Ok, so I’ve fallen in love with thread. I ordered one  of every single cotton thread that Superior Threads carries. I wanted to “test drive” them first to see if they are worth stocking in my store.

The verdict – yes they are! (But it will probably be a couple of weeks before I actually have them for sale on-line.)

Look at all these luscious colors! I toured their factory last year when I was in the area and was impressed with their organization and what they had to offer. I even studied up on what type of thread to use to make my quilts stand out and how to eliminate tension problems. It basically boils down to good quality thread from a reputable company.

I also splurged and bought a pack of silk threads that are just heavenly. They are so smooth and pretty!

The pictures below show some detail quilting that I added to a quilt I made for a friend last year. I’ll be entering it in my guild’s quilt show next month and wanted to jazz it up a bit. The silk thread really shines!
