The giveaway weeks flew by. Are you ready for Week 6? I think it’s a great one!
Look at this yummy goodness!
Aurifil has provided a Simply Color by V and Co. cotton thread collection in the large spool size. This is a ton of thread. TON. It’s also in my absolute favorite weight, 50.
Their 50 wt cotton mako thread is perfect for paper, hand or machine piecing as well as machine quilting. It’s also fantastic because you rarely need to clean any build up from your machine and your bobbin seem to last forever. Due to the fine thread, a lot of it can fit on one tiny bobbin.
This week will have two winners!
Sew Lux has donated an email subscription to their new Club Medallion Border of the Month.
There is still plenty of time to sign up. Starting in October, on the 10th of every month, you’ll receive a block or border pattern in PDF format via email for 6 months.
I love how it’s one border per month, so you won’t feel overwhelmed. Sew Lux also has fabric kits available to go with the Border of the Month in 2 colorways:
Both winners will also receive a copy of the Quilt Bee App if they have an Apple device.

These giveaways have been fantastic. Congratulations to who ever wins
September 15, 2013 at 6:24 am
OCD – I have to have everything cleaned up, scraps sorted etc. in my sewing room before beginning a new project! I also sew without shoes – the foot pedals respond better!
September 15, 2013 at 6:30 am
Thanks for hosting these giveaways!
September 15, 2013 at 6:34 am
I suppose I do have some odd habits when it comes to sewing, but like some other habits you’re not aware you have them until someone else points it out.
September 15, 2013 at 6:55 am
I like to sew with my sewing machine at an angle.
September 15, 2013 at 7:05 am
I can’t have any any stray threads…..must be clipped!
September 15, 2013 at 7:13 am
Thanks for the chance! I have several sewing quirks, but the most annoying is that I have to be barefoot when using my machine. I just can’t seem to do anything right when I have on shoes, even flip flops!
September 15, 2013 at 7:26 am
Awesome giveaways!! I can’t think of anything quirky that I do … I’m sure there must be a few!! Thanks for the chance!
September 15, 2013 at 7:29 am
For hand sewing, I like being curled into the corner of the sofa with plenty of light.
September 15, 2013 at 7:41 am
thanks for these amazing giveaways. Odd sewing habits – I like to just work on one project at a time – I get so stressed if I have more than one project on the go!
September 15, 2013 at 7:42 am
I sew in my bare feet. For some reason I can feel the foot control better, or at least I think I can. Thanks for the great giveaway.
September 15, 2013 at 7:56 am
Thanks for the fab giveaways Julie!
I’m another barefoot sewist! Only wear shoes to sew when I’m at quilt group and that feels very weird!
September 15, 2013 at 8:02 am
I usually have several projects on the go. Have just discovered English Paper piecing and always have a few bits by my spot on the sofa. I love aurifil thread. Use it all the time.
September 15, 2013 at 8:08 am
Odd: I usually sew with a seam ripper in my mouth.teeth. I just hate fishing around for it when I need it and I almost always feed my stitching through the machine with the seam ripper.
September 15, 2013 at 8:13 am
Oh, goodness, those threads are Beautiful!! I really need to try aurifil.
odd sewing habit? hmm, I do try to start and finish projects rather than having lots going at once.
September 15, 2013 at 8:16 am
I have to have my sewing area picked up and clean before I can start a new sewing project.
September 15, 2013 at 8:27 am
I often use the English paper piecing method when sometimes piecing by machine would do the trick,don’t know why I do this but I do
September 15, 2013 at 8:30 am
Awesome giveaway! Odd habit, I use my seem ripper to hold my seams in place instead of pinning when matching seams.
September 15, 2013 at 8:36 am
Great colors in the Aurifil thread. I use a toothpick as my stiletto!
September 15, 2013 at 8:38 am
I always set a timer when I sew. Habit from keeping track of commissioned quilt time
September 15, 2013 at 8:39 am
I can’t sew barefoot so no matter how hot it gets in my room I have to have my slippers on. I can’t drive barefoot either (my husband does all the time).
September 15, 2013 at 8:41 am
I cannot sew with my machine against the wall. It has to be turned so it is open on the other side. Thanks for the giveaway
September 15, 2013 at 8:49 am
I enjoy sewing the most if I’m facing a window…can’t sew if I’m facing a wall.
