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!

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! 

Threadmongers - closeout on Treasure hand quilting thread

As most of you know, Threadmongers does not have a retail web site.  I just sell thread at quilt shows (mostly in Washington State) and fill special orders for customers from my home.

Most of you also know that Threadmongers has a TREMENDOUS amount of thread!  

So I'm going to post some special deals here from time to time.  Some will be closeouts and some will be specials for your enjoyment.

Here is a great deal if you are a hand quilter!  Superior's "Treasure" hand quilting thread which is a substantial 30 weight, three-ply glazed thread. 


Take a look at the offer below.  This is sold as a lot of 12 spools only.  Don't need it all?  Go together with a friend and split the order!  I'll take one credit card and mail it to one place.
