Hi everyone!

Happy Thursday!! We hope everyone is having a colorful day! It’s bright and sunny here, and we are feeling great! :) It’s the perfect day to wear a flowy, maxi dress such as Burda Style’s Smocked Maxi Dress. We created our own variations of the dress, and shared them on the blog this week. Be sure to check it out HERE! :)

It’s also time for this week’s Thankful Thursday! This week, we are taking the time to thank one incredible company, Aurifil! Founded in 1983, Aurifil is an Italian-based company that specializes in creating the utmost quality of high-quality cotton threads. Aurifil’s threads are the leading choice for sewing and quilting enthusiasts for their wide variety in color choices, variety in thread weights, and of course, their fantastic quality. They have a great selection of wool, cotton, and invisible threads – threads for all your project needs! As well, Aurifil is modern and fresh, always coming out with new ideas and innovative products and working with the best in the industry. They also work with fabric companies and designers to create thread collections, and are very active on social media & the sewing and quilting blogging community.

We had the absolute pleasure of chatting and meeting Alex Veronelli from Aurifil at this past Spring Quilt Market. It was wonderful getting to meet him in person and, as we had already knew, was such a great person to chat with. We were super excited that they were interested in working with us, and we decided to start things off with a couple of collaborative giveaways. Our first giveaway was our Penelope Collection, along with a coordinating box of Aurifil threads that we handpicked. Our last giveaway was with our Itty Bitty by Andrea Turk Collection, and Aurifil also generously allowed us to give away some more thread goodies!! We also received a box of Aurifil threads for our projects, which we will be using in future How To’s Day posts. We are so thankful for the incredible generosity from Aurifil, we cannot thank Alex and Kim enough. And…we are also very excited for what is to come! ;)

We are so sure that all our fellow sewing enthusiasts are familiar with Aurifil threads, but if not, be sure to check out their website, as well as their Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest. You’ll be happily mesmerized by all the stunning & delicious threads!! Thank you, oh so much, Aurifil and we cannot wait for what is to come. Have a fantastic day!! :)

Happy Sewing!
