Before I moved here to Argentina, I received a lovely box of Italian threads from Aurifil. Some to try and some to share with my readers. So far, I've been in love with the number 50 thread. As I said in my last post, it's the perfect thread weight for appliqué. I'm using it to hand stitch my circles, and I also tried it with my clamshells project which is slowly but surely coming along as well.
I also have my eyes on the wool thread thinking of an embroidery project involving more birds.
If you want to give these threads a try, leave me a comment as I'm giving away five of these lovely packages. Each set has a delicious sampler of Aurifil threads. I'll leave this giveaway open for a whole week.
Antes de mudarnos a Argentina, recibí una linda encomienda de hilos italianos de Aurifil, unos para probar y otros para compartir con mis lectores. Hasta ahora les puedo decir que estoy enamorada del hilo del número 50 que como dije en mi post anterior, es del grosor perfecto para appliqué. Lo he usado para coser mis círculos y también lo probé con mis "clamshells" que es un otro proyecto que va creciendo de a poquitos. Tengo los ojos puestos en el hilo de lana y estoy planeando usarlo en algún bordado de pajaritos.
Así que si tienen ganas de probar estos hilos déjenme un comentario ya que estoy sorteando cinco de estos paquetitos encantadores de hilos Aurifil. Cada set contiene cinco hilos de diferentes medidas. Este sorteo estará abierto por una semana.

I have never had the chance to try Aurifil thread because they do not sell it around where I live, but I have heard so much about it that I would love to have the opportunity to give it a try. Thank you soooo much!

Oh please oh please let me win this one!
I have a new found love for these threads. I would love to be able to figure out which ones I really like the most. The local shops around my area have a limited supply. I've heard that the 40 is a good weight for just about everything.
