Great colors – and what a perfect match. Looking forward to two weeks of Denmark and a lot of outdoor hand quilting :-)
Beautiful fabric and thread! We are going to Tennessee to see family. I plan to hold my baby nephew for as long as my sister will allow, and read to the toddler nephew as long as he will allow.
At this point, my summer plan is to go with the flow and try to stay cool in the sweltering Alabama heat.
We are heading north to the warmth of Queensland to help our Australian winter school holidays feel more like summer!
I would be whistling Dixie, if I won this thread set!!!!
Such beautiful colors all on one box! Planning to stay busy around home with work and quilting. And a quick weekend trip to Grandma’s.

We are headed to the beach later this month. Until then we just hang out and enjoy time with family and friends.
I love the colors!
Our plans involve a long weekend to see friends in Tennessee, Bible camp for a week, and then absolutely nothing :).
We’re homeschoolers, so we save our plans for when evry9else is in school. :)
I get to spend 3 weeks in MI with my sister. I’m also working on quilts for Christmas presents. I’m sure this sumer will fly by!

Having gone through my thread box this week, I can tell you that I would SURELY APPRECIATE winning this set of GOOD thread ! Thank you for hosting this drawing !
How exciting! No more summer travel just a camp here and there
Dixie and her thread remind me of Summers in the South when I was a girl. Our family will be headed to Holden Beach, NC in a few weeks, and I’m looking forward to bathing myself in the ocean and those colors soon.
O my those are simply beautiful colors so summer sunshine they would work perfectly for the doll outfits I have planned for my darling Leilani 18 in dolly

I really love the colors! I’ll be traveling to Wisconsin to the family cabin on a lake for some summer R & R. Of course my sewing machine makes the trip with me.

Love your fabric. My trip is to Seattle!
I hope to go to the beach, some picnics and bbq and some sewing.

what pretty pictures, such a wonderful sight this chilly winter evening in Melbourne. My summer plans are firstly to get though winter and to whittle down my project list as much as possible.
I have a new goddaughter arriving at the start of our summer (December) so I have an extensive list of what to make for her – at the top is a quilt.
Can’t wait for Dixie to arrive–I love the bright, cheery colors! I’ve just returned from trips to Hawaii and Europe, so now my summer plans are to stay home and quilt!
Love these colors!! We are heading to Alaska on Sunday.
Love those colors! My summer starts with a trip to the Rock and Roll Music Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio. A long drive from the Mississippi Delta! My husband and I are looking forward to a NY Yankees vs Cleveland Indians game while there. He graciously stops along the way and back at quilt shops I find on the Row by Row Experience. Needless to say, he’s awesome!
Very pretty colors!
We might take a day trip to Shipshewana IN where I might find a quilt shop or two!
Two weddings this fall have led to two quilting projects to sew this summer. Both will be scrappy in colors the brides chose.
I have no plans for the summet.

Gorgeous colors! Summer plans…another camping trip and hanging out at the reservoir?
We have no big plans. My high school aged daughter loves her summer job and we’re just going to let her work!
I would so love to own these threads!! Unfortunately our summer fun plans were put on hold by a hospital stay for one of my sons. He’s still recovering so we’re hanging at home this summer.

Just back from a week at the coast and preparing for a visit from the grandies! I would love to put these beautiful colors to work soon after.
I am hoping to get to the International Quilt Museum in Lincoln, NE in July. I was there several years ago and saw the wonderful exhibit of the Grace Synder quilt collection. It was absolutely amazing! Can’t wait to visit again.
Terrific thread colors!
We are inching ever so close to retirement and looking forward to a permanent vacation.
Those are gorgeous!
We’re at the beach!!!
My fun plans for the summer are to watch our youngest child graduate from BYUI, patiently waiting for Dixie and making Suburbs, and going fishing in the eastern sierras.
Oh! Those colors make my heart smile!!!
My big plans include a family reunion and an amusement park weekend.
Happy summer!
Those are some gorgeous thread colours!
I’m going on a narrowboat holiday in mid-August with my family. Should be an interesting experience!
What beautiful colors! We’re going to have some lazy days around the house and do nothing!!!
Those are fantastic colors, so refreshing on a hot summer day. We live in a place people love to vacation, so our summer travel is pretty limited as we enjoy it here. We did just book a long weekend at a favorite B&B that is only about an hour away. Close enough to be convenient, far enough away to not think about the regular ToDo list.
Oooh, I’d LOOOOVE a set of these pretty colors!! Our summer plans included Girls Camp prep, Girls Camp, and post-Girls Camp — that was this weekend. Can you tell I’m the Stake Camp Director? 😂 Now I think we’re going to have to make some actual plans!
Heart those colors too!!! My plans – spending more time with the Grands. Also some quilt field trips- hope to get to Quilted Strait.
No big plans for the summer. Unless you want to count some serious quilt making going on here! Love you fabric line…the colors are so fresh!
Beautiful colors! Our plans for the summer are for me to continue my PT from rotator cuff surgery & heal & become healthy & strong – have just begun to sew a little. Life is good!! Beth in AL
LOVE, Love, love the thread colors and fabrics! Summer plans include helping our daughter move into her new home! :)
Oh my goodness that thread set is perfect for this yummy fabric! I am fairly new to quilting, but just found Aurifil and I LOVE it!!!! I can’t wait to see your fabric in person! Thank you so much for sharing! I have no plans for the summer, but to learn more quilting skills! :)
The thread colors are so refreshing. We are planning a golf trip at the end of July with a group we have enjoyed for ove 40 years.
Wonderful Colours!! No plans for summer. Hopefully, I will be sewing.
We try not to travel in summer, too crowded going to Canada in the fall though
Love the colors! Only plans for the summer is to enjoy it. Winter comes too soon.
Gorgeous colors of fabric and thread! We will be going to Montana in August to fish and relax. Then take some time on the way home to see waterfalls and maybe Crater Lake. There’s even a B&B getaway in the midst for my sweetie and I. Looking forward to it! K-
Awesome colors and I love Aurifil threads!
Yummy fabrics and threads. Staycation for us this summer.
Staying at home, but went to a patriotic concert last wk, and company coming in Aug.
Que colorido tan bonito
I LOVE these fabrics!! The colors are bright and beautiful and the thread is perfect for them! Can hardly wait for them to be available! Thanks for the giveaway!
Such beautiful colors, i would be thrilled to win them. I will spend the month of Aug. at Lake Cowichan, hope the lake still has water in it.
I am trying to be practical and use up my older thread collection, but am having more trouble finding matches for today’s fabrics. Would love to try the set. Such lovely colors.
Great colors! We had a very busy June so I’m looking forward to laying low in July!
We have a few day trips planned but no big holiday. Love your fabric line. Thanks for the chance to win the threads – they’re gorgeous colours.

