As you know, I’m really keen on big stitch quilting and so I recently bought 26 large spools of this lovely Aurifil 12wt cotton thread. I bought as many of the variegated ones as I could afford. Aren’t they lovely?
I can’t wait to use them.

OOh pretty colors. Let us know how you like them. 🙂

Love the colors! Always fun to get something new to work with 🙂
I’m not looking…. I won’t be tempted…. i’m not looking… I won’t be tempted…..

I’ve been longing after Aurifil thread, but it’s so expensive, I just can’t bring myself to buy any.
Hi Linda Try this link they are very cheap. http://www.tristan.bc.ca/cart/search.php?mode=search&page=1 Cheers Munaiba
Where do you get the 12 wt? I have been looking for a vendor. Aurifil is so awesome.

Lovely thread!
So pretty! Isn’t it fun seeing all the spools together? The Enableer
I was gifted a mixed set of thread. I have the feeling it will take a long time to use it all.
Thanks for leaving me a comment. I am going with the faded fabric and think it will look OK in the end.
Lovely thread indeed! YLI also makes variegated thread–have you seen it? Here’s a link: http://www.ylicorp.com/product.aspx?PID=2d8143f6-a8d0-44ac-9b18-19bf56048d60&SCID=783065c6-9646-4430-afa0-3911b032b4f4 Also, just wanted to let you know I saw your video on hoopless hand quilting and am eager to try your technique. Very helpful. Just finished piecing and basting my first quilt and am excited to get going on the quilting.
Thanks June. The YLI thread is 40wt whereas the Aurifil here is 12wt for large stitch quilting. I hope you enjoy the process of hand quilting. Feel free to ask any questions you may have as you go long.
