I love using variegated threads when I'm quilting as they add interest to the work and can hide some of the little mistakes that are made and I do make a few as my quilting isn't as precise as I'd like it to be. Still, I keep practising.

Please order the following for me:

Cotton Mako 40/2 4653 Eucalypt Greens & 4656 Sugar n Spice
Aurilux 5802
1 reel of each please.

I've been using one of the last lot I bought on a scrap quilt and it looks great (one of the new colours that had been released then)."

My latest quilt (right) was completed March 2005. Pattern "Dragon" is by Three Swans in Canada. My son loves Harry Potter and I saw this pattern in a advertisement. I annoyed you quite a bit, choosing the threads for this. In the end, I went for the Aurifil Mako Ne 12, 4657 Red/Yellow/Orange Variegated for the Dragon and Aurifil Mako 2735 Blue for background. I have emailed photos to Three Swans and they too mentioned how the Dragon stood out due to thread. Quilted then in Black (Grey Spool). I love quilting, and are already up to quilting my next quilt (also using Variegated Mako4657.)

Thanks for your past advice and experience. I like to think I've come along way."
