Good Morning, Quilters!
I hope your summer is going swimmingly! The weather has been perfect here…well, perfect for any outdoor activity, not for quilting–(hence my inconsistently blogging–I’ll make up for it during the Minnesota Winter when I will be able to blog twice a day!)
I recently acquired several new threads, so I thought I’d make a Summer Sampler with Sailboats (say that three times fast!)
This project is similar to our Quilt-a-Long Project…see all the instructions HERE.
Instead of stitching the Spools, I stitched Sailboats, Tutorial HERE
I worked outside of my comfort zone–using variegated threads from Sulky
And metallics…This cone from Superior is called Halo and it is marked for use in the bobbin only, but I used a size 90 Topstitch needle and it stitched really well.
This metallic cone is from EnMart, a new-to-me thread line. It stitched up beautifully as well.
There are so many wonderful threads on the market these days…
What about YOU– have you tried any new threads?
Have YOU made any samplers?
We’d love to hear.
Happy Sewing, Happy Sailing,
Lori
