Sew - New Threads

We recently decided to expand the range of Aurifil threads we stock. So have just introduced the 50 wt which is the orange spool. As you can see the colours below are yummy, almost good enough to eat. They really make us want to SEW!
 The 50 wt thread is beautiful and fine and is great for free motion quilting. It is also ideal for hand piecing hexagons and also hand applique..... Lizzet and I selected a range of colours that we felt we would like to use when quilting.....
This week I had a bit of fun piecing some blocks to jazz up a few of Liberty's little t-shirts. Just simple stuff because that's what looks the best. Here I have used the Aurifil 12 wt - red spool which is a little thicker for a more pronouced thread. It works perfectly for blanket stitch around my hearts....