Love this fabric collection and matching threads too. I’ve already had my big summer holiday (in Peru and Bolivia) but am hoping for some nice sunny weekends at home and in Cornwall
No summer plans until mid-August when we’ll travel from Texas to Michigan to drive with our son back to college. It will be a nice escape from the summer heat and we’ll have a chance to visit with my husband’s family up there!
Love those colors!! We just spent a nice long 4th of July weekend with family at our cabin in Utah
No vacation plans for me this year, other than quilt classes at my LQS!!!!!

We want to go to the Wisconsin State Fair this year. I will be our first time. We live in Illinois, but I’m looking forward to the road trip and FAIR FOOD!!!
Love the colors and Aurifil thread! So far I don’t have any plans for summer but eating a lot of ice cream;-)
Our summer fun is happening now. Have had guests off and on since early June. Love having visitors.
As a brand new quilter, my summer plans include teaching myself as many techniques as possible and acquiring fabrics and threads. Your Aurifil thread pack would certainly get me off of the white thread I used in my first quilt top! I have just started my second. Can’t wait to see your Dixie fabric at my local shop. I’d love to try that pin cushion. Plus my husband, daughter and I will likely take a quick road trip to Las Vegas (cause it’s nearby and nutty) and to visit friends in Sacramento. Thanks for your aspiring blog.
Love these combos! And a huge thank you for your beautiful heart quilt pattern we have all used for the quilts for pulse!!!!
Beautiful thread and fabric! Pretty quiet summer so far, just a few quick trips to see grandchildren and family. Soon we’ll have a new puppy that will take all of our attention and energy. It’ll be like having kids again!
No big plans here, either. We hope to get in a couple of weekend trips up to Lake Tahoe area.
Gorgeous, bright, cheerful colors!! And Aurifil thread rocks my quilty world. This summer the kids and I are spending some time in Ohio with family while my hubs does Army stuff in Europe. Maybe a trip to Edisto Island, SC later in the summer if our schedules work out.
The biggest plans I have are to celebrate my grandsons second birthday!!! And a local craft fair!!! I am loving this Dixie collection. And the Aurifil matches perfectly!!!
I just set up a new sewing station and can’t wait to get to work- these threads are gorgeous!
This Aurifil collection and your Dixie fabric work great together. Love it!
Lovely colors!!! I just bought my first spool of aurifil, can’t wait to try it!
My summer plans did not include my broken wrist. 14 days till the cast comes off!! Missing my quilting
This line is beautiful! This summer we will be spending as much time poolside as possible to escape the AZ heat!
Beautiful colors! Camping, camping and camping are my plans for the summer.
Love the threads, beautiful colors. Just got back from our fun summer plans, now it is back to quilting.

I love your patterns, fabric choices and this thread is gorgeous!!!
HELLO, we live near the Rocky Mts.,so we will be exploring them for some summer fun! Thanks for a really neat giveaway!
We are going to Maui. The fun part is that I am a teacher and one of my former students will be there at the same time. I had her 11 years ago and now she is off to college in the fall. One of us is getting older, one of us is all grown up. Thanks for the give away chance!
This colour combo is so awesome. I think that variegated turquoise is my favourite, though! Congratulations on Dixie!
No plans; maybe people will come here. Those are my kind of colors.

A beautiful fabric collection and a stunning set of threads! I love summer and this year we’re visiting Ottawa and Montreal for the first time. We are trading coasts!

Camping, baseball and sewing are our summer plans!
I love the colors in your fabric and in the thread collection. I also love that your plan is to have no plans…that used to be my favorite thing about summer vacation when my kids were growing up. Now, I just enjoy that I can sew all day if I want to. I also like to go see the grandkids.
Great giveaway! So far my aurifil collection consists mainly of neutrals, so I’d love some colours!!! My plans for the summer is to just enjoy it! Any way I can!
These colors are beautiful and wouldn’t they be fun to sew with! We’re expecting a new grand baby in Aug. – best summer plan ever!

I’m in my favorite vacation spot right now–the mountains of Western North Carolina! Such a change from my home in Florida! I can’t wait for Dixie to come out! I have Hazel & I love that line!

Beautiful colors!
Our plan is also no plan, every summer we make a big deal and wear ourselves out..this year we are staying close to home and enjoying oueselves ❤️

I’ve been reading for blog for awhile and just finished my very first quilt using your strip and flip and binding using the quilt back tutorials. Thank you so much for all the help!! This summer I plan to sew a fun runner for our dining room table and I’ll be going to Sea World for the first time with my fiance. :)
Love those colors. Our summer plans are just swimming at the pool and relaxing at home.
Pretyy, pretty! We’re headed to CA in a week to visit “home”.
We are expecting baby #2 in the fall, so my summer plans are to relax and get as much sleep as possible before the baby is born!
Love the colors of the matching thread!
No plans for me, just work, work, and more work. :P I love the bold colors, such a pretty group of thread!
These colors are beautiful!! I’m hoping my summer plans will include a vacation with the hubby, likely to Hawaii.
Our plan is also to have no plans! My husband and I both have this week off (although it’s supposed to rain) so we are just going to look out the window in the morning and then decide where we are taking our 2 year old that day. So far it’s been lots of time at the park but we are also hoping for a nice day to go to the lake. This week is also my birthday so we get to spend time with friends. If your coming to Vancouver you should try the newer sea to Sky gondola in Squamish. We haven’t done it yet but it’s on our list. Friends that have done it loved it!
Getting ready for girls camp & then relax & enjoy my garden.
My family has a camping reunion planned but other than that my summer plans consist of sewing and caring for the vegetable garden. Beautiful thread colors!
No real plans for the summer….just keeping up with the yard work and sewing when it’s hot. Thanks so much for the lovely thread giveaway!

