2017 First half quilt show schedule for THREADMONGERS!



How exciting to start the “quilt show year” again!  As I get my shows lined up for the season, I think about all the friends I have made at these shows and how much fun we have getting back in touch after the long winter! 

The first show of the year belongs to those Kitsap Quilters, as usual.  I can hardly wait to see what they do with this year’s theme!

Fidalgo Island Quilters - another great show!

Thanks to the Fidalgo Island Quilters for another great and fun show at the Swinomish Casino this past weekend!  Did you come to the show and stop by to see the Threadmonger?  Here are some booth photos to remember me by:

 

HUNDREDS (if not thousands) of spools and cones of your favorite quilting and piecing threads as well as threads for embellishment and specialty needles. 

And your thread questions answered! 

Be sure to use the best quality threads in your beautiful projects!

Threadmongers schedule March through June 2016!

I have had some inquiries in the past week regarding my upcoming show schedule.  So I thought I'd post it again!  My first show of the year was with the Kitsap Quilters in Bremerton and it was SUCH a great time!  Quilters never fritter the winter away - they get a lot of quilts ready for the first shows of the year!

Here are my shows coming up.  I don't have a show in March, but I'm doing four fabulous shows in a row in April!  In the spring, quilters' thoughts turn to THREAD!

Blast of Farms - Sedro-Woolley's BIG quilt show!

I'm so lucky to be living in a town full of quilters!  This is the sixth annual show for the Woolley Fiber Quilters and this year we are celebrating the Skagit farming community with the theme "Blast of Farms".  You can find out all about it at:

www.woolleyfiberquilters.blogspot.com

In the meantime, have you seen these?  They are the DELICIOUS new #8 pearl cottons from Wonderfil, designed by Sue Spargo!  Brand new in the thread world, they come in variegated and solid colors and are wound on spools instead of the little pearl cotton balls you may be used to. 
70 yards per spool.  A tight twist and wonderful smooth surfaces to help you make those intricate and beautiful Sue Spargo stitches!

The line is called "Eleganza".  So many to appreciate!!

The Threadmonger HAS THEM ALL!!  At Blast of Farms this weekend and at all upcoming shows this year.  Get ready for a new thread adventure!  Oh, I know you are already primed for this one!!

See you at Blast of Farms, June 5-6-7!!

You need thread!
