Pat Sloan's Blog

On the Road with Pat Sloan Giveaway!!

Today I kick off my spring Teaching!! I'm heading to Niceville FL to teach for the Flying Needles Quilt Guild's 2016 Retreat!

All the information is at this link

I was going through some things and found a SECOND copy of the limited edition, all sold out, Quilt Planner that has a quilt of mine in it! 

So I thought to myself.. why not give this away.. do you like that idea?

Even though the year has started, there is so much in here that you can use no matter what.. 

Like the place to list your projects ... i may need more pages for that!

Blocks and patterns!

Plus these gorgeous divider pages, I might pull some out to frame them!

Leave me a comment telling me... 

What do you most want to keep track of this year? 

(2 points if you also sign up for my articles Here)

at dinner time March 1 I'll pick a winner's name!

The winner is Cathy W. who wrote "I'd love to win this planner! I have so many projects and I'm in desperate need of organization! I also want to start keeping better track of the amount of time I spend on my own and charity projects. I hope I'm the lucky one!"

If you are interested in getting a planner.. loads of them here, even coloring ones!

Pat Sloan Hometown Girl Unique Thread Kit

My very unique Hometown Girl Aurifil thread kit contains ALL FOUR thread weights! I want you to be able to experience them all in one kit!

The small spool box has regular 50 wt and three in the thickest 12 wt. 

The regular size box has 12 spools with all four weights. 

• 50 Wt for almost everything.
• 40 wt is slightly thicker for all but your finest handwork where you want to have the thread disappear
• 28 wt is a super nice thickness that really shows off your stitching.
• 12 wt being the thickest for embroidery and machine work (really!) 

I have made a video awhile back about the weights. 

I tell you how to tell which weight is which and what each is used for. 

You can buy my Hometown Girl Thread kits at your favorite shop 

Also here

• Regular size box
• Small spool box (only 2 wts)
• All my Aurifil Thread kits can be found HERE or HERE depending on what is available!

I'd love know if you have tried Aurifil, and which wts have you used? let me know in the comments!
