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.

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!

Love King Tut thread...and I really love the lemon/lime combo you have there!
We're just eating out at our favorite pizza place then probably re-watching Martin Sheen/Emilio Estevez in The Way (excellent movie!).
Oh I would just LOVE to try King Tut thread. Thanks for the chance. I don't know anyone with a Leap Day birthday...but I bet it'd be fun!
I am a new follower. Two classmates that I am back in touch with via FB are celebrating birthdays today.
I always like to try new things. Thanks for the chance to win.
Thanks for a chance to win some thread.
I dont know anyone who has a birthday today. I am spending the day sewing and reading blogs. I am also entering give aways and hoping to score some thread and fabric.
I don't know anyone born today, nor am I doing anything special for Leap Day. In other words, zzzzzzzzzz. I would love some thread, though! Thanks for hatching this marvelous giveaway plan!
2 family b-days on the 28th - no one on the 29th. I definitely want to try the King Tut. Thanks!
With all the buzz, I am really interested in the rainbow/variegated Superiors, and the polyesters!
I don't know anyone who has a birthday today. I working on
some fabric postcards today.
Would love this thread. Thank
you for the chance to win.
I do have a friend with a birthday today - he's either 28 or 7, depending on how you count it! :)
Today is my friend's daughter's birthday. Love to win quilting thread.
I was born in a leap year but not on a leap day. If I had been born on leap day, I would be only 15 years old today!
Glow in the dark looks so interesting! I have used both threads and love both lines. I know a set of twins who are 15 today!
No, but I always wondered what they do about their birthday! Nothing special here for leap day...although the kids are on the trampoline....leaping away...
wow, kind of a bummer to have a bday today, but maybe it is more special because of that in-betweenness? i think i made up that word...
no plans, just making some baguettes for dinner!
I have used Bottom Line thread and would love to try these! I don't know anyone with a birthday today and I've spent the day quilting. I am already a follower, thanks!
Off the top of my head I can't think of anyone I know that has a birthday today, so I guess the answer to that is No. What I do know is that I love King Tut threads lol. And I've used the Masterpiece too so I would love to win this giveaway.
I am a follower and I love Superior threads.
I used to work in the delivery room and we always wondered how many deliveries we would have on Leap Day. When do they celebrate - a day ahead or a day after??? No big plans here for the day.
Well, I'm a labor and delivery nurse, and I can tell you that we had three babies born on February 29!
I know no one born today...does that make me a Billy No Mates?!
I don't know anyone with a birthday today, but I wonder if it's a cool thing or really lame to have a leap day birthday? ;-)
brookeali(at)hotmail.com
I had a friend in primary school who was born on leap day.I have a great plans,it is raining outside so I can finish my little projects.I would love to try threads,never used them before. Thank you!
I love King Tut!
I would love some thread! I don't know anyone with a birthday today, and we have no special plans, but I am going to try and get to my sewing room and do some sewing.
Thanks for the fun giveaway.

