Leap Day Superiority

This giveaway is now closed. Thanks to everyone who stopped by. This giveaway is open until Friday, 3/2, at 6 p.m. PST.

Are you excited? It's Leap Day. And it is Superior Threads giveaway day!! This might not happen for another four years so you better take advantage of it today.

Elizabeth and I were co-conspirators for this fabulous giveaway idea. I had been wanting to get the word out about Superior Threads, and it just so happens that Elizabeth is friends with Bob and Heather (also known as Mother Superior--don't you love it?) Purcell, the owners of Superior Threads. So when Elizabeth and I had the chance to meet in person at the Road2California quilt show in January, the plan was hatched. And Bob and Heather agreed to supply the thread.
I have been a fan of Superior Threads for years.While they offer a great variety of thread, in a magnificent variety of colors, I have mostly used Masterpiece for piecing and King Tut for machine quilting. Superior is in the process of changing all their 50 wt. Masterpiece thread from two-ply to three-ply. This is extra long staple Egyptian cotton that my machines love and it creates hardly any lint.

But if 100% cotton isn't what you are looking for, how about polyester, metallic, or silk?

And I'm definitely planning something for my grandchildren using this cool glow-in-the-dark thread!
The other fabulous thing about Superior is that their website is packed with information. Do you have questions about tension? Thread-specific questions? They have that, and lots more, including troubleshooting and lots of reference guides, a Deal of the Day, a Thread of the Month club, and their newsletter, which includes Bob's joke of the month, reason enough to sign up.


But you're really waiting for the giveaway info, right? Including my blog, go check out all these other fabulous quilters, each offering a chance to try some Superior thread.

Elizabeth from Occasional Piece-Quilt!

Lee from Freshly Pieced

Sherri from A Quilting Life

Leanne from She Can Quilt

Thelma from Cupcakes 'n' Daisies

Jeni from In Color Order

Amy from During Quiet Time

Carla from Lollyquiltz

Jennifer from That Girl, That Quilt

Corey from Little Miss Shabby

Terri from Sew-Fantastic

Here at Live a Colorful Life, just leave a comment  for a chance to win.
The giveaway ends at Thursday, March 1, at 6 p.m. PST.  One winner will receive three spools--two Masterpiece and one King Tut.

The other winner will receive two spools--one Masterpiece and one King Tut--along with coordinating fat quarters of fabric.

It's always fun to ask a comment question because I get the most interesting answers. Let's see...

Okay, how about this? Do you know anyone with a birthday today? Or do you have any special plans for Leap Day?

Well, that was certainly clever.

If you want to leap out on a limb and become a follower (or tell me you already are a follower), that would be cool too.

Also, my friend, Deborah (Simply Miss Luella) is having a fun fabric giveaway, so be sure to head over there as well!

Let the LEAPING begin!

    Ooh, that glow-in-the-dark thread looks so cool! Can't wait to see how you use it :o)

    Thanks for the chance to win the thread too, I've used the King Tut's thread once for quilting, and have picked up (but not used) another couple of spools, but haven't tried their other threads.

    As for the questions, the only person I know with a birthday today is Angie who blogs over at Summerfield Quilts, who is the grand age of 11 today :oD

    I'm a die-hard fan of King Tut and just recently decided I needed to try their solids because I'm having difficulty finding other thread as good! And love those glow-in-the darks - wow!!!!

    My only claim to fame for Leap Day is that rumor has it my mother proposed to my dad on Leap Day!

    I'm one of your faithful followers already!

    I thought that maybe I had some Superior Thread, but upon closer examination of my thread box...I guess I don't.

    As far as I know, I don't have any friends with a birthday today. I don't have any specials plans, either...unless you count just wishing I could call in sick.

    I've seen the glow in the dark threads around but haven't tried them before.

    On Leap Days I generally take the day off to do fun things I want to do or take a day trip someplace new since it's a 'bonus day'.

    Awesome!!! My coworker claims he knows someone who was born on a leap day, but he lies a lot so who knows (lol). My friend had a baby yesterday, though! I plan to work today, then go home and play with my quilty stuff. You know, the usual. :D

    I love that glow in the dark thread! How Fun! For leap day we are leaping over breakfast and having lunch first and then dinner and finally breakfast. Just something to be silly about. In knew a girl in High School whose birthday was today and she got to have a massive party every time her birthday rolled around. I still remember celebrating her 4th (really 16th) birthday with her.

    Thank you for the chance to be entered in your Superior Thread Leap Day giveaway. The only striking thing about this Leap Day is the spring time weather a month and a half early, sunbeams! Winning the set with the yellow and green scissor fabric would be delightful and match this day perfectly.

    Love the Glow in the Dark thread! I'm a huge fan of Superior thread and would love to win some. I'm planning on finishing packing tonight for the quilt retreat I planned for this weekend. It's in memory of my mom and has 10 of her, my aunt, and my closest friends at a hunting lodge. There's lots to get done before Friday!

    My mother's cousin (my second cousin) that she hung out with growing up was born on Feb 29th. Poppy did not like having such a b'day as felt that it shortchanged her on celebrations. Thanks for the great giveaway and fun. I follow too.

    It's my cousin's 4th official birthday today! I remember when she was born, it was so cool! I think it is cool for her now too, but I believe there were a few yonger years where she was upset by it. She still had a birthday party of course, but was told by so many ppl that it wasn't really her birthday...confusing for a little one! hehe

    I don't have special Leap Year plans; I almost forgot this was Leap Day...Leap Year Day...February 29th...whatever. Maybe I will just stay up late tonight sewing. An extra day in the year means extra sewing time and I shouldn't let it go to waste!

    Superior Thread rocks! I would love to win the trio of threads. I must also try some of their glow in the dark!

    I had a day at home with my sewing machine, feel like that only comes round once every 4 years!
    Thanks for the chance x

    I don't know anyone with a bithday today.
    I am already a follower via email notification but did just click on the GFC to follow that way as well.

    I used some glow in the dark thread on my Granddaughters' Trick or Treat bag last year. She LOVED it so much she slept with her bag.

    I have seen many posted comments by Bob in the yahoo groups I am in for machine embroidery but still don't recall trying any of their threads. I am still new enough to quilting that I don't have a favorite thread, or much quilting thread at all actually so I'd love to win some to try. I have a 4 pack that I won last year from Aurifil but haven't used it yet because of the colors. I haven't done anything in that color yet to try any of them. It would be fun to see how they compare if I do win.

    nope can't say I know anyone born on a leap day, but I do plan on leaping over to my machine and doing a wee bit of sewing this evening.
