Happy February! I love how our Aurifil Artisan challenges allow me to play with my fabric collection. This month is all about our favourite thread weight! I truly wanted to say that every weight is my favourite as use several different ones in all of my projects. Although, if I had to choose one it would be Aurifil’s 50 wt. The latter is one of the reasons that made me fall in love with the brand and is what I use to piece all of my quilts!

Now onto my project, I chose to turn the Pacific Sun Pattern by XOXSEW into a quilted pillow cover. I went with bright and bold colours because one I love them and two I’m hoping that spring will arrive sooner by sewing with these beautiful colours. I used AGF Field of Lavender as the background colour which I actually won in a giveaway during the pattern launch. I used two beautiful Ruby Star Society prints as the contrasting colours.
