Make up your mind to have no regrets
Recline yourself, resign yourself, you're through
I always get what I aim for
And your heart'n soul is what I came for
Whatever Lola wants
Lola gets,
Lola Pink Fabrics wanted a thread that was strong like their passion, but soft like their emotions and it seems they have gotten it with Aurifil.
Lola Pink Fabrics will be carrying the 50 wt cotton thread in a variety of colors.
50 wt Aurifil thread is great for:
- Hand applique' : Ideal for all types of hand applique' . From needle turning to using prepared shapes, the 50wt is thin and with all the colors available you can match your shape perfectly.
- Hand piecing : A great weight for hand piecing.
- Lace : Wonder for both Bobbin lace & Machine lace
- Longarm quilting : Perfect for creating texture where you don’t want the thread to be a feature. Backgrounds, stitch in the ditch, basting quilts, wholecloth quilting, micro quilting for dense background designs. Match bobbin thread.
- Machine applique' : Ideal when a very fine finish is desired. This weight disappears so your fabric is the feature. Use for a straight stitch, small zig zag, Blind hemming stitch and Blanket stitch
- Machine embroidery : Love it! Great results every time. Use Mako 50wt in the bobbin as well, or your regular bobbin thread – in which case tighten the top tension a little. Use a Microtex 80/12 or Titanium Top Stitch 80/12 needle.
- Machine piecing : Gives a great result with a nice flat seam every time.
- Machine quilting : Use for very detailed machine quilting with a lot of back tracking such as feathers and heavy background quilting . Perfect for quilting that creates texture when you don’t necessarily want to see the quilting lines. Use the same thread in the bobbin. Titanium Top Stitch 80/12 needle

ReplyDeleteSo many things in their store that I'd love to have. Right now I'm looking forward to the holidays though and #1 on my list are all of the Robert Kaufman "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" fabrics. I have two Grandchildren now and another on the way that I would love to make things for them from those fabrics. Heck, *I* want some things for myself even because those fabrics are all just too cute.
ReplyDeleteOther than the holidays though, I really love the Sugar & Sprice line from The Quilted Fish. Those are such happy looking colors.
Thank you for the chance to win some Aurifil thread. I broke down and bought two spools and noticed how much quieter my machine ran while winding bobbins with them right away.
I LOVE how Lola lets you choose the fat quarters you buy.
ReplyDeleteLove the Zen Chic patterns.

ReplyDeleteI had never seen Wrenly by Valori Wells before, but I think it is going to find its way into my stash soon courtesy Lola Pink. Thanks! I’m looking forward to trying the 50wt Aurifil. My LQS only has the 28wt for some reason. It worked well for a project, and I loved it, but you can’t piece with it…
ReplyDeleteThere are many awesome prints and patterns on Lola Pink Fabrics. My favourite pattern is Carolina Patchwork Intertwine Quilt Pattern. It is whimsical and suites my tastes perfectly.

Wow... a new fantastic shop!!! I'm in trouble. Those Metro Living Circles catch my eye every time, so they'd be hard to pass up - but I'd probably go with a few colors or Aurifil. I've been wanting to try it out for ages!
ReplyDeleteFor me, my eyes will always search out for fabric bundles. No need to match this fabric with that.
ReplyDeletehey, thanks for sending me over there, there are a couple of prints from Aviary 2 in the sale section that i have been wanting to pick up...
ReplyDeletei am also a sucker for fabric bundles, especially when it comes to christmas themed fabric, so nice to see selections in that section.
I'm thinking about autumn and looking for oranges. All I had to do was click on the new arrivals page to see some great choices! Cloud9 Across the Pond Aster and The Banks in pumpkin, Patty Young Grand Bazaar Dancing Dragonflies in White, Emily Herrick Going Coastal Sea Star and Sand Dollar in Orange, several Joel Dewberry Heirloom prints in Amber, and my favorite Piece O'Cake Treasures & Tidbits Big Floral Marigold!

I love the Kate Spain Flurry Greens Bundle. Not the typical winter prints. I can think of several projects right off the top of my head that they would be perfect for. http://www.lolapinkfabrics.com/item_1116/Kate-Spain-Flurry-Greens-Bundle.htm
ReplyDeleteI was mesmerized by the new arrivals palindrome. Joel Dewberry's Heirloom, Grand Bazaar from Art Gallery, and Taza certainly caught my eye. There is a QAL on quilty pleasures that would look good in any of these collections from Lola's. Please enter me into the drawing as want to try Aurifil thread too.

ReplyDeleteI love all the bundles they sell!
ReplyDeleteI love the Tula Pink Prince harming fabrics. Thank you for the giveaway.
ReplyDeleteLola Pink is one of my, no it is probably my favorite new online shop. Jennifer and Janet are the ultimate team with their focus being on pleasing the customer. It just doesn't get better then that in my book. I am hoping they will carry Hometown by Sweetwater so I can spend my money with them. They are two of the greatest ladies ever and keep busy running their beautiful "up and coming" business.
ReplyDeleteI love their range of Ann Kelle designs. So fun! :)
ReplyDeleteI love the Going Coastal fabric bundle.
