I went to Northern Threads in Fairbanks when my husband and and I were in Alaska. I was fascinated by the store. There were so many choices for notions, fabrics and quilting goodies. The selection of patterns made me wish we had a quilt shop like that in Ohio. There were so many things I wanted but I still had ten days of my trip to go. We came with full suitcases. I ended up buying a small fraction of what I wanted. When I got home I regretted not buying several patterns to go with the northern lights fabric and Alaska kit I bought. Imagine my surprise when I saw the most wonderful quilt made from the pattern I didn’t buy. I searched online and found exactly what I wanted. I ordered the pattern at the beginning of the week and had it on my hands by Friday! What a surprise. I expected that it would take much longer.

Read moreI was part of a Quail Quilt A-Long that lasted several months where I invested many, many hours in the making of my quilt. I didn’t want to leave the quilting to just anyone; I’d heard good things about Northern Threads and they did not disappoint! My quail quilt is absolutely beautiful. They called to ask if I wanted a certain batting and another time to double check my thread choice. The turn around time from mailing it to them and arriving back at my home was less than ten days!

I will definitely send them more work. Now to sew another quilt! Thanks...
