Update: Congrats to Charlotte #24!!
You are the winner!
Four posts in 4 days,
that might be a record.
Colonial Needle was generous
enough to send thread and
needle packs for our retreaters.
I do love Prescencia thread!
Why?
I like the Size 12 for topstitching
onto projects.
I use it
for embroidery.
The thread is perfect for
sewing purse handles on.
It doesn't fray
or break.
or break.
These Colonial Needles are great
for Big Stitching.
The Prescenia threads -
Sizes 5 or 8 work well for quilting.
Actually, any of the sizes work great
for big stitch quilting.
My quilt is quilted,
it just needs to be bound!!
And these are my 2
favorite needle packs.
The John James Pebble
Embroidery pack.
And the Household Pebble Pack.
In addition to the quality,
I like these packs, because the needles
are contained and easy to find.
Don't tell my girls,
but these will be in their stockings this year.
Hoping there will be something to go with them,
Colonial Needle also gave
a thread pack to give to you!
It's full of the size 12 threads,
needles and other goodies.

Oh those thread are so pretty. I just made one of those kinds of pouches. They are so addicting! Love the fabrics you used for your pouches.
ReplyDeletethis is just such an awesome giveaway, i would be lying if I said I wasn't dying to win it.
ReplyDeleteYes please - great giveaway! Needles and threads are a necessity to go with all that yummy fabric we all buy so this is the PERFECT giveaway!!
