I've already spoken of the joy that is Accent thread from WonderFil. I have a doily to prove my everlasting devotion. But as a mother can love more than one child, I can love more than one thread.
I recently finished an applique project, so it was time to pull out a new (old) project. I chose this block of the month from Pinwheels :
Maria, the designer, did a fabulous job with this quilt. The fan/plate is hand-stitched together using English paper-piecing techniques and then hand-applique it to the background.
For the applique, I pulled out my new collection of InvisiFil thread:
Isn't that just the most lovely sight ever?
It is 100 weight polyester and is absolutely fantastic for hand-applique (and many other types of sewing, too!). The thread disappears between the applique and the background making the applique look flawless. I almost want to un-stitch the first 15 blocks and re-do them with InvisiFil, but I'm holding myself back.
Watch the progress of this quilt on my design wall on Mondays.

Thread Envy!!!
That should keep you busy for a while....
Love the hand applique with the English paper piecing.....lovely
Happy sewing
OK I will confess - I too am addicted to thread and fabric and beads and.... the list goes on. I think I need so of this stuff!
eegads-I'm in love those colors are crazy fabulous.
I'm just becoming thread nuts--at first I was scared of threads...but now I'm starting to want to experiment-if only more hours in the day.
Love the English pieced work- I have a dresden plate from Pinwheels I'm working on, but I lack your beautiful thread stash- I'm envious!
what an interesting idea, I had no idea these were available.
