Christa’s Year of Weekly Giveways #38 – Thread Destashing (2 Winners)

I love machine quilting and collecting lots of different colors, weights and fibers of threads. Recently I’ve decided to stock up on Aurifil as my go-to thread of choice so that means two lucky winners will get to help me destash my threads!

First up I will give one winner a bunch of spools of Superior cotton thread in a variety of colors. These are all 50 weight, 2 ply cotton which are great for piecing as well as machine quilting. I’ll even throw in the rest of my prewound cotton bobbins (since they don’t fit my new Bernina’s larger bobbin case).

20131225_threadThe other giveaway selection is also from Superior and it’s a stack of 40 weight tri-lobal polyester threads. (It won’t be quite as many as shown below – but however many I can fit in a flat rate envelope!)

These are great for machine quilting when you really want your quilting to shine! I just have too much, so I must reduce my stash (yeah and it’s really then just an excuse to go buy more, LOL!)

Thread

This week’s question to answer is simple. Which threads would you prefer to win? The cotton or the poly? I’ll divide the answers into two categories and choose one winner at random for each. (Unfortunately, due to shipping constraints, I’ll have to choose US winners this time.)

Leave your answer below by Wednesday, January 1st at noon. I’ll select two winners at random and will email them directly. (I’ll also announce their names on my blog during next week’s giveaway.)

Good luck and here’s to a great new year!

Last Week’s Winner:

Congratulations to Jacklyn G. who won a Joel Dewberry Bungalow bundle. For those that didn’t win, there are still a few bundles left on clearance, so stock up while you can!

    I would love to work with the polyester threads. I already use poly by Guterman and Auryfil and very happy with them. I do not live in the US, but I could pay for shipping, or maybe you could considder shipping to my family in the US who will be visiting us in 2014?

    Would love the cottons, but I am not afraid to use poly! I have a serious shortage of thread so would be thrilled to win your de-stash.:)

    It keeps telling me I’ve done a duplicate entry…..and I haven’t. So hopefully this works. I’d love to win the Cotton threads! How very sweet of you to offer such a great giveaway!!!

    The cottons would be fabulous for piecing…love the poly too, but spools are harder to use on my longarm! I am also a Superior Thread hoarder!!!

    Christa, I love your de-stashes! I would love the cotton threads. It would help so much in all the soldier quilting I do, and I love Superior threads. I used them a lot back in the days of my longarm business! Thanks so much for the chance to win! The other threads look lovely, too, but I don’t have any experience with them, and I’m just beginning that machine quilting journey on the domestic machine.

    I would like to give the poly a try. I would like to thank you for your recent posts on machine quilting. They have been a lot of help and inspiration.

    I love the rich colors and beautiful sheen of Superior poly threads. I originally started using it for my embroidery machine, but also use it for quilting. Thank you for the lovely giveaway. I am preparing to destash some of my fabrics in the new year, but can always make room for thread.
