I have recently discovered a love for colored threads, specifically for quilting.
Beautiful cotton sewing threads in colors other than beige, white, or grey.
Rowan Threads have been specifically designed to coordinate with Amy Butler's Love and Soul Blossoms (yet to be released) fabric collections, as well as Kaffe Fassett's Stones and Circus collection.
There are nine spools (200 yards each) of premium cotton thread for each of the collections, packaged in adorable (recycled) boxes. They looks so beautiful in their packaging, I do however intend on using these threads soon.
I love quilting with colored threads. I *really* like using variegated thread! :)
ReplyDeleteThose threads look absolutely delicious!

you always manage to turn something simple into something beautiful. i love that you made that with threads today. the photos are great and the colours really show.
ReplyDeletealso, i notice the new header. loved it!!! sometimes less is more right?
Wow, the boxed alone make me want to find those. With the thread, they're like little art pieces!
ReplyDeleteThat is great that the threads MATCH the fabric line! no more guessing or trying to find the right lighting in the store to compare!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the post.. they look yummy tooo!
just finished my first machine quilted quilt! I personally find using white or beige a tad bit boring so used red thread for the quilting (matching my fabric of course) and it turned out great and I don't know why in the heck I waited so long ... been doing everything by hand!
ReplyDeleteLove your blog! look forward to reading your posts!
I was totally drooling over these at Quilt Market and just can't wait to get some for myself - they're soooo pretty!
ReplyDeleteWhere did you buy these from?
ReplyDeleteNow THERE'S something I can buy while on my fabric diet!
ReplyDeleteI love those thread sets! I think I am going to do some machine quilting in red, in addition to hand quilting.
ReplyDeleteI am having a little trouble with the voile puckering - did this happen to you? I blogged about it in hopes to hear some help - Rachel (from stitched in color) suggested I use a microtex needle? Since this is my first quilt, I am just so nervous I am going to mess it up! : )
Aren't they wonderful? They have been flying out of the shop! I love all the colors and the weights of the threads. Just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI love quilting with colored thread! Welcome to the other side :) Your collection looks so pretty wrapped all tight in those cute little boxes!
