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!

Int'l Quilt and Fiber Arts Festival Oct. 6-7-8!

Threadmongers 1Q and 2Q schedule for 2022

As our pandemic restrictions ease, a little, quilt shows are coming back on line!  So nice to look forward to spending time among beautiful quilts with beautiful friends.  So here are some opportunities for you to find quilts and THREADMONGERS at regional shows in Washington. 

But first, here are a few reminders: 

These shows will follow the government's pandemic requirements in place for the date/location of the event.  This is to ensure your safety and the health of the community.  

Bring your proof of vaccination, as it may be required to enter a public event. 

Bring a good quality mask - bring two if you think you may want to change. 

Bring a tote bag, just like you do to the supermarket.  Washington state eliminated single-use bags on October 1, 2021. 

Bring cash to speed up your transaction.  Many venues have very slow Internet access for credit/debit card processing. 

Here we go!

Come and see Threadmongers at these great quilt shows!

Welcome to Threadmongers!

Welcome to everyone traveling here from the Quilters Anonymous 2021 Online Quilt Show!  

And welcome to everyone else!

I hope you enjoyed the fabulous quilts and I hope you are here because you love thread!

Threadmongers does not have a retail web site.  But you are encouraged to send me a list, via e'mail, of the threads you need and I will let you know what's in stock!  Just as I have been doing for the past 15 years as the Threadmonger, I carry the threads that quilters CRAVE for piecing, quilting, applique, embellishment, and fiber art!  Hundreds of color choices among 25 brands and 80 different products!

Prices are discounted from the manufacturer's suggested retail price.  I don't list them here but would be happy to send you details via e'mail. 

Feel free to send me questions and your list of needs to:  
judyjj@threadmongers.com 

There is a list on this page on the right hand sidebar of threads I carry.  If I am out of a certain thread you need I can order it!  

Right now I have a TON of 1300 meter spools of Aurifil in stock, as well as many of their 5900 meter cones.  

Lots of King Tut in cones and a good selection of spools. 

LOTS of Valdani pearl cotton in #8 and #12 sizes. 

Wonderfil threads such as Invisafil, Deco Bob, Konfetti, Fabulux, and Spotlite!

Glide in cones and spools!

I'll post more photos here of fun temptations for you so check back often! 

I sure miss being a vendor at our regional shows.  But I have lots of customers who order from me and who stop by my house in Sedro-Woolley and pick up what they need. 

For those of you who reached this page without visiting the QA show, here is the link!  https://qavqs.org/

Thanks for coming to see the Threadmonger and let's have a GREAT quilting 2021!

Woolley Fiber Quilters present "United We Stand" July 12-13-14!

The Woolley Fiber Quilters are having their 10th annual quilt and fiber show!

I could say "we" are having because this is my local group.  We are not a guild, per se, but we are the administrative group that puts on the show in Sedro-Woolley so that all the local fiber artists can show their work. 



There is no doubt that Sedro-Woolley is a quilting town!  We have several active quilting groups and TWO quilt shops!  Plus Threadmongers!

So make that beautiful drive to Sedro-Woolley on July 12-13-14 and come on out to see us at Cascade Middle School (905 McGarigle Road) just off Highway 9.  We'll show you 250+ quilts, demonstrations, vendors, a member boutique, and our popular bed turning! 

Food will be available for purchase on site and we have GREAT parking!

One of our vendors will be a scissors sharpening booth and you SHOULD bring your scissors and let Butch tune them up while you enjoy the show.

Threadmongers will be there with a fresh collection of #12 pearl cotton from Valdani as well as all your favorites.  Yes, I still have the lowest price on Aurifil that you will find anywhere.  And lots of metallic threads for your sparkly moods!

Come see the Woolley Fiber Quilters show and help us celebrate 10 years - we can hardly believe it.   There is so much inspiration for you here in Sedro-Woolley. 

And you need thread!

This BIG guild is having a BIG quilt show this week! 
And easy to find at the Clark County Events Center right on I-5!

The wet spring weather makes us want to stay inside and quilt!  Where will your inspiration come from?  Clark County Quilters!!

Full disclosure: I lived in Vancouver WA for a time and I'm still a member of this guild.  I know these people - they have so much talent and they want to share it with you!  I heard there will be 500 quilts on display!

And Threadmongers will be there!

So will AWARD WINNING QUILTER LYNN CZABAN !!

So travel a little this weekend - up or down I-5 - and scoot on in at Exit 9.  Just follow the signs!  Carpool with friends!

Sunbonnet Sues in Sequim!

The annual Sequim Lavender Festival brings a lot of folks to town - but so do the quilts!  What a great event they have for a midsummer adventure.  You need to take a day or a weekend and come on out to Sequim for the lavender, the friendliness, and the quilt show!

I saw the raffle quilt last year when it was still just a top and I KNEW that it would be spectacular!  And it is!  Their theme is "Don't bug me, I'm quilting".  Bugs galore!

And because Sequim is the World Headquarters for The Applique Society you can always expect some great applique.  Bugs and flowers and everything!

Threadmongers will be there - my 10th year with the Sunbonnet Sues!  So much fun and many long time friends.  You need thread!