September 15, 2013 at 8:57 am
I sew facing a window too! Other than that can’t htink of an odd habit
September 15, 2013 at 9:05 am
Morning is my favorite time to sew! Not sure if that’s odd.
FANTASTIC giveaway. I really need some more colors.
September 15, 2013 at 9:15 am
It may seem odd that I use my left foot for the foot control. It’s because I use my right leg for the knee lift and if I try to do everything with my right leg and foot I get everything muddled.
September 15, 2013 at 9:31 am
I need to sew facing a window too and I have to have shoes on !! Thanks for the giveaway !!
September 15, 2013 at 9:35 am
I can’t sew with shoes on, sometimes I can’t sew with even socks on.
September 15, 2013 at 9:36 am
I have to sew barefoot, shoes mess with my speed and my head. I think it is because I’m happiest when I’m barefoot, and quilting so they go together like peas and carrots.
September 15, 2013 at 9:50 am
That thread looks soooo yummy! This has been so fun Julie, thanks for a chance at six weeks of goodies:)
September 15, 2013 at 10:00 am
Oh, and the weirdest thing I do is stop to vacuum. I like to throw everything on the floor and then it ends up driving me crazy! And no shoes here either:)
September 15, 2013 at 9:51 am
I sew barefoot, clean every day so I have a clean space to start again!
Thanks for the giveaways!
September 15, 2013 at 9:55 am
I must sew barefoot, even at sewing class. I must have a clean space to start with even the floors. The tv needs to be on and no sewing in my pjs unless it’s late at night. That’s all I can think of but I bet ill find a few more once I sit down at the machine. Thanks for the great giveaway!
September 15, 2013 at 9:59 am
I have to sew barefoot, it just doesn’t work any other way!
September 15, 2013 at 10:20 am
Funny about all the barefoot sewist- I have to have shoes on. I hate the feel of the pedal on my feet.
September 15, 2013 at 10:35 am
Whenever I’m pinning or unpinning, I have a few pins in my mouth. This doesn’t inhibit my ability to talk.
September 15, 2013 at 10:51 am
Like many before me, I cannot sew with any type of shoe on.
September 15, 2013 at 10:54 am
Besides sewing without shoes, I also don’t like to face a wall.
September 15, 2013 at 10:56 am
I sew barefoot!
September 15, 2013 at 10:59 am
I can’t sew with shoes on at all! I have to be barefooted.
September 15, 2013 at 11:10 am
Almost like Eleanor Burns, instead of throwing excess fabric on floor while cutting, I clip every end of seam thread while sewing and throw it on the floor! Don’t clean them up until I’m finished sewing the item, either! LOL!
September 15, 2013 at 11:16 am
I have to have my old fashioned radio (as my nephew calls it) on while I sew.
September 15, 2013 at 12:15 pm
I don’t pull all of my fabrics out to audition for the current project. I start with one inspiring print or solid, and pick the others I think might work, one by one, cut and keep again to its corresponding place.
September 15, 2013 at 12:24 pm
Oh yes! I’m a neat freak! I won’t start a project unless everything is in its place and I won’t leave the sewing room at the end of the day unless everything is cleaned up and in its place!
I guess that’s a good thing!
Thank you so much for all of your fun giveaways, it’s been a blast!!

Once I start a project, I have to finish it before starting another. UFO’s would drive me crazy.
September 15, 2013 at 1:27 pm
i have to sew with heels or platform shoes, so i can reach the pedal comfortably.
September 15, 2013 at 1:37 pm
I sew barefoot!! Can’t stand shoes!!! Thank for all the great giveaways this has been fun!!!
September 15, 2013 at 1:39 pm
I don’t know if this counts as an odd habit, but lately I’ve been bringing my sewing downstairs from my sewing room, as much as I can, so I can be on the same floor as my dog, who is getting up in years. She’s not allowed upstairs. And I feel bad leaving her for so long while I sew. She misses me enough when I have to leave the house!
September 15, 2013 at 1:50 pm
I can’t sew with shoes on. Not just at home… If I am at a class at least my “driving shoe” has got to go!
September 15, 2013 at 2:13 pm
I need to clean before I start projects. I leave a mess behind each time and I can not sew with a mess around. Its a good one but it takes a bit to do it each time
September 15, 2013 at 2:16 pm
I never sew with my shoes on and I have to clip the starting thread after a few stitches before I go on.
