Now I am 5 ~ Aurifil thread box Giveaway!
**Giveaway now closed**
Last month my blog turned five! I can't believe how quickly that time has gone but I also feel like I have come such a long way. I genuinely love being part of this community, I have learnt so much, made true friends and feel lucky to have found my tribe. Sewing can be an isolating pastime and connecting through my blog / social media has really given me so much inspiration, encouragement and support.
As a thank you to all my lovely followers, I have a big box of delicious thread from Aurifil to giveaway!
The box contains 12 beautiful spools of 40wt Aurifil thread. This thread is perfect for machine quilting, embroidery or appliqué and can also be used for hand piecing.
The 'Big City' kit was designed in collaboration with the talented Sara Lawson. You get a range of pretty and bright colours:
2425 (pink), 2530 (bright pink), 2225 (peachy orange), 2115 (yellow), 1231 (green), 4093 (deep turquoise), 5005 (blue), 1320 (true blue), 2510 (lilac), 1243 (purple), 2021 (white), 2625 (gray).
I'm excited about my upcoming projects and have a renewed passion for creativity that I can't wait to explore. Thank you all for following my blog and it is a joy to have you with me on my journey 💟

delightful haberdashers
I enjoy shopping online; the ease, the ability to order from the comfort of my sofa and the hours I can spend browsing beautiful fabrics and haberdashery. I like finding interesting and independent shops. Most importantly I like quality products and great service, which you will always find with my sponsors. I will also share other shops (not sponsored) that I like and would recommend.
Recently I found the haberdashery while searching for some Sashiko thread. It is a shop full of beautiful products from Japan, including beautiful Nani Iro fabrics and other haberdashery from the Netherlands and Australia. They kindly sent a sample of some of their products when I ordered white Sashiko thread. For a special touch and excellent customer service check out the haberdashery.
I will be trying some Sashiko for the first time (something I keep wanting to do) and I'm hoping with the help of The Ultimate Sashiko Sourcebook: Patterns, Projects and Inspirations
I will be able to attempt a quilt. I can practice some patterns and that could be turned into a nice project for this month's theme 'The Rising Sun' at le challenge.

I have a stash of 30s reproduction fabrics I'm collecting for the the Green Tea and Sweet Beans quilt that I will be starting at some point. I decided using just those fabrics was too 'put together' and I wanted to throw some other fabrics in that had a similar vibe but in different colours. I chose Cracking Codes in Jade, Dowry by Anna Maria Horner, Lincoln Log in Malachite, Florence by Denyse Schmidt and Scattered Floral in Lime, Urban Classics by Nancy Mahoney.
I love the lines and details of this print, Urban Classics has some gorgeous prints and since I won a Customer Advisory Board survey voucher I went ahead and ordered more fabric from Annie yesterday! Share those with you soon. The Village Haberdashery has a fab sale section and this weekend all red fabrics are 10% off with no voucher needed, so hurry (good excuse to get this!).
This week my mum gave me a huge bag of vintage (?) tapestry wool. I picked out these colours for a project I'd like to do at some point (maybe when I've finished some of my FAL list!). I love the Penelope labels.
Finally I bought some ridiculous cheap cotton thread off Ebay (just search cotton thread pack and I'm sure similar will show up). I need a variety of colours for my applique and as much as I love Aurifil, there's no way I could vaguely afford a big selection. I'm hoping these are going to be ok quality or at least suffice!
