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.

Most of my answers are listed above. Barefoot, radio in the background.
September 16, 2013 at 11:08 am
I like to quilt barefoot and I like to listen to music. (mostly hard rock!)
September 16, 2013 at 11:11 am
I hold on to all of the thread clippings until the project is completely finished.
September 16, 2013 at 11:12 am
I guess not so odd is sewing barefoot, I also keep all thread scraps and if I am working on a small project like a pin cushion I will use my scrap threads, after all Aurifil is VERY precious.
September 16, 2013 at 11:19 am
I can’t completely finish a project until I know what the next one will be.
September 16, 2013 at 11:19 am
I don’t really have any weird sewing habits that I can think of. I suppose if someone saw me they’d say something is weird, or just me in general. I guess I often don’t cut on my mat starting at one. I’ll often count back from the 18in mark or even from the middle of the board.
September 16, 2013 at 11:28 am
I would have to say my odd sewing habit would be that I do wear shoes. LOL I see by the commets that alot of people don’t! I am always afraid of stepping on pins. Not that I drop that many on the floor, but occasionally I do. I owuld love to win this awesome giveaway. Although I don’t have an Apple Device.
Thank you for having this giveaway!
September 16, 2013 at 11:42 am
I like to have m&ms handy!! Thanks!
September 16, 2013 at 11:52 am
Socks on, tv on, and laptop next to the sewing machine so I can watch my “crops” while sewing.
September 16, 2013 at 11:54 am
I have to take off my shoe when I sew on my Featherweight, but put it back on when I get up. I usually used this machine at my friend’s store. But if I bring my Viking Sapphire, I can leave my shoe on, but forget when I’m there and take it off! lol.
September 16, 2013 at 12:17 pm
I sew barefoot or at least in socks only. I have a hard time sewing with music playing but I can have a movie on the TV…now that is odd
September 16, 2013 at 12:24 pm
I have to have my slippers on. No music because when a good songs comes on I want to get up and dance.
September 16, 2013 at 12:40 pm
I sew with my Crocs on 24-7 all year long, with my fav. TCM channel tv old dear movies in the back ground. ( Turner Classic Movies).
September 16, 2013 at 12:43 pm
I like to sew barefoot and always have about a million projects going at once
September 16, 2013 at 1:09 pm
I cannot sew with shoes or socks on … and I am most productive if Last of the Mohicans is playing. I don’t watch the movie but there are bits of music or scenes that get me into a sewing or spinning rhythm.
September 16, 2013 at 1:12 pm
I only quilt with Aurifil thread…if that’s considered odd. No problems with using Aurifil, something I can’t say for all the other threads I’ve tried over many, many years of quilting. Also, have dark chocolate covered espresso beans in my sewing room at all times. I don’t drink coffee but, these little gems give me just the extra boost I need in the afternoon!
September 16, 2013 at 3:24 pm
Aurifil is the best! It is the only thread I sew with. I also do my best sewing barefoot.
September 16, 2013 at 3:34 pm
I have to have complete silence. I don’t want to hear anything except my machine!! And shoes on always!
September 16, 2013 at 3:57 pm
I like to sit cross legged on my chair whenever I don’t need to use the foot pedal.
September 16, 2013 at 3:58 pm
odd sewing habit is barefoot, which I’m seeing isn’t that odd after all!
and listening to either an audio book or the radio. Thank you for the chance to win!
September 16, 2013 at 4:55 pm
Aurifil 50wt is my go to thread. This set is fantastic – I’d love to win a few more colors!
September 16, 2013 at 5:52 pm
I can’t sew with shoes on.
September 16, 2013 at 6:13 pm
weird sewing habits…can’t think of any…
September 16, 2013 at 6:33 pm
Always sew barefoot, what a great giveaway..Love this thread!!!

I only sew barefoot. And I insist upon haveing my handy dandy lint roller beside me always.
September 16, 2013 at 8:25 pm
Guess it isn’t so odd- after seeing a bunch of other people have said the same thing. I can’t sew with shoes on. I think it started when I lived in Hawaii where I always was barefoot in the house. Now, it’s like I can’t feel the presser foot right with shoes on.
September 16, 2013 at 8:46 pm
I like to sew barefoot.
September 16, 2013 at 8:55 pm
I can only sew barefoot or in socks, and I have to have my little rug under the table to rest my feet on.
September 16, 2013 at 10:08 pm
I’ve just started quilting, but I tend to watch tv, well, listen to it, as I go
Keeps me well entertained!
September 16, 2013 at 10:28 pm
I sew with barefeet in summer & socks in winter (too cold otherwise). And the music needs to be on.
September 16, 2013 at 10:28 pm
I like to sew in my pajamas and my fuzzy pink slippers and listen to symphonic metal. Keeps me comfy and inspired.
September 16, 2013 at 11:02 pm
I sew standing up when I use my Singer Featherweight because I have it set up on my cutting table which is at waist height.
September 16, 2013 at 11:02 pm
I never sew with any shoes on and I always use the foot pedal. It feels weird to use the start stop button.
September 16, 2013 at 11:08 pm
I need bright light and my Ott-lite is right over my shoulder. Thanks for the giveaway. It’s a great introduction to your blog.
September 17, 2013 at 2:10 am
I talk to my fabric when it doesn’t behave….lol
September 17, 2013 at 2:15 am
Most of the time I start a project without figuring out everything or reading through the whole instructions. So in the end I always end up with having to invent a solution for more fabric or bigger blocks or …. 1
September 17, 2013 at 5:29 am
Haha, I’m a barefoot sewist too! I like the extra contact and control being shoe-less provides!
September 17, 2013 at 7:49 am
My strange sewing habit is chewing on my lip… I guess that’s what I do when I focus!
September 17, 2013 at 8:02 am
I can’t think of any weird habits when I sew. I like music on when I’m playing with the fabric though.
September 17, 2013 at 8:03 am
Shoes off til my toes get cold. Tile over cement keeps the floor cool, good for hot days. Also a pair of scissors at each station so I never have to look hard to trim threads.
September 17, 2013 at 8:23 am
I sew without shoes on.
September 17, 2013 at 11:49 am
I can’t sew without shoes either…also I never measure my binding fabric. I just guess and usually it’s a win! 😉
September 17, 2013 at 12:23 pm
Have to sew in sweats and socks or barefoot. Love to watch either chick flicks or bad reality tv. Guilty pleasure plus sewing!
September 17, 2013 at 12:31 pm
I sew barefoot, and watching TV!!!! Got to watch my shows! And I save all of my scraps for more projects!!!!
September 17, 2013 at 1:15 pm
I have to be listening to a book on tape while I am quilting, tv or music doesn’t do it…
September 17, 2013 at 1:41 pm
I like to sew w/ shoes on! And watching tv on my computer!
September 17, 2013 at 4:48 pm
I sew best with country music blaring in the background!
September 17, 2013 at 5:56 pm
I can only sew barefooted or in socks.
September 17, 2013 at 9:19 pm
I don’t have any really odd sewing habits, I just love to sew and try to do it whenever I can!!
September 17, 2013 at 11:10 pm
I tend to like to cut, sew, and press one block or unit at a time, which wouldn’t be a problem except it’s not super efficient. I’ve had to discipline myself to use more assembly line type techniques on larger projects.
