I've had all these pretty pictures of thread on my camera just waiting for me to get a free second to write a post and share them! This thread collection was a collaboration with Aurifil to match my Dixie fabric.
Heart eyes for all these pretty colors together:
These thread kids are available at Fat Quarter Shop in big or smaller thread sets. They are also available for wholesale buyers through your Aurifil rep.
Giveaway Closed...thanks!

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.
Natalie
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!

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.
Megan Huston
Love these combos! And a huge thank you for your beautiful heart quilt pattern we have all used for the quilts for pulse!!!!

Our plan is also to have no plans!

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!

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 😎
Kelli Marshall

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!
Donna
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.

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. 😀
Erin
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!
Charlotta Bright Norby
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!
Patti Levine
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!
Lisa
I just love the things you create. My hopeful fun plans are to find some time to do some quilting!
Dianne H.
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.
Jeanne Atkinson
Portland, OR is our destination, love that part of the country. And some quilting will get done, also.
Mary
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!
Sharon D
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.

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.
Judith Blinkenberg
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!

Jane Sprague
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.

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!
Debbie Whiteside
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.

Shannon Lowe
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! ;)
Barbara Lehman
Love your new fabrics and the thread to match. Going to be making a baby quilt soon and thinking these would be perfect!
Barbie
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!

Nancy
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.
Susan Stanton
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.

We have been busy with camps this summer, theatre, 2 art, volleyball and now we have, Created For A Purpose (CFAP), Winshape, my nephew is coming to stay for a week and both my daughters have birthdays so we have to have 2 parties.

Plus I'm trying to finish a Jen Kingwell quilt Midnight at the Oasis) , Cupid's arrow quilt by Polkadotchair and a AMH tapestry pillow. Summer will be over before I can turn around. But we are having a blast!
