Good Morning, Quilters!
Does it sound like we’re doing another Mystery Quilt-with the cryptic title for today’s post?
Let me explain…One of my New Year’s Resolutions is to review my extensive photo collection and purge. As I was working away at my computer, I came across this photo of The Poppy Quilt on my garden wall….The Spark…
Next thing I knew, I was sitting at my sewing machine…(So much for NY Resolutions!)
However, one of my other resolutions is to try new threads.
I used Superior’s King Tut (extra long-staple) cotton to create The Bricks in this quilt. I love how the variegated thread adds even more texture to The Bricks.
The Spark…led to The Brick Wall Tutorial on Tuesday.
Next, I sent off a photo and a note to Superior Threads...
And our friends at Superior offered to do a GIVEAWAY!

I love this Poppy. My NY resolution is to make more quilts using Zentangle to add to my trunk show.
Marjorie
oh ver nice …love the poppy quilt! for 2016 I would like to be able to say I am much improved with my machine quilting.
Donna Thoms
My sewing resolution is to keep trying different free motion designs and templates on my midarm. PS I do love King Tut threads
Juanita Culler
I like your way of thinking, how cleaning up “anything’ leads you back to the sewing machine.
This display of a 3D effect by using King Tut thread is a winner. There are so many possibly outcomes, it is only limited by how many spools of thread are available.
Lynn Munch
How fun! I love your poppy on the brick wall. For 2015, I am working on improving my FAQ skills. By 2016, I hope to be able to do some heirloom type quilting on a special top I made last year.
sillyandrea
I would love to try these threads! All your posts about threads have me thinking I really don’t pay attention as much as I should.
Diane
I have 2 resolutions for 2015: to improve my fmq (thus my following you) and tackling my ufo’s. I would love to win King Tut thread.
Donna Quimby
I want to finish my UFO’s!
Cyndi Spurlin
My sewing resolutions – learn to free motion quilt! So happy I found your site! I love all your tutorials!
Barbara J Hauck
I love sewing with King Tut threads, especially for quilting all those flimsies I have vowed to complete this year. And I can use your new quilting designs too! Thanks for the giveaway, Lori.
Karen
One sewing Resolution for 2015: Finish–or get rid of–one UFO for every new project I undertake. (Just finished my first UFO a couple days ago–feels good!)
Gail
Resolution is to sew a little bit every day.
Kerri Robinson
My goal for 2015 is to finish UFOS! I have several quilt tops (various sizes) that need quilted, which I will be doing on my DSM, thanks to your tutorials. I love King Tut thread and I think varigated threads are so fun!
Laroletta Petty
I am really appreciative of your presentations of free motion quilting designs and am working on a ‘library’. I made a New Year’s resolution to practice with small whole cloth pieces. I use quite a bit of Superior’s King Tut thread and really like everything about it. I usually use a 60 or 50 weight in the bobbin and have absolutely no tension issues. I look forward to your posts daily.
Karen McClung
I also love King Tut thread!! It is wonderful!!!
Quilt Musings
It is a bit early to be thinking about 2016! For 2015, I hope to do two whole-cloth wall hangings, one with a more modern theme and one with feathers and other more traditional motifs mixed with lots of FMQ. It is quite possible at least one of those might end up a 2016 goal given the other goals on my 2015 list..
Lisa Marie
I don’t really make sewing resolutions, or any resolutions for that matter. Just always trying to improve my skills and make things that make me happy.
Cheryl in PA
My biggest resolution is to get my UFOs completed. So far I have finished 5 projects. What’s left is a large two sided quilt, which will be lots of hours, and a couple hand sewing projects that I usually take along in the car with me.
Laura P in NH
One of my sewing resolutions for 2015 is to use leaders and enders while piecing and to make a scrappy quilt with those pieces. Sew far, sew good. It’s like any habit, with practice it becomes a routine. I started the year turning my huge pile of scraps into usable 2.5 inch and 2 inch squares. Found a neat 9 patch quilt to work towards and just did it. It’s working out great ~ 40 9-patch blocks made already!
Lynda discenza

Carla Middlebrook
My 2015 resolution is the same as 2014–To finish some more of my UFOs! I have made progress this last year.

I love King Tut’s variagations.
Anita
This year I will learn to paper piece, and maybe become even better in 2016!
Liz Horgan
My ongoing goal is to try something new – either a new technique for piecing or quilting. Your blog helps me accomplish this. I took a class on free motion quilting through my guild last week, and the teacher listed your blog as a resource–we talked about how wonderful your tutorials are and how beautiful your work is! Thanks, Liz
Mary
My New Years resolution is to get rid of a lot of my UFO’s. I need to see up a lot of the scraps I have
Kim Diekemper
My sewing resolution is to take more time for myself and sew. Seems get so caught up with work and family, I forget me!
Kris P
This year I will hone my quilting skills so I can quilt for others.
Jane from New England
I am hoping to investigate the stitches and attachments on/for my many sewing machines and learn how to modify them. I am usually purposed what to make and use the machine at hand – but with BSR attachment and new walking foot – and ruffle attachment – I have not really tapped their usefulness.
Jane Willie
My resolution is to begin every “quilting day” with an hour ( or more) practicing my free motion skills. So far so good!
D. Lohman
Lori, love the post. Proof of why I keep all my photos. My resolution is finish a UFO each month.
Maureen

dhowardvt
My resolution is to actually finish some projects I’ve started! That thread looks nice – thanks for the giveaway.
Jill Finger
My resolution is for every new project I start, i have to finish a UFO too.
Suz Woodard
Love these low lint threads. My resolution is to finish one project before starting another. So far so good -but this is only February. …..
Jacqui VMS
LOL Lori…you are an enabler!! My New Year’s resolution is to get some UFO’s out of the way and today I have the whole day to work on something old….and I’m itching to try that poppy. I get sidetracked easily…hence the UFO’s. But, I LOVE King Tut thread and have a nice collection. I think I have this exact colour. Hmmm…if I work on some UFO’s in the morning, can I free motion practise in the afternoon? :-). Maybe I’ll be luck and win the giveaway 🙂
Terry Chase
My 2015 goal is to do an original design FMQ using your techniques. I have a lot of Superior Thread but wouldn’t mind getting more! But I do home to get it done before 2016. 😉
