fabric giveaway

The fine folks at Connecting Threads saw my post awhile back, and as a thank you sent me some of their Essential PRO Thread. I was shocked that they had seen my post, and even further amazed that they sent me some thread as a thank you. What a pleasant surprise! They also sent me some fabric to pass along to my readers. I have 3 stacks (similar to a layer cake) of Sweet Remembrance fabric to give away. So you know the drill, if you would like to win a stack, leave me a comment here. I'll pick 3 separate winners sometime next week.

Happy Friday!

Who wouldn't want to win fabrics as beautiful as those. I would definitely like to be considered for the give away. Debbie L.

Betty said...

Yes, I remember your post on the Essential Pro threads you were so pleased about: quality and price were good. And they have all kind of colours!
So I wanted to order, to find out for myself.

What a pity they don't ship worldwide!
I was very dissapointed.

So to get something from them would be monumental for me! It would be AWESOME!
(that is the most American word I know)

Thanks for giving us the opportunity!
Love from Urp!

Your stacked coin quilt inspired my quilting passion. I made one for each of my friend's twins. I was such a beginning and now I am obsessed. Thank you for teaching me! I just got my great grandmother's quilt tops she stiched by hand from my grandmother. I guess it runs in my blood. I have you to thank for finding it.

Melissa said...

I have to tell you how pleased I was to see your original post. I'd just gotten a Pfaff Hobby Quilter and was distressed by the cost of the threads recommended by the original owner. Particularly when I saw how fast I went through a spool. I'd ordered one cone of EssentialPro and your post made me feel so much better about it. The spool came and it is AWESOME in my Pfaff, even in the bobbin! I've ordered more colors and I can't wait to play. I've been a Connecting Threads girl for a long while now and I'm pleased to see they're doing right by you.

Sewcando said...

That was so sweet of them. I bet you were so surprised.
