I can't say enough wonderful things about Aurifil thread, and apparently the whole world things it's amazing too! (well the whole Quilt World!).
My friends at the Fat Quarter Shop have new Aurifil thread kits. Let me give you a tour of the 50 weight boxes!
Each box has 10 colors on the small spool, which is 220 incredible yards each!
The patchwork block you see behind the thread, shows the colors in a solid fabric, and that little 10" square block pattern is on the back of the box.
The kits are set up with similar colors to the fabric you see in the block.. let's look at one
This is the Biscotti box, the basic tans, black and cream. The back of the box also has the color numbers listed.
The Macaroon box is pastels.. think macaroon cookies!
Scones are dark yummy warm color tones and the Tart is fresh bright colors!
Links to all of these at the end... but first I want to show you what else I'm crushing on over at the FQS!
Oh yes... Panda-monium has been unleased! A new FREE pattern for this quilt and Kimberly has done a video too! The Macaroon and Biscotti thread boxes are perfect for this quilt.
I totally have the pattern printed and I'm looking at fabric.. but first I MUST show you a few of the other versions.. oh my.. hold on for cuteness!
Angie of Gnome Angel did the 'Pandy Warhol'.... i totally need to copy her.
And Nancy of Owen's Olivia did the bottom right Panda with some Liberty of London.. totally swoon worthy!
