  1. Oh I would think I had died and gone to sewing heaven. I would make some pillows for my new sewing room so fast your head would spin!!

  2. I have NO idea what I would make but I'm quite sure it would be something 'purty'..how could it NOT be with that beautiful fabric?!! LOL I LOVE aurifil so when it includes aurifil, it's ALL good!! Thanks!

  3. So far I used Botanics fabrics separately, but if I win matching thread, I would love to make a quilt and finally try free motion quilting.

  9. I'm gonna be honest here… No way that stack and that thread are getting used up together and right away… Both will need some time to be enjoyed in their present form. Then I'd spread them throughout projects from garments for me to baby quilts, and everything in between, wherever there special-ness could best be appreciated!

  10. This collection is very nice; good colors and patterns easy on the eye, but with a mod look. My daughter just moved into her new house, I think I'd make a wall quilt for her, she'd love the hip look.

    Thanks for the chance.

  12. I would make Denise Schmidt's Point Me quilt pattern in a generous twin, and then quilt with the aurifil thread–I think these colors would look amazing running across a Kona Snow background!!

  13. I'm starting on the Great Granny Sew Along, and the Aurifil threads would be oh sew nice to go "along" with it!

  17. Thank you for such a great giveaway! Aurifil is my favorite thread, I would make a bed size quilt using Botanics! 🙂

  18. I love Aurifil thread! I would sew a quilt from the book and maybe use a lot of white so the thread in the machine quilting will show up.

  21. Oh my gosh! Are those not the most lovely fabrics?!! And I love that there are wide backing prints as well. 🙂
    Aurifil threads are great. I'm about to start quilting my latest with a lovely shade of grey.
    What would I make? Oh my! I might just sit and stare at them for a while and let them inspire me!

  22. Could see myself making a summer quilt, and a tablerunner to match. Love the thread colors too-Aurifil is the best! Thanks for doing this giveaway!

  25. These colors are just delicious! I would make a quilt for the futon in my expanded sewing room! Thanks for the chance to win!

  26. Oh I don't know! This is a fabulous giveaway! I'm thinking a quilt with lots of lovely fmq on it–gotta show off those threads too, right?! Or maybe a whole cloth quilt with just the threads!

  27. If I were the lucky winner I'd make a quilt for me. Every quilt I've ever made, I've given away. I'd love a tradinational quilt made with a modern flair. It would be great to try Aurifil thread. Thanks so much for the chance to win!

  28. Wow… that's easy. I would make lots and lots of bags, pouches, and totes. I love, love, love both the Aurifil thread and the Botanics fabrics!

  29. After looking closely at the Fabric – I think I would make the 'Button Pattern' from 'Cluck,cluck Sew' I recently bought. It has just the right mix of print and solid Fabric for this Pattern and matching thread…..well, sewing room – here I come!!

  31. Love Aurifil thread and would love to make a churn dash quilt with Botanics. I have seen a pattern with various size churn dashes. This combination would be perfect.

  38. The first thing that popped into my head was a fall leaf quilt, with appliqued leaves…these fabrics and threads would be lovely!

  41. I would make a huge quilt to hang in my hallway! So pretty, thanks for the giveaway.

  44. Such great textures in this fabric line! I'm sure I would use it in the next great sew along! These threads are awesome too… many colours that I haven't seen before!

  46. The whole botanics line is so lovely and these threads are no exception! I think what wouldn't I want to make might be more the question, the fabrics lend themselves so nicely to quilts but also bags and garments.

  48. Love Aurifil and Botanics….I would make a modern appliqué quilt to show off fabric and thread. Pinehavencreations at rogers.com

  51. I love the look and feel of this line!! I would use it to make something for my brother. It's just manly enough without being too far out of my comfort zone. Thanks for the chance!!

  52. this is an easy question for me, I have a big stack of Botanics line, (just not the thread) I am in the process of designing the quilt, haven't narrowed it down yet though, thanks for the chance

  53. Oh, so many possibilities, but I think I'd try doing the 'block of the month's I saw in Love Patchwork & Quilting magazine.

  54. Well, I already have some Botanics fabric – I haven't quite decided what to make – but it will be lovely when I finish. The coordinated threads would just make it even better.

  56. Ohhhhh… beautiful threads! I'd make some sort of spring quilt and match the quilting with the fabrics. Thanks so very much!

  58. This line is so beautiful. I would make a quilt for my 2 1/2 year old grand daughter. She LOVES fabric! I love how I can share my love for quilting with her. My daughter and daughter-in-laws don't really like quilts so sharing my love with her is awesome. So I would make her another quilt.

  59. not sure what I would use this fine gift for – I like to have the fabrics in hand and ponder about its use. I am sure that bags and blankets would be in their future though.

  63. I would make a quilt with large blocks, to show off the fabulous designs on the fabric. (One of my favorite fabric collections, by the way! And thread to match? That's over the top!)

  67. I love the crossweave print in the line and already used it as background. And the collection is also a great stash builder. I love Autrifil thread it's so wonderful and I think with the colors you could create some great quilt patterns (if only my FMQ skills were this good;-)

  71. I love the colors in this box of Aurifil thread. I could see a summer quilt made with these colors and Botanics just might be a good fabric choice. Thanks for the chance to win.

  73. I have been watching Aurfil videos and dreaming of beautiful thread. I have 10 finished quilt tops to quilt. This giveaway would be the perfect kick start for me. Also, I have 4 new quilt tops that are almost finished. Do you see a pattern here!

  74. Hmmm. The disco quilt is really nice. I have lots of patterns that will work quite nicely with
    Botanics. Thank you for the opportunity to win.