Wow, I love the color palette. Lots of local plans, some still emerging. And the local pool.
I absolutely love the colors of these threads! I have a lot of fabrics to match them!!
I recently retired a few years early so I can go to Reno to help my aging parents who I love more than I can express! I will be going to help them every few weeks!! Enjoy your summer!!

I love following you on IG :)
Thanks for the chance to win these gorgeous threads :)
I love your colors. We are going to Virginia to visit family and eat crabs!

All of our kids are coming in two weeks for a beach, boat & barbecue day. That includes nine grandkids age six and under! Can not wait!
Planning a summer of sewing…studio space in the basement where it’s nice and cool. I need to get ready for a quilt show this fall.
Beautiful colors! Love them. Our family has plans to travel to Utah in the beginning of August to explore Bryce canyon and Zion national park. Can’t wait!
My family and I just got back from Universal Orlando, so future fun summer plans for me include catching up on all my Craftsy classes!
I’d love to give these a home! My summer is filled up with kid’s sports and studying for my CPA exams. We did get in a fun three day trip to San Antonio, Texas though.
Our plans are to start hiking and prepare for the AT next summer. And to finish up some quilting projects.
This is very nice! I love your website. Big hug from Belgium :-)
I’m going to the beach in a few weeks. I can’t wait!
No summer travelling plans mostly because summer is great right here.
Such pretty thread colours.
Ooh- love the fresh colors and the fabric! Just recently started using Aurufil & is now a favorite sewing notion.
Fun summer plans are just to relax! I would love to use the aurifil thread and see what all the fuss is about!😜
We are currently heading back home to MD from a long weekend at the OBX beaches, spending the 4th with family and celebrating a couple of birthdays.
Love that Aurifil thread and your sunny and cool colors.
So pretty. My summer plans are to have fun with my four daughters
Have never tried aurifil thread – would appreciate the opportunity. I’m a Longarm quilter and take the month of July off for quilting retreats and sew-ins with my guild. It’s my time to get personal projects done. My birthday is in July and each year I make a “birthday quilt”. This year it’s a fussy cut beach umbrella fabric made into kaleidoscope lemoyne stars. I dearly love summer and this thread collection just speaks of summer fun – especially with the matching fabric 😎
Dixie is a beautiful line…
plans for the summer is just to survive:) 5 kids under the age of 7 and a dad that is deployed. Living in the heat of texas, we are hoping to have time pass quickly for him to come home and to not melt in the meantime:)
I love Dixie and can’t wait for it! I also love the color of the thread. We went in Disney cruise to Alaska and it was beautiful! Now we plan on enjoying being home.
Beautiful colors! We’re taking a relaxing summer in our yard and first garden, with some family coming to visit. Sounds perfect to me :)
Love these colours!
Looking forwards to a week at the cabin with my husband and our new baby 😊
Cute fabrics! We are headed to Wisconsin in August for baseball and beer in Milwaukee, Then up north to Door County for cherries and I’m sure I can find a quilt shop or two to stop at.
We just returned from camping! My kids are excited to swim the rest of summer!
We’re taking a big family trip at the end of the month to the big island (Hawaii) before we move back to the mainland (Mississippi) in September.
Wonderful summer colors. Thanks for the chance to win. Our family vacation was spent at the beach. Now we just swim and relax the rest of summer!
Hoping here on Amelia Island you would come visit us (and bring that beautiful thread). You could stay at the Ritz Carlton and if you’d like, we could see in my studio. I would make sangria, shrimp ragout, and bread pudding.
Your Dixie fabric line looks beautiful, and it would fun to have that lovely collection of thread to go with it! Our summer plans include spending lots of time exploring our Colorado mountains.
Sew Sew Sew, not see.😊
big summer plans: two week Baltic cruise, #2 son getting married on the West coast, flying back for an East coast reception a week later for all those who couldn’t make the trip ~ I’ll be ready to quilt after all that!!
Oh, fun! Such happy colors! We’ve already executed our Big Summer Plans: A camping trip in the Sequoias. It was perfect!
I’m really looking forward to the release of Dixie! Loved Hazel (still have my FQB). We are flying to Las Vegas this Thursdayto visit my sons and their families, including my six wonderful grandchildren!! So looking forward to that! Thanks

No plans yet, but hope to take a weekend in the mountains for our anniversary.
Love the colors! We just have a quick trip to visit with family planned this summer.
Wow. What a treasure. Just started using Aurifil and there’s no going back now! Hoping to do more sewing and less running the rest of the summer!
What a gorgeous collection!!! I would LOVE to play with those beauties! 💕💕 I’m with you- our big summer plans are NO PLANS!! The kids have a couple camps, but I’m just finishing up a long neglected quilt and trying to decide which one to start next. Thanks so much for a chance to win those beautiful spools!!! 👍
Summer will center on daughter’s wedding in August.
Plans: of course quilting, tending my huge garden and a trip to WY by the Big Horns!

My family and I are headed to Battle Lake, MN for a week at the end of the month, and then I am taking my oldest son (who will be 15 August 13) to Florida on a plane and everything in August. It will be his first time out of the Midwest and on a plane! We are so excited!!!

Gorgeous thread collection! (& fabric to match!)
A wonderful giveaway. Aurifil colors are so pretty and sew good too. Only summer trip is to attend my granddaughter’s Bible Quizzing National Finals. Her team won first place in the Texas district and now onward to the national finals. Her aunt made the most profound statement I’ve heard in a while. A minute in God’s Word is a minute in the very presence of God! Can’t get better than that!
Ooooh!!! <3<3<3<3<3 Your collection! and the thread with it! what a giveaway … that would make my summer so happy!

I just love these colors! Thanks for such a nice giveaway!
Love the thread colors and love the summer plan being a no-plan. Sounds super simple and spontaneous. Thanks for the chance to win.
Hazel looks so great! I just got back from our epic summer trip (8000+ miles!), so my plan for the rest of the summer is to laze around as much as my seven kids let me!
Just completed our major summer trip, which included a visit to the Mendocino coast area of California (ahhhh), and a quick jaunt up to southern Oregon to visit family. Thanks for the giveaway!
Woo Woo! Those threads are gorgeous!
We had a wonderful weekend filled with roadtrips and parks.
We’ve already had our summer fun–a trip to the SF Bay Area. Great colors and the fabric looks gorgeous!

