Painters Thread, that is. This is 100% cotton, hand-dyed thread. We carry both the Pearl (with a sheen) and the Flower (matte finish) varieties. This week’s winner, Susan Koscielak, will have her choice of one color and type for her giveaway prize!

I’ll be back with another Giveaway next Wednesday. Until then you can shop for all sorts of sewing notions, books, and other fun stuff at pieceocake.com!

This week’s giveaway is a delightful sampler from Tilda’s Sunday Brunch fabric collection—blenders included! This charming stack of 5″ squares is perfect for a small project on its own or can be mixed with other fabrics for something even bigger. Tracy Lee is our lucky winner!

If you look carefully at the photo of these Apliquick serrated snips, you will notice that the blades are straight. We stock the snips with curved tips but I do have this one straight tip serrated snip that is going to this week’s winner – Pat! Just be careful with them, Pat :-).

General’s White Chalk Pencil is one of our favorite marking tools (click here to see all the ones we carry) and the set of two pencils and a sharpener is a real bargain! Especially since one of these sets will be free to this week’s winner, Kittynielson!

The pencil makes a line that you can see and it brushes off well. The chalk line that you draw around your templates is part of the seam allowance. The line should turn under completely so that you don’t see it.

Part of my cleaning out process resulted in a collection of cloth and plastic zipper bags. I don’t need them for my reorganizing, but hopefully, Trish will be able to put them to good use!

And as a special additional bonus, a fun cloth bag from Moda, added to the collection since this photo was taken.

It is exceedingly rare to find a whole new needle but Colonial’s Tapestry Petites fit the bill! We carry both the #24 and the #26 sizes. The winner of the shorter #26 size has an unusual username: Simply stitching.

These needles are short, with big eyes, and a sharp-enough point. I will use both the #24 and the #26 when hand sewing with #12 and #8 pearl cotton. I think they will be good for embroidery, big-stitch hand quilting, and big-stitch applique.