I don't know anyone born on leap day but wish all who are a Happy Birthday! Thanks for the chance to win the thread!
sonya_59457@yahoo.com
I considered asking a guy if he'd go out with me.
I chickened out. :)
These threads look very cool and with all the blog buzz about them, I'm very curious now!
Thanks for the opportunity to try this thread!
Almost know someone DH missed being a leap year baby by just a few minutes. Happy Bithday Honey on March 1st.
Thanks for the giveaway.
I love the fabric with the scissors! The glow in the dark thread looks like fun (of course, I could then lay in bed in the night and see all the quilting mistakes lol). Thanks for the chance to win. VermontPines at aol dot com
Thanks so much for being a part of this giveaway! I have a friend whose daughter is celebrating her "8th" birthday today...such fun!!
I have just ordered some Superior thread and I am waiting for it to arrive. It is my first visit to your site and I like what I see. Thanks for the giveaway.
cameron (modern family) has a leap day birthday - does that count??
Love the thread
Thanks for the nice giveaway. I am so impressed with Bob's responsiveness to customer ideas, as evidenced in his newsletter. That's cool. As you know, I'm already a follower. I don't know anyone with a birthday or have any special plans today. Just work. But my daughter thinks it's pretty special to have a leap year. It's her first one!
I would love to try this thread-thanks! Today was like every other day for me. Don't know anyone with this special birthday!
Thanks for the chance to win the neat thread. I haven't tried it yet.
It was 80 degrees here in AR, so I spent Leap Day outside, took a walk and enjoyed the sunny day.
Cindy I would love the chance to win some thread. I just love this brand for both piecing and the quilting threads. Thanks for giving us the opportunity to win these!!!
Nancy P aka QueenPeach20
I am not doing anything special today - but the day feels "special" anyway, sort of an extra free day!
I know no Leap Year birthday people :(
I have used bottom line, but would like to try others.
I would love to add some new thread to my collection. Thanks
I so not know anyone with a birthday today :( but I love the thread and thanks for the review and giveaway!
Oh, thanks, I just remembered it is my younger sister's wedding anniversary.. it might be her third now perhaps! Easy one to remember and cheap too. Not like this glorious thread on the other hand. {Grace} weftandwarp(at)hotmail(dot)com
Hi, I've had trouble today with many blogs; couldn't seem to make comments...so, I'm backtracking. I think Superior Thread company is wonderful particularly their "education". I would love to win either of your two choices. Thanks.
I dont know anyone with a feb 29th birthday!
I also didnt know that there was a such thing as glow in the dark thread! I would love to try this!
My late Grandmother was a leap year baby so it has always been a special day for our family. She & I were 16 years old together - of course, only by counting her birthday as once every 4 years. Thanks for a lovely giveaway.
My back door neighbor has today as a birthday! He is finally 7 years old! I love the pretty thread and those scissors!! Love them too. Thanks.....
LOVE new thread-- thank you for the chance to win some! :-) Well, I don't think I know of anyone with a birthday today-- but I *almost* did! ;-) My birthday was yesterday, the 28th.. but I don't think I was born on a Leap Year, so guess I wasn't *almost* a Leap baby after all.. :)
Oh I love this thread. Superior is what I usually use and the newsletter emails are very funny!
I always like hearing what threads other quilters use. I use King Tut, Natures Colors and Bottom Line all the time. For Leap Day I was out with a program through our guild teaching quilting to a group of women. These women are in a program to better themselves and improve their lives through education and a variety of learning opportunities. It was a joy to help them and even though there was a language barrier we still got the blocks made and laughed. I am a follower of your blog from Hillsboro Oregon.
I would love to win - Happy Leap Day!
I would love to try this thread! To be able to get it in my favorite shade of green--with matching fabric--that would be amazing!
I don't know anyone with a birthday today... as for what I am doing? I am "leaping" in and out of my sewing chair trying to get a baby quilt top completed! I can't think of a better way to spend the leap day! :)
That glow in the dark thread would be so fun in a kid quilt. Don't know anyone with a LY BDay but was explaing Leap Year to my granddaughter this morning & she was saying how cool it would be to be born on the 29th of Feb.
I finished my daughters birthday quilt today (she turned 11 on 2-19). And we got about 20"f snow, so that made it even nicer to stay in and do some sewing/quilting.
Those glow-in-the-dark threads are very cool! Thanks for the chance to win this nice thread.

I have not tried this thread yet but really have been wanting to. Thanks for the chance.
One of my students had her birthday today--she was very excited about her 4th birthday, on which she turned 16!
I have never tried Superior thread so I would to win some. Don't know anyone who has a birthday today or got married on this day.
I know no one with this birthday. What fun it would be. I plan to have a day of no TO DO lists or responsibility. Just have fun. Kathie L in allentown
Thank you for the chance to win some new thread
Love Superior Thread. Sorry, I know no one whose birthday is today.
Actually I have a nephew that was born on this day but they celebrate it the 28th of Feb...but that is the only one I know of...yes I am a follower and would love to try the King Tut thread...thanks for the fun.
I am a new follower.
I have not tried the King Tut line but would love to. I have used Superior threads before and loved it. I still have lots to learn about thread so I will be checking out Superior's website later.
Thank you and Superior Thread for a great giveaway and a chance to win.