Our summer plans are to visit our daughter, son-in-law, and granddaughter, as well as some other family. And to keep plugging away at some house projects.
The colors are amazing!! Traveling the Oregon coast in our RV.
No travel plans as yet because we are expecting a new Grandbaby at the end of August but will probably head to Florida or Alabama towards the end of the year. I’m also very excited to be getting my very own ‘New Baby’ – a Bernina 770 – sqeeeeeeeel !
Love this collection of fabric and threads. We are heading to Arizona and California – it will be hot and dry, just how I like it.
Such a gorgeous set of thread.
No big plans, for we’re building our bew house!
What gorgeous colours – love both the fabric and the thread! Than you for thw opportunity. :)
Oh, and our summer plans are a trip to Costa Rica. Can’t wait!
Our “summer” vacation doesn’t actually happen until public school starts back in the fall. We wait to go to the beach after everyone is in school!
Gorgeous! I’m saving my fun for fall, when I get to spend hours and hours in classes with Angela Walters.
Yummy colours! I will be spending the summer at home in my garden. Planning a big honeymoon holiday in the autumn :-)

Gorgeous!!! You can never have too much thread, right?!?!
Such lovely colors! My summer plans mostly involve babysitting grandkids and some nice drives.
We usually travel in the Fall, when all the children are in school. Our daughter is moving this summer, so that will be our travel time!!! Love your colors and threads!
Summer plans include a week at the county fair (my daughter will be showing turkeys, ducks and a feeder calf!). Hopefully, some camping and canoeing to follow that! Love Aurifil thread and those colors are gorgeous.
I love the colors! We have no real plans besides relaxing and playing.
What sweet and cool colors! We already did our big summer plan. Went exploring along the middle Mississippi River on the Great River Road. Wonderful trip–I recommend it!
Those are some of my favorite colors!! I’ve been waiting for Dixie to come out: I’ve got a few quilt patterns that I’ve designed and I’d love to make them with Dixie, and that Varigated blue would be a perfect color to quilt it in! And no big summer plans: my hubby is super busy with his business this time of year, so we don’t go anywhere till October. But sewing will certainly be on my list! :-)
Gorgeous! My summer plans are to finish some quilts!!!
We’re going to PA to see our son later this summer.
Beautiful threads and I love your fabric collection “Dixie”, especially the large floral – swoon! We have a farm so unfortunately we don’t really get to do vacations. I am a homebody anyway :)! Thanks for the chance to win!

A little family reunion at my daughters in Wichita, KS are part of our summer plans.
I love your new fabric line and this thread!
Though it’s winter here in Sydney (and it’s actually not too cold), Summer is the season I love the most…gardening, going to the beach, eating watermelon…your beautiful thread pack really takes me there now…incredible!
Enjoyed reading all the comments. Travel, relaxing and sewing seems to be the theme. We took a trip of a lifetime for us last year to the Grand Canyon ….we live on the east coast. So this year going to enjoy some day trips with our 2 year old grandson and seeing for our fall craft fairs. Those threads would be greatly appreciated and enjoyed.
Lovely colours. Summer walks in the Yorkshire dales is the plan!
Whoa! Beautiful thread! Now that I’m quilting every weekend and most evenings, I sure am using a lot of that stuff! :) Here’s hoping for many more hours of sewing indoors, out of the Georgia heat, this summer. Thanks for the chance!
No big plans…just enjoying small trips when the weather and inclination cooperate. Love this thread collection and looking forward to Dixie! Your household must have had an exciting evening!
No fun summer plans here…just trying to stay cool ;-)
Wow what beautiful colours! Aurifil threat has certainly got us even more excited about sewing. can’t wait to make a start on a new project
Learning to quilt and my first top is almost sewn as I write, now I’ve got to try and quilt it eek!! I’ve booked a sewing course in the summer break – some me time! Then family time in Cornwall, UK, on the coast, it’s beautiful. So enjoy your blog, I’ve been a ‘lurker’ for a while and learned so much, thank you. Love your thread colours, luminous, match your fabrics beautifully. Best wishes.
I love these colors! We are going for a short camping trip next week, but mostly having no plans is our plan as well.
Thanks for the chance to win this awesome set : )
Wow! I love the colours and the fabric. I cant wait until it comes out.
Plans include moving college children around, and some beautiful sunset boat cruises.
Very pretty colors and I only use Aurifil. I’m looking forward to an intensive 4 day long arm class put on by Handi Quilter next week. Can’t wait to learn some new tricks!
Beautiful threads to match a beautiful fabric range! It’s winter here so my plan is to keep warm & do more sewing.
No big plans, but we do go to the lake on weekends.
We aren’t going anywhere. My sister is bringing mom down for a week. We will all have fun crafting.
So pretty! Camping!!
I can only dream of Summer here in Australia. Great colours to cheer up a grey, rainy day!
Friday is my birthday, so I would love to win!! :) We don’t really have any plans for the Summer, but our Fall schedule is filling up fast with travel plans! Horray for family get togethers!
Love your fabric colors with the threads! Summer plans? Live life and enjoy even if I’m at work!
My “fun” summer plans are to build a shelter for my old mare and mini horse from pallets so they can be out of the cold this winter. I am saving up the pallets for it right now. I have 24 pallets and need probably around 50! I know that has nothing to do with sewing or thread at all, but my further plan is to relax after a day of building, with an evening of sewing!
Thanks for the opportunity to win some pretty eye candy!
The fabrics and threads are so nice. Thanks for the giveaway of the threads. I have no summer plans. I am just staying home and relaxing.
I really like your Dixie fabric and am practically drooling over the bundle paired with yummy Aurifil threads!
Later this summer I’m going to WA state to visit my son & his family-YAY! Just before Labor Day, we’ll be going to Lake Tahoe to visit with my step-son & his family. In the interim, I hope & pray I can finish 2 quilt I started l-a-s-t year!
Beautiful colors! We are heading to Florida at the end of the week.
I’d love to try a giveaway win :-) Our next big thing is a visit from my husband’s brother–“Uncle Doug” is coming to see my 2 year old son for the first time since he was 6 weeks old.
Love, love Dixie! Summer already underway taking 3 grandkids camping in state parks. They each carry along a camping quilt where we sew patches from all the places we’ve been. Fun, fun!
My husband is leaving for three days and I’m going to sew while he is gone!
Love the colours. I have no summer plans right now as its winter where I live. But if it was summer my plans would definitely include the local swimming pool.
Love the colors, goes with many if the baby quilts I have been working on
Refreshing and vibrant, they are cuddle up comfortable colors that go well together. Looking forward to your fabric collection!
Those beautiful colors in my favorite thread would put a smile on my face for sure!
I’m pet sitting for a week and then off to visit friends in August.
Gorgeous colors! I’ve been to the beach already, so no plans for the rest of the summer.
No real vacation trip planned but a short trip to NC mountains and Georgia beach. My favorite trip will be to see my brand new grandson. Love the colors in your new fabric collection!!
Gorgeous colors that would work oh so nicely with my row by row. Just got home from a girls trip to Seattle, and are planning a trip to California followed by a beach trip to Florida. Love your blog!
Gorgeous fabrics and beautiful colours! I don’t have summer plans yet, but am going to Ontario in September for a family wedding. I’m not too far from Vancouver, so I could take personal delivery if I win ;o) – ha-ha!
Beautiful fabrics and beautiful thread. I haven’t quilted in over 30 years. Just starting to get back into it. Amazed at all the new products available.

