Pretty Thread Giveaway

Quilters love pretty threads, am I right?  I have a nice collection of favorite threads I use for all of my quilting projects - piecing, applique and quilting. I'm sure many of you do too. The Mettler thread company contacted me recently about giving away a set of their new 100% cotton "silk finish" thread for one of my lucky blog followers to try.

            

In case you don't know, Mettler thread is a brand of sewing thread that has been around for over 100 years. The company is known for its high-quality threads that are available in a wide range of colors and weights. Mettler threads are perfect for a variety of sewing projects, from patchwork piecing and quilting to applique and intricate embroidery.  




The Mettler company recently expanded their thread color range with even more beautiful colors. 


 To win some thread, just leave me a comment and an email address for me to contact you. If you win, I'll ask you to send me your mailing address. Sorry, the giveaway is only for those in the U.S.  


The giveaway will end on Friday, January 16, 2025. I'll pick a comment at random and announce the winner shortly after that. Good luck! I haven't had a giveaway here on the blog for quite awhile so this will be fun. Remember to leave your email address to avoid being disqualified. I've sponsored a few giveaways in the past where someone comments but forgets to leave their contact info and it kills me to pass over them after they've been picked because I had no way to reach out to tell them they'd won. So I have to move on to the next person. Also, you may post ONE comment to enter. Remember that anyone who posts two comments will automatically be disqualified. 


You have to admit these threads sure are lovely with that silky finish. The winner will receive these 3 spools of Mettler SILK-FINISH COTTON 40 in the colors shown.  


Good luck!  Check back after Friday, January 17 to see if you won.

Good afternoon Kathleen! I’m enjoying the monthly mini quilt challenge! I was first introduced to your miniature blocks during the School Girl Sampler. I completed my first appliqué for the center of the quilt and used matching thread for the petals and leaves. I’m so excited to have purchased three more of your books in the last few much. I appreciate your teachings in the books and your willingness to coach via FB, Insta and email! Thank you!
