We posted last Monday about the Oh Canada! Maple Leaf Quilt Pattern being now available + a limited time offer of another pattern (fabric buckets) from Tamara Kate (see below). AND the Aurifil Janome Canada 150 Thread box giveaway.
Tamara Kate of Kayajoydesigns.com is one of our Janome Canada artisans who has been featured in several blog posts in the past. Tamara Kate designed this exquisite quilt below for our Canada 150 Limited edition sewing machine and featured in our Cross Canada Look book this summer. The quilt was also on display in the Janome booth at Quilt Canada in June in Mississauga, Ontario.
Please see the post last Monday for more information about this magnificent quilt and check out the links to the Pattern for the quilt and the limited time offer of a free fabric basket pattern when you purchase the maple leaf pattern
The colours in the thread box are based on the logo colours and quilt which tamara Kate designed. Please see below for info on how you can enter to win one of 2 boxes of this thread.
The Maple Leaf quilt pattern is available at Craftsy: https://www.craftsy.com/quilting/patterns/oh-canada-maple-leaf-quilt/503556

Beautiful colours. I would use them to embellish the Hudson Bay beach bag that I am embroidering for my grand daughter. I have downloaded the free Canada 150 leaf and would add her name in an arc above the leaf and the words Canada 150 in a reverse arc under the leaf. The possibilities are endless. Thank you.

The brilliant colours of these Aurifil threads would find there way onto several winter projects I’m planning with bright embroidery designs – likely a few of the 15000 built in designs.