Thanks for the opportunity. Our one exciting summer plan is to spend a week in a small cabin at a large lake in New Hampshire, where we can spend most of our days playing on a quiet sandy beach and listening to loons call.
I have just started using aurifill threads and love them. These colours are gorgeous. Would love to win them :-). It’s winter school holidays here in Australia so we are busy crafting and sewing and rugging up for trips to the beach for fresh air. Thank you for your generous giveaway.
I love my Aurifil – and these colours are gorgeous! Thank you for the giveaway

Barbara P.
So beautiful – the thread AND the fabric! Headed to NY for family reunion soon. Then later this summer seeing friends in Rehoboth, DE, Norfolk, VA, Chapel Hill, NC and Charleston, SC on our way to Hilton Head. Moving end of summer so we are able to travel in transit!!
No more plans – we just used up all our summer vacation fun with a weekend at the beach!
Your picture of threads matched to your fabric is washing a stressful day away. I may have to frame it. :-)
Wait a second, Aurifil has variegated colors? How did I not know this? No immediate summer plans, as I start a new job next week. I am spending a week in Napa in November after running a relay race, and am really looking forward to it.
Beautiful thread! Hopefully our summer will include lots of relaxation. We’re going to Disney World in the fall so no big plans for the summer.
Our big summer plans include going to the beach in August and trying not to melt! Love the colors in Dixie!
Can’t wait until Dixie comes out – love your fabrics and the thread collection too. No big summer plans means more sewing time! Thanks so much for the chance to win some lovely things!
I ❤️ the colours in your collection. So cheerful! Congratulations!
Ps. It’s winter here so plans for lots of cozy time at home ❄️❄️❄️
What fun colors! I’m keeping the summer plans low key and looking forward to Quiltcon East next year!
Such pretty colors! A trip to the beach and lots of pool time is all we have planned this summer.
Beautiful colors! I’m ready to branch out from basic white, beige, and grey!
Just gorgeous! Truly an inspiration sew with those lovely colors.
I am also looking forward to no plans for this summer, except for a short trip to visit friends.
Beautiful threads!! We just moved to a new house so we are having everyone come to see us this summer!!!
Love these colors! Our plan this summer is taking a hot spring trip and trying camping trips for the first time in Japan, where we moved back from sunny California a year and a half ago.
Our plan this summer is like yours. We have no plans just random fun! Love these threads and would love to quilt with them. Thank you!
Yes!!! Organizing my sewing room and making room for a good table!!! Love the thread. 😍
We have no plans for the summer as my husband works all summer, but we relatives from CA coming to us. After they leave, I will lots more time for sewing and the colors in the collection would be great inspiration for some projects.
My husband took a vacation week so we plan on having fun. We have lived in San Antonio 3 years now and haven’t really gotten out so we are staying home and visiting around town!
This thread looks amazing. Love the colors. No big plans for our summer. Maybe a day trip here or their. Seems like we have more fun on little unexpected trips than if we plan a big elaborate trip. Thanks for the great giveaway.
Love these colors. The Dixie line would go well with my Hazel fabric. Only summer plans are to get out in my new kayak.
My summer plans include EPP and embroidery by the campfire
these are gorgeous! I would be counting myself lucky to win such a collection of yum! This summer our children used their 2 years saved newspaper route money to buy themselves an above ground pool! It has been all that and a bag of chips, I tell ya’! They are wet more often than dry–such fun!
Love these colors!!! I’m new to quilting but am quickly building a thread and fabric collection for all the projects I want to do…so these would be a lovely addition!
My plans for the rest of the summer are simple: stay cool and enjoy the summer break with my children. renae1225@gmail.com
No major plans for the summer because things are about to get very busy at work.
Your Dixie fabrics are gorgeous, and the Aurifil threads match perfectly!
No big plans this year; we have two houses, one is for sale — so no extra $ this summer. Planning some fun day trips close to home though — like you.
We are doing a road trip to the SE corner of Washington then Hood River. Trying to hit all parts of Washington and using small highways and backroad

I love these colours, I smile every time I see them. We’ve just bought a house and hubby is starting a new job so no big plans here. We will be at our local beaches and parks a lot I’m sure.
Summer plans include lots of sewing. It soothes my soul!
I’m taking a week off work but so far no plans. Which is my favorite kind of vacation! 😄 Your new line looks amazing! I can’t wait to get my hands on it.

we are going on a family vacation with my siblings, my mom and most of my nieces and nephews– I hope all the kids can come

Beautiful thread colors! No big plans this summer. Hoping to fit in more sewing and more time with grandsons.
Love the gorgeous colors. You will love Vancouver.
Lovely, lovely colors! Our fun summer includes trying to get out and hike as much as possible!
Hi, both thread and fabric are really beautiful. I’m quite new to quilting so I would like to build my stash. Plans for the Summer? I do not really know already if the sun comes to us in Germany maybe I will enjoy a day at the beach anywhere otherwise I will enjoy that I don’t have to do anything. And of course I will sew.