Hi, Great blog. I have an old school friend, who has her B'day today! I would be happy to try out this thread, as I have never seen it at the shops around here....( of course we don't have many shops...:)Lovely fabric also, very cute! thanks for the chance.
Don't know anyone born on this date but I DID want to fill in my geocaching day today since the opportunity doesn't roll around that often! LOL Thanks for the great giveaway.
I spent all day sewing today!
oooh oooh pick me pick me!!!!! :) today felt somewhat normal, I was hoping that having that extra day would allow me to get a bunch of stuff done...finished my schnibble but the paper I need to grade are still staring at me.
No...don't know anyone having a b'day today. If I were, I think I'd be 15 or getting close to it! I've never tried this type of thread and would love to. Those are some wild colors.
When I was a preschool teacher, there was a little guy in my class whose birthday is February 29th... so I think of him every Leap Day. He was such a cutie! Thanks for the chance to win. :)
I would love to win some thread!
My best friends Grandma's birthday today and my good friend Desna!

I don't know anyone with a birthday today - really love those threads though!!
You're kind of blowing my mind with the glow in the dark thread. Wow. My plans for today were to sneak away to the grocery store and buy sugar/preservative laden peanut butter chocolate chip cookies. Yum.
I would love to try these threads. I currently use Superior's silk thread for my applique and I love it. Thanks for the opportunity.

No one with a bday and I worked all day....not too clever an answer for you!
Work moved offices so worked from 8 am to 9pm so I want to leap into bed.

I'd love to try this thread! Thanks for the chance! All I did with my extra day was clean and organize. I'm already a follower! Happy Day! :)
Just a friend from church...shes 13 today:-) haha
Would love to try King Tut!
My leap day involved going to a Parent / Teacher night...heard good things about Miss 17 ...so it was a celebration!

