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 love all the colors you have, but I would give preference to the cotton thread. There will be some lucky quilters with your “de-stashing” give aways, that’s for sure.

    Would like polyester thread for working on free motion quilting. My trees came out beautiful. Thank you for the giveaways and inspiration.

    What a lovely giveaway, I have never had the opportunity to try Superior. I am generally a cotton lover but the poly looks as if it might do a wonderful job with some detail quilting, so guess I will expand my little world and say the polyester this time. Thanks for the giveaway.

    I’ve used both for quilting and enjoy them both for different projects. If I had to choose – I’d choose poly – I have more cotton in my stash I could always use 🙂

    I love Superior Thread! I’ve used both their cotton and poly, I’d be thrilled with either. Thank you so much for the very generous giveaway.
