Threadmongers will be there with lots of quilting, piecing, applique, and embellishment  threads for you.  Always discounted prices and always the premium threads that quilters crave!

See you this weekend!

West Sound Quilters are ready for you! October 4-5

So much quilting going on in the Bremerton metro area!  So the West Sound Quilters are putting on their annual show this weekend at President's Hall in the Kitsap County Fairgrounds!

You'll enjoy their "Community Stars" theme with lots of quilts and artistic endeavors from local folks - maybe you know some of them! 

Threadmongers will be there!  As winter approaches, you KNOW you need thread for those long winter nights when you'll be quilting by firelight!  Seems like that calls for glow-in-the-dark thread...!


Your holiday season projects and gifts need the best and most beautiful threads.  Come and see what I have for you!

Eastside Quilters in Bellevue! August 15th.

 
Thursday, August 15th, I'm giving a program for the Eastside Quilters that is an overview of Thread by Weight and Fiber Content.  It's my most-requested program! 


So I'm looking forward to seeing all those Eastside folks and maybe a few visitors.

Yes, I'm bringing THREAD for sale.  Not everything that I take to quilt shows because that involves about a three-hour setup and a two-hour breakdown.  But I'm bringing a LOT and we will discuss the various uses for the various weights and fibers.

My next quilt show after this will be the Sea Pals of Ocean Shores, September 20-22.  With more to come!  Check back on this blog for my fall schedule.

You need to stock up on thread!

Quilts by me!

People ask me all the time if I make quilts. When I'm standing in the booth, surrounded by thread and quilts.  Yes, I do!  I make LOTS of them.

Here are five quilts that I exhibited at the Woolley Fiber Quilters quilt and fiber show, July 12-14, 2019.  This is one of the quilting groups I belong to and we work really hard to put on a great show every year!

 

And here is a photo of my booth at the show, with a collection of quilts and table runners that I have made to show off the beautiful threads!

Time for a little time off!

THANKS! to all the customers who stocked up on thread this weekend at the Woolley Fiber Quilters quilt and fiber show!  It was well-attended and so fun to see people who are SO interested in quilting!

This month is my 14th anniversary as the Threadmonger!  Thanks to everyone who loves quilting thread and comes to me for the best!  And here is my annual reminder that Alene Kempton Gragg was my very first customer, 14 years ago.

Here is a photo of my friend, Jaretta, as she booth-sat for me for a few minutes this weekend:  NEVER leave your camera within her reach when you are gone or you will come back to a dozen of her selfies!

I am going to have a little hiatus now, but I'll see you at the Eastside Quilters' meeting on August 15th and at the Sea Pals show in Ocean Shores September 20-22.

Keep quilting and use up that thread!  So you'll need more!!
