I'm an Aurifil Artisan!

The most amazing thing happened recently - I applied to become an Aurifil Artisan for 2018, and I was selected.  The Aurifil Artisans are a group of men and women from around the world that use Aurifil in a variety of disciplines.  From hand piecing and machine embroidery to garments and quilts, we are bound by our love of thread and our passion to create.

If you've followed my blog or Instagram account, you have surely noticed that I am a huge fan of Aurifil thread.  I first found Aurifil during a class at a local shop back in 2013, and I've been hooked ever since.  With 270 amazing colors to choose from, what is there really not to like?

If you're seeing this because you found my page because of Aurifil, I'd like to take the opportunity to welcome you to my itty bitty corner of the blogosphere!  I tend to post here more sporadically, but I post on my Instagram page regularly.  It's mostly sewing pics with the occasional pet photo thrown in.  

I like to think of myself as a quilter, bag maker, and a maker of whatever suits my fancy at the time.  For the most part, I use the 50 weight 100% cotton thread for piecing quilts, and I use the 40 weight 100% cotton thread when I make bags or for the limited amount of quilting that I do (mostly quilting on the bags to be honest).  When I'm not sewing, I am usually still sewing (in my head) because I also work as a freelance technical editor!  

I am looking forward to having the opportunity to play with other offerings from the company (especially their monofilament) and being able to share those experiences with you over the next year.