So envious of our northern hemisphere friends although our winters are not really that brutal and ought not be complaining…..upside down dreaming of summer and being warm again (what beautiful colours these are!)
I love the new colors in Dixie! I’m always drawn to bright colors, and Dixie is no exception. I’m not doing much this summer except trying to stay cool (as electricity rates go up here in San Diego), like so many others.
Beautiful match! Can’t wait for your fabric to be available!
Such yummy fabrics and delicious threads. It is winter here in Aus but the sun is shining. No plans to do anything except enjoy being at home.
I love the pretty colors! We are camping this summer at the beach! Our family camps with other families. It’s a great bonding time and it creates great memories for our kids!
We are lucky enough to be spending 2 weeks in Hawaii= can’t wait!
My sister was just saying that she wanted these for her birthday next week!!!
My summer plans include having a baby…yay!!
Who wouldn’t love those beautiful colors! Count me in!
Love the beautiful colors. They just make me want to start sewing. But I need to finish my current projects that are staring at me. I am in the middle of making stockings for the family. Summer plans…staying cool and inside in this crazy Arizona hot summer. Looking forward to camping trips up north where the kids can actually play all day outside and not get heat stroke!!
I have no plans for the summer, except to do as much quilting as I can.
The threads and Dixie are both beautiful! I’m going to the juggling festival in El Paso with my daughter. She will juggle; I will quilt, crochet, and read!
Love these colours! We’re in the middle of winter here in South Africa so my winter plans include a ton of sewing :)
Love your new Dixie collection and love Aurifil. The colors are devine. Our summer plans center around our GrandGirl, Matilda, coming with her mom and dad for a long visit from Berlin, Germany. Other than weekly Skype chats we haven’t seen our daughter and her family since last Christmas. I’m learning to make toddler clothes and would love to make some from your fabric collection. Thanx fir the chance to win such a gorgeous prize. 😀
Your thread colors are gorgeous! I’m a few weeks behind you, Allison – we just had our baby #4 – our first boy, though! Our summer plan is just staying home with him until we venture back home to Olympia to visit family & friends in August. Cheers to a baby-filled summer!
I’m going to visit my family in Denmark for almost four weeks in August. I immigrated from there when I was nineteen, 39 years ago, leaving my birth-family behind. I’m very fortunate that I get to visit them almost every summer. As I always do, I’ll be bringing a major hand-piecing project, and I usually get a lot done.
No plans to go away but planning to have one of my grands come spend a wk with of us doing lots of cooking & baking together & enjoying our horses,cows & dogs. The thread collection is as pretty as your fabric collections! Thank you for the opportunity to win the thread collection!
First I have to say the threads colors are scrumptious!! Just love them all. As for summer plans, we hope to head tonorthern New Mexico to escape some of the heat and see parts we have been too…hopefully Taos for a few days. Enjoy the summer fun!
I just love the things you create. My hopeful fun plans are to find some time to do some quilting!
I love the colors in your fabric line, Dixie. I will be sure to watch for it in our local quilt shops. The Aurifil thread colors match perfectly and are so pretty. Love using Aurifil for my piecing and quilting. No “fun” plans for this summer. We are getting our house in Cleveland ready to sell. After my husband retired and we moved to a new house, our oIdest daughter, Kim, lived there until she passed away. It’s a lot of work – painting, pulling up carpet, replacing the old carpet in the family room with a floating wood floor, updating light fixtures, etc., etc…… We are getting help from family members, for which we are very thankful. Enjoy your summer.
Portland, OR is our destination, love that part of the country. And some quilting will get done, also.
Those colors are delectable! I will look for Dixie as those fabrics make me want to make little quilts for friends to share their vibrant colors. They remind me of summers spent lying on the grass staring up at the clouds, swimming in the creek, and eating outside at the picnic table. This summer I want to find a new job! I will find some time to sew, too. Thanks!
Hi love your stuff and would love the thread. Such pretty colors. My plans is going to lake Havasu to play on the seadoo and paddle board.
Thanks for sharing all your beautiful ideas with us. I’m a beginning quilter and about to start with one of your pattern. All the best for you and your family! Oya from Germany
Love the colors in this collection !!! Our youngest son is getting married this summer , and hopefully a little traveling !! That should take care of our summer !!
Wonderful collection & colours, I would be happy to win.
Beautiful colors. I want to become more adventurous in thread colors while machine quilting This kit would be alot of help to start achieving this goal. New England States so beaitiful.
Great collection of bright color! – and I use Aurofil for all my piecing;-)
As always, your new collection is stunning, and Pow Wow was the first pattern bought at the start of my quilting journey a few years ago! It’s next on the list for my 4 year old grandson – fabrics pulled! We live here in UK – big family reunion holiday planned visiting son and family in Brisbane with our 2 daughters and families. Cousin mayhem with 6 kids and 2 cats expected:)))
This summer I am finishing the alterations on bridesmaids gowns for our son’s wedding. He and his fiancé will be married in August. This will make five of our children married, one more to go! Then I will begin making baby quilts, as we have three grand babies due to arrive in the next seven months! Life is good! Your fabrics are beautiful.
I would love to try some of these tread
Beautiful. Our summer plans include having our 13 year old granddaughter fly out to visit for 3 weeks. Haven’t seen her in a year.
Summer is a long way away here in oz, cold dreary days here in Melbourne Victoria Australia.Great however for sewing and snuggling up under quilts while you sew binding on. We do plan to take a week in August in North Queensland where you can still swim in winter and have a weekend exploring the city I currently call home.
We left California on June 24th pulling our boat across Nevada, Arizona, and New Mexico, to Texas. I wrote all about our trip on Facebook, but did not begin till 2 days after leaving. We sure surprised our daughter and grandchildren! I even recorded a video of the door opening and my daughter crying!! We are staying for two birthdays and will then drive back to CA, but without the boat. We are having fun but we don’t like the humidity here is n Texas. Love your threads!
Beautiful colours so vibrant. My only plan is to sew more.

