Threadmongers upcoming shows! April 2024

I have already enjoyed being a vendor at the Kitsap Quilters, Quilters Anonymous, and Tri-Cities Quilters shows during 1Q 2024!  

Next up is the Clark County Quilters' show - known as "Quiltfest Northwest"!  April 4-5-6 at the Clark County Event Center in Ridgefield. 

[Full disclosure - I'm a member of Clark County Quilters!]

This is always a BIG show with LOTS of variety to share!  Special exhibits, demonstrations, featured quilter, vendors, opportunity quilt, challenge quilts and blocks, and the wonderful works of the members!

Plan to attend if you are anywhere near southwest Washington and hey, it's worth driving to if you love great quilt shows!

Threadmongers will be there with all your favorites plus silk ribbon and some new-to-you threads that will make your projects amazing!

Look for more updates on the Threadmongers Facebook page and get ready for more 2024 quilt shows!  

You definitely need thread!

Hand Quilting Threads - use your favorites!

Hand quilting - what threads do you like?

Technically, you can hand quilt with anything. It just depends on the "look" you want for your project.

You can use a "glazed" thread that is pre-treated with a thread conditioner, or use a non-glazed thread and treat it yourself with a thread conditioner like Thread Magic.

Many quilters prefer a 40-weight cotton hand quilting thread:

YLI Select traditional hand quilting glazed thread

YLI 40-weight non-glazed thread

Aurifil 40-weight thread

Mettler 40-weight thread

King Tut 40-weight thread

Or something heavier?

Aurifil 28-weight thread

Sulky 30-weight thread

Or even heavier?

Aurifil 12-weight thread

Wonderfil's Spagetti 12-weight thread

Valdani #12 Pearl Cotton

Threadmongers has them all! Plus traditional Sashiko thread or use a 12-weight thread for your Sashiko stitching.

See all these threads plus MANY MORE at the Clark County Quilters QuiltFest Northwest October 21-23 or at the Block Party Quilters show November 12-14. Or PM me her to inquire! Yes, I mail thread orders all the time! 

QuiltFest Northwest is coming soon! October 21-23

Threadmongers will be a vendor at this amazing show! If you are anywhere near Clark County, get this on your calendar!!

Threadmongers show schedule for 3Q and 4Q 2021!

Yay!  The big improvement in COVID numbers has allowed some Western Washington guilds to proceed with their quilt shows!

Many guilds are not able to reschedule – largely because of issues pertaining to venues and time needed for preplanning.  So we are LUCKY that these PLUCKY guilds are gearing up for shows:

Welcome to everyone visiting from the Clark County Quilters' show!

Did you navigate here from www.quiltfestnw.org? 

 
The Clark County Quilters have designed an AMAZING virtual quilt show (and I REALLY mean that) for everyone to see online!  And they're leaving it up until at least December 31! 

When you visit, plan to take your time...don't rush...and come back often.  The web site has so much to see that you probably need to take a break occasionally!

If there was an in-person show this year I would be there, as would the rest of the fine vendors listed on their vendor tab.  But due to the pandemic, we are doing things differently, creatively, and wholeheartedly for the love of quilting. 

Threadmongers does not have a retail web site, but you are welcome to PM me here or on Facebook (look for Threadmongers) and tell me about your thread needs.  The Threadmonger is always here for you. 

For now, enjoy the Clark County Quilters' Quiltfest Northwest and you will see that they deserve all the accolades that they are getting for this fabulous concept show!