  131. I already have the fabric and I am going to make a bordella quilt with them, I think that is the correct spelling, I saw the pattern and I have it "pinned", but so far that looks good, now I need the thread 😉

I have the fabric and am planning to begin working – soon I hope – on a quilt in a new Craftsy class I'm taking (Kimberly Einmo's Magical Blocks class).

  465. The colors in this Botanics fabric and thread collection are rich yet subtle.

It is her first apartment and she would LOVE coordinating her room decor around this collection. Thank you for the opportunity to win this beautiful gift.

  475. The Botanics fabric line is wonderful! I would be in 7th Heaven to have a big stack of Botanics fabric and matching Aurifil threads!!! I think I would make a modern Spring quilt and possibly a new table runner as well.

  479. Thanks for this wonderful giveaway! I can see in my minds eye a fabulous quilt made of blocks of simple, leafless trees. It's going to be my next project.

Just start sewing and sewing and sewing with all the beautiful colors and end up with my first time ever MASTERPIECE!!!! Oh this would make a wonderful win!! Thank you Aurifil for this amazing giveaway.

  510. I love this fabric & thread line! I would definitely make a modern quilt, and use the colors to do some free motion quilting.

  529. As I looked at those fabrics visions of summers at the little lake I grew up on danced in my head. Maybe I could create my first real modern quilt and capture the essence of the lake and all the joy I experienced growing up there. Doing that with those amazing Aurifil threads would be perfect. Thanks for such a great giveaway!

  531. I will be starting a new quilt next month which uses 'bright' fabrics – solids and prints on a cream background. These threads would work well with my project.

  532. applique, Applique, APPLIQUE… that's all I an envision… especially with one of my favorite hand and machine quilting threads such as Aurifil! Bring it on!!!!

  535. Aurifil thread is simply the best, and the luscious colors in the Botanics collection would be a great addition to my thread collection. I have Aurifil thread in most of the basic colors, but these new colors are wonderful. Think I would really get into machine quilting a project, which is usually not my favorite thing to try. It would be fun to see my quilting show up in these fun colors. Thx. hurstjsj@gmail.com

  536. I have so much fabric in my stash I could use those threads for 3 or 4 quilts…..I'd finally be able to settle on just which quilt I'd love to have for myself.

  542. I think I would like to make a quilt using the tree of life block. I'm not sure how exactly, but that's the fun. Getting the fabric and thread and block pattern (and then a glass of wine) and just figuring it out!!!

  547. Holy drooling batman! My friend just gave me the Labyrinth pattern, I think I'd attempt it-the colors in the thread and the fabric line would really pop in that quilt.

  548. How lovely! I think I would try something new, probably one of Carolyn's patterns for either a pillow or small quilt 🙂

It would offer her comfort since I'm not able to be there in person.

    Thank You for the chance to win.

    In Kind Regards,
    Tricia of Mid-Mi.

  567. Some of my quilting friends would not use any other thread to piece because of it's strength and it is thinner so you get more thread on a wound bobbin then other threads! It sounds like a winner to me.

  568. Some of my friends will use nothing else. It would be great to sew with this product in such great colors!

  569. If I had a giant stack of that gorgeous fabric and thread I would make so a quilt… specifically the new wavelength pattern by freshly pieced. AND a washi dress cause I would have to. 😉

  575. would love to have some of that thread to try – have never used it before! Thanks for the opportunity!

  576. These colors look so luscious I want to eat them! Oddly enough, I would start by collecting fabrics in each hue, prints, solids and batiks, to creat a new (to me) palette of fabrics. Then I'd play. Pieced hexagons? A drift of twister blocks? Many trips around the world? A grandmothers flower garden in tiny, 1/2 inch hexies? Fun fun, fun.

  578. What would I make? I'd start a quilt, I'd make mug rugs, I'd make little hexie flowers, gosh, there's not end to what I'd end up making with the beautiful Botanics fabric and thread. Thanks for the opportunity to win your giveaway.

  579. I'm new at quilting, but I'm ready to try something more challenging. These threads are so inspiring, I would use them on a bright and cheerful quilt for my daughter-in-law to curl up in while my son is deployed this summer.

  580. I would either make a Jelly roll race quilt or use the Disco quilt pattern to make a quilt for my son who just bought a brand new house in Houston. If I decide on the jelly roll race quilt, I would embellish the quilt using the Aurifil threads and some of the fancy stitches that I never use that came with my Bernina.

  616. We went to the beach today, for the first time this year, and realized that we no longer have a beach blanket. I would love to make a new beach quilt with Botanics fabrics and thread!

  621. Those are gorgeous colors! A wall hanging, at the very least, would certainly be at the top of my list. It would brighten up any room!

  624. I would have NO trouble using the Aurafil Thread! It is the only thread I use and quilt almost every day! I currently have about 5 projects going and about 40 UFOs so you can tell it would not be a problem! Thanks for the giveaway

The Whale has endless possibilities! Scrappy background with a solid whale or as the background is with different color whales! How about batiks!!

  654. I'm planning to use my Botanics prints in an art quilt. I'm glad Aurifil put out a Botanics set – I'd love to use those threads to FMQ/embellish the quilt.

  657. I recently purchased a dress that looks like a most modern of quilts. I really would love to replicate it in a quilt to match.

    The thread, oh my oh my. Would I love to have so many luscious colors in my possession. I would have a thread sewing day.

  658. The Botanics would be awesome in the popular Chevron style quilt and quilted in the multi color threads.

  659. I would love to get a couple of things sewn for ME! I need a new clothespin bag and a plastic bag holder! I have several small projects in mind and need to make a couple of gifts for some friends!!

  661. I am a hexi addict, so all of this thread would likely go into that. I haven't ever used the big spools but would love to see if they play nicely with my machine.