Lovely colours and a perfect match for your beautiful fabric. Apart from going to Sweden this summer to see two of our beautiful grandchildren, I shall be making 2 baby quilts for my niece and her husband and nephew and his partner, both of whom are having babies in the Autumn. One is a much waited for IVF baby. My sister is over the moon and as she can’t sew anymore because of severe arthritis, I am only too pleased to have the opportunity to make more quilts! Have a good summer everybody. Jane, Edinburgh, UK.
Beautiful fabric and threads. It’s winter here in Australia, but our days can still be warm and sunny. Looking forward to our summer at the end of the year. Thanks
I love the bright, cheerful colors of your line!
We’re heading to Cali to the beach. Then I have a Row by Row Experience quilt to begin/finish. I am having a hard time trying to figure out a color scheme in making the rows have a cohesive look. Have you ever made one of these quilts before? If so, I would gladly welcome any tips. Happy Wed!
Such beautiful fabric and thread, Alison. Thanks for the give away!
Love the colours in your Dixie line & the matching Aurifil threads are just darling! I live in Australia & am in the middle of a (relatively) cold winter, so I’m currently dreaming of warmer weather & summer adventures later in the year. Thanks for the lovely giveaway!
I love your colors! We are leaving in the morning for a 3 week RV trip through northern California, Oregon & Washington.
Yummy colors! I love the name of your new fabric line since I am from the Heart of Dixie…Alabama! Our grandchildren visited us last month. We had fun at the beach, neighborhood fishing and our annual bowling tournament. Working on home renovations during July. Not sure about August!
Everyone is coming to our house this summer–and we have a new puppy! So, how’s that for fun?
Beautiful threads. Colors are gorgeous and match the fabrics so well.

What lovely colours.
I would love to say my summer plans were not to do anything but I have 5 weeks of summer before I got back on ship and 3 of those I am away sailing. I need to try and finish the cardigan im knitting during that time.
Love the fabric! – I’d love to make a bunch of fabric trays with Dixie for my sewing room. This summer I plan to finish a quilt – including the dreaded machine quilting!

My vacation plans is to win this giveaway. ahahaha just kidding!
We have a couple of beach trips coming up—one is my husband’s work conference, the other is just fun. Really looking forward to these as we’ve had a really busy spring/early summer prepping for a wedding in our sunflower field. I love Dixie—reminds me a bit of Hazel and looks like they will go nicely together. I have a good bit of Hazel….need to get some Dixie to mix in!!
Summer plans include moving the family to Guam to follow my military hubby. Praying my sewing machine and quilting gear survive the two month journey via boat!

We are spending a few days on a lake in Vermont with friends.
Love the colors and Dixie fabrics! Summer started early for me. We have vacationed for a week in June with my Albuquerque DD, SIL and DGC in the Colorado mountains. We returned home to Massachusetts only to pack up and then do a road trip to Alabama to visit DSand DIL. At the end on the week we meander toward home stopping to visit DD and SIL in New Jersey. I can’t wait to get back to my sewing room!
Those colors are absolutely beautiful.

Beautiful colors. Can’t wait for Dixie. We’re going to San Diego next month for a family get together.
Yummy colors! House projects going on so just a few day trips with grandchildren this summer! I hope to visit a few quilt shops!

We too have NO Plan for this summer – so that means I can sew more :)! Enjoy your weekend holidays – they are often the best!
Summer mornings in SW FL are so tropically delicious! I love getting out to hear all the birds singing, smelling the sweet morning scents and going for a quick walk. I get a lot of inspiration then.

Those colors are the best and, somehow, I don’t have one of them so would love to win this!!!
We have just returned from a week at the beach (or soundside in our case) and look forward to going again at the end of season. In the meantime, I plan to sew (QAL’s, samplers, a bit of collage, pouches) and sew and sew- well, you get it! Thanks for the chance.
I love the colors. I collect Aurifil and use it almost exclusively in my projects.
My next vacation will be beachside in October. Can. Not. Wait.

No major summer plans as we are saving for our BIG Thanksgiving week trip to New York to watch my son and his Greendale High School Marching Band (WI) march in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade!!

The thread collection is divine. We’re staying close to home this summer. Lots of quilting going on here. Thanks.

Such beautiful fabric! No plans to go anywhere as will have family coming here! Enjoy your summer!
It’s winter… hoping for snow! I’m interested to know what others do, I’ve always matched thread colours to fabric but my neighbour a quilting teacher says always use light grey for everything.
My summer plans are to sew three skirts. Not usually a garment sewer, so this should be interesting!
Your thread and fabric are happy and beautiful colors of summer. I plan to enjoy my twin granddaughters, just home from the hospital.
The thread colors are lovely.
Pretty thread and pretty fabric! I’m spending a few long weekends camping with daughter and grandkids.

I think everyone’s plans are better than mine–foot reconstructive surgery on the 21st(big ouch) However, getting stuff together and working on quilts for Hospice so these threads would be great(your fabric line is greater and what a match!)
Beautiful colors, and I love the fabric! My summer plans include day trips with my 8 year old nephew, improving my baking skills, and maybe finding a job.
I plan to spend lazy afternoons playing in my craft room. I love your fabric collections and I love the coordinating threads.
Beautiful fabric and thread! My big, fun summer plans have already come and gone. The rest of my summer will be spent on some serious quilt making – which will be a lot of fun too!. Other than that, Hubs and I may try to sneak off for a beach weekend later in the summer.
Beautiful colors of thread, yummy. Thanks
Love the gorgeous happy colors. Summer is for relaxing, and we do have a lot of family visiting. We wait until fall to travel.

We’ve been following grandsons’ baseball and summer basketball games. Maybe a trip later in the summer or early fall. Thanks for the opportunity to win some gorgeous threads.

Beautiful colours! Hoping to get to Vancouver myself this summer!
Lovely fabric! I’m going to make a sprocket pincushion today. I could use some of that gorgeous thread too :o)
I have never sewn with Aurifil but have always wanted to indulge. They really are beautiful threads.
Those thread colors? Perfect! Shiny and bright, just like your fabrics. And I love using Aurifil.
Beautiful colors!!! Summer plans: Road trip!!!
Amazingly lovely colors! A short trio east to NY to visit family, early morning walks on the trail and weekends with the grands will fill up my summer.

What a luscious set of threads and fabrics – I can’t wait to see them in person!
Our summer fun has already happened. Both families came up for their last visit “north”. We have the house up for sale and are packing and sorting for a move in early fall. Sad time for us but beautiful memories.

