My new favorite thread

Ive been on the hunt for the best the thread since I started quilting and learned just how important good thread is, for your finished product and your machine. I somehow learned of this brand, ordered some to try out, and am now hooked. LOVE IT. Love that its 100% cotton. Love that it has a beautiful satin finish, giving it a little bit of shine. And love the colors.

I mean, look at these gorgeous colors! And at $2.49 for a spool of 1200 yards you cant go wrong. They even go on sale sometimes.

And I might have loved them so much, that I went back and ordered the black/white/grey set too.

Yumminess

After a long hiatus from blogging, Im glad to be back. Life put us through a whirlwind with having baby #2, making some major life changes and surviving the holidays. Im really ready to get back into sharing my passion. And not a better way to jump back in than with this yumminess.

Enjoying the texture of a nice tightly wrapped jelly roll before letting it loose...so hard to finally open it up!