My Uncle Greg is 11 years old today! lol He's actually 44, but we love to tease him. Thanks for the great giveaway!
Hi there, My husbands work made celebrates his birthday once every four years. Really wired when you think about it. Thanks for the giveaway.
Hugs
My aunt celebrated her 15th birthday on leap-day.... My kids are catching up to her! My brother and I already did
Mh, for me it is not a special day.
I can imagine how awesome would look a youngster quilt with this illuminating thread :)
Susanne
thesea threads are fab
about leap day, no birthdays and I treated myself with a nice day in the sun, quite unusual overhere at this time of the year
WOW!!! I LOVE the sunday morning quilt block...fabulous fabric!!
I can't wait to see what you make :)
am new to quilting and very new to the blogging....have only used YLI so far and would love to try Superior!!
Thanks for the chance...
Glow in the dark thread is cool! It would be fab on a kids quilt.
Not much happened on leap day this year...but several years ago I used it as an opportunity to ask my DH to marry me :o)
I would love to win this thread so I can try it out. Nicoleg0AtHotmailDotCom
I like give-aways!! And I like King Tut threads, it's unbeatable!
Is it bad I didn't even realise it was a Leap year until people started blogging about it!!? So I didn't do anything special - maybe in four years, if I remember!
The giveaway is fab and I love the glow in the dark thread too :)
Glow in the dark! wow!
We didnt do anything special but we did sneak off to Awana's last night. My girls look forward to that program, and i love my own alone time in the Ester bible study. So we had a blast yesterday!
That glow in the dark threads look like so much fun, can't wait to see what you do with them!
I didn't have fun plans fr leap day, just physical therapy as usual and then a stop at my lqs for a special sale of 29% off one item.
I have a student that was saying yesterday that it was her grandma's birthday, and she was turning 16....hehehe!
Thanks for the giveaway :)
Oh, it would be great to win some of that beautiful thread. I used a whole spool up recently and I don't know of any shop around my town that sells it. I really liked it too.
I don't know anyone who was born on leap day but my hubby was born on Feb. 28.
That glow in the dark thread is awesome! I hadn't heard of it before and now I'm gonna HAVE to get some :) Now, about Leap Day. My almost-eight-year-old was almost born on leap day. I begged my ob to induce that day, but no dice. Right now he's pretty happy they didn't do it - he's at that age where missing birthdays is NOT cool :)
My husband's uncle Frank has a Leap Day birthday. We took him to lunch for yesterday for his "18th" birthday. When my children were little, they loved telling their friends that they had an uncle who only had a birthday once every four years. The other kids were horrified at the idea.
I think it would be fun to have a Leap Day birthday especially when people asked how old are you! My husband's grandfather was a leap day baby and he was only 18 when he passed... hehehe
I haven't tried Superior threads, so it would be great to win some. My Leap Day plan is quilting a baby quilt.
I really would love to win this time!
I would love to try some different thread. So exciting - maybe a whole new world is about to open!
Love King Tut thread, superior thread really is superior. And yes we do have a friend with a leap day birthday. His was '18' yesterday, he says he hopes he reached legal age - 21, especially now that he has retired.
Awesome! All the thread looks beautiful.
I don't know of anyone's birthday on Leap Day. And I really just bummed my entire day away on the couch. I didn't even sew. :(
Thanks for the chance to win.... I am now on the hunt for some Glow in the dark thread!!! I do not know any leap yr babies... Plenty of birthdays on the 29th but not in feb!!
I love Superior Threads and am starting to use the recommended topstitch needles for all my sewing ...wow, what a difference. Just got some glow-in-the dark and some Sunburst threads and looking forward to making some cool Ts for my GS. Thanks for the great give-away opportunity.
Does glow-in-the-dark thread in your quilt keep you awake at night? Or, does it just provide enough light to find your way to the bathroom at 3:00 AM?
Hi Cindy, Superior Threads are the BOMB! Once I started using them several months ago, I will not use any other thread! Yesterday being Leap Day, I spent the day quilting and getting my quilt ready to bind. As for knowing someone that had a birthday today I can't say that I do. The one Superior Thread I haven't used is the glow in the dark but I will before 2012 is over!! I would love to win any of the items you are giving away. Thank you again and Good luck Everyone!!
I use Superior threads & I love them. They have wonderful silk thread which I like to sew & piece quilt blocks with.
Actually, I do know someone who has his birthday Feb 29. My daughters ex boyfriend!
I'm a long arm quilter and only use Superior Threads on my customer quilts-in fact, I used So Fine #462-Aster on a baby quilt that I quilted on Leap Day yesterday! I also LOVE Masterpiece thread for all of my piecing because the thread takes up so little room in the seam allowance!

Gosh I would Love to win thread, I have never used this brand and would love to give it a whirl on the old vintage brother!
I would love to win some Superior threads to use in my sewing for charity. I do happen to know two leap year folks - both from my volleyball group.
Thanks for a chance.

I don't know anyone born on a leap day, but I think if I was I would have been sad when I was a little girl.
Thanks for the opportunity. I've never even heard of this thread before...looks great!
I thank you for the opportunity to enjoy these threads.
I Love colour, and I need thread, so these Superior threads would certainly fit the bill!
Thanks for offering this giveaway!
Not sure my first comment was linked, so here goes ... Gorgeous Superior thread choices are making me drool. Thanks for the chance to win them!

No I don't know any Leap Year birthday boys or girls but I love Superior Threads and look forward to their newsletter, especially the Bob's joke at the end. I can tell those to my grand kids and my mother without embarrassing myself.
