky. I'd love to try some of Aurifil's other threads though! Thanks for the chance :)

    ReplyDelete
  17. I use Aurifil when I can get it. Gutermann when I can't.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  161. I've only used Aurifil once and it kept breaking on me. I'd love to try it again and see if it was just the thread/quilt combo or the machine. (And if it is the machine, I'll use it to piece! I've never tried that, but have heard great things about it.)

  166. I don't have a favorite thread! I don't have access to a LQS with many options and I just don't know what to try! This would be a great way to start!

  167. I use Mettler. I've always used it I think because that's what my mom uses. I've been hearing a lot about Aurifil lately though and would love to give it a try! Thanks!

  175. I started using Aurifil when I got my Bernina before I thought thread was thread but not now. I just started using #2370 which blends with everything. My son sewed his quilt with it.