Such pretty colors! Plans for the summer include getting away from Texas heat and going to the northern California coast. Awww…..I can smell that fresh ocean breeze.

No special plans here-just hanging with family and sewing when I get the chance. Gorgeous colors!
LOVE these fabrics and of course, Aurifil threads are the best and the only thread to use and these colours are fabulous. I am back and forth to Vancouver Island because of family and aging parents but love ‘going home’ to Victoria. We winter in Arizona so am quite content to be here at home in the Pacific Northwest.
Hello we will be renting a beach house for a couple of days! And just hanging out at the house swimming and eating! Love those thread colors!

Love your fabrics. The threads are perfectly matched to your fabric! Beautiful.!! My summer plans are spending time with our grandchildren, quilting, and sewing, putting up pickles from the garden.
(Sorry if it posted twice, I had problems with the post disappearing from my screen before I could post reply..)
I am swooning over those colors! They are so pretty that they can’t be hidden in a drawer, they need to be displayed on my shelf so that the sweet colors can be my eye candy.
Our plans include camping and local kid friendly destinations.
It’s summer in Texas so the plans include only going outside to play in the pool and staying inside working on a kitchen remodel!
I am loving your fabric and thread choices, thinking I need
to start adding more than a few to my collection!!
We are planning a trip to Hood Canal in August. Looking forward to fresh oysters and lots of water time!
Sure love the fabric collection & the beautiful threads to match.
Planning on being able to see all 6 of my children & their families (12 adults & 15 grand kids + me & my husband) this weekend for a reunion in San Diego! 14 kids 9 & under make for lots of fun memories. It’s so fun seeing the grand kids reunite.
Also looking forward to a quilt retreat in orlando, fl next month with friends who are spread out all over the states. Trying to decide on projects to bring!
Heading to the San Juan islands in Washington for our annual boating trip. I hope I win the thread as I am new to quilting and have very little!,

Our summer plans include lots of swimming and a trial of camping :)
The thread colors are so beautiful–just like Dixie. I am busy healing and recovering this summer. I appreciate any prayers support.
Allison, I love your fabric designs because the colors make me so happy!
Our summer is filled with around-the-house “chores”: quilting, feeding the deer, quilting, gardening, quilting, playing with the cats. Did I mention quilting???
My summer plans is to attend as many baseball games of grandson and softball for granddaughter as possible. Our baseball team is hoping to go to State again this year- last year was the first time! I am also quilting up UFO when I get a few free minutes.
I love, love, love, this line. Of to find a fat quarter bundle
These are beautiful!
Beautiful thread colors! No big vacation plans although a few day trips planned with my quilting sisters. Quilt shows and quilt retreat.
What a beautiful collection of colors! We have a weekend or two getaway planned, but nothing very exciting. (Life revolves around the marching band schedule.)
Since I am fat and pregnant, my plan is to stay in the A/C! All the while sewing up little girl stuff, because let’s face it, girls are way more fun than boys to sew for!
My plans are getting prepared for my daughters wedding in early September. I am making burlap table runners with lace accents and many other items to save money and just because I love to do it. It’s a country wedding by a pond and the reception in a barn. I am so excited and a bit nervous that we aren’t forgetting anything. Love the new fabrics and thread!!!! Your baby is beautiful! Congrats!
Love the new fabric and threads! My plans this summer is spending time with family!
I’m such a fan! Keep on enjoying that baby!
Beautiful! Eye candy! Love the colors! Keep on doing what makes you happy, it shows in your work!
Love your Aurifil thread collection! We are planning to go to a Bible Conference next week. Then we do not have any real set plans, except to take out our 1960 MGA that my husband restored and check out the countryside. Always new places and roads to find.
I love the color palette you chose, and that cute dot pattern might just be my favorite ever! We crammed all of our summer plans in the first 6 weeks because I started a new job this week so if I were the lucky winner, I might not feel so bad that I’m missing out on all the fun! ;)
Love your new fabrics and the thread to match. Going to be making a baby quilt soon and thinking these would be perfect!
Last weekend my hubby and I spent our first kid free weekend in 8 years. It was divine! We slept in, stayed up late, shopped without anyone asking to buy a treat at the checkout. It was divine!
This new line looks tempting!
Summer plans? Low key, but maybe a weekend in Elkhart Lake, WI for the Historic Races.
Your fabrics and threads are fabulous!! I’m planning some garden shed and deck projects for this summer so will be busy around home.
Congratulations on your collection! The thread is beautiful. I am an international commenter but will be in the US this summer ;)
Lovely colors, perfect for summer sewing! I’ll spend most of the summer working as a host on a tourist train but the days I have off I’ll spend making big and small adventures in the nearby area :)
Beautiful colors! My summer plans are packing and moving…..not sure if that is fun or not, but will try to make it fun.
Lovely! Tomorrow my son, mother, and I are going to join my aunt at her beach house in Chincoteague where we will hopefully have some beach fun and see some wild ponies!
Oh, those colors!!!! When I look at my stash I would say they fit right in :) Love the Dixie fabric line.
Just came back from 3 weeks wonderful vacation with my son, so no actual plans for the rest of the summer
We have a staycation planned this summer. This week we have grandchildren staying with us from different families. The cousins are having a great time together. I go back to work next week but on Saturday I will be headed to The Sisters outdoor quilt show. Our daughter has a quilt hanging there this year. What I am suppose to be doing this week is going thru stuff and downsizing. We have not moved in over 40 years and would like to clear stuff out so when the time comes it will be easier – however playing with the grandkids is more fun.
Aurifil thread is like candy for the quilter! Such pretty colors. My fun family trip is going to the Maine coast in September! Can’t wait.
What beautiful Colors! Our plans for this summer are to stay home and have everyone visit us!
We are done with vacation, and staying home until school starts, thank goodness :) Such pretty thread!
My daughter and grandsons are coming to visit. That’s good enough for me.
we always do “stay-at-home-vacations” where we do day trip here and there….too many pets and responsibilities to take care of :) I am also always hoping to finish a quilt project or two :)
I would say this beautiful thread and fabric is hugely popular judging by how many responses there are here – wow!! I am also just staying home this summer with a few weekends at Six Flags to play. Stitching and learning about stitching – pure heaven!! Have a terrific summer everyone!!
