Carrie's Threads Bingo - Wednesday's Draw

Post by Mabel Figworthy »

As some of you may know, I like silks... :-) and some of the silks I've been using are Carrie's Creation Threads, which come in glorious colours and are lovely. Most of her colours now come in three types of thread: stranded cotton (over-dyed DMC), floche (overdyed DMC, an indivisible thread about as thick as two strands of cotton, and slightly less shiny), and stranded silk (lovely and shiny, and quite easy to work with. really!).

In this bingo you pick your ten from a list of 30 of her colours. The ones that are picked every day will be shown with a picture. The winner gets to choose either 5 stranded cottons, 4 skeins of floche, or 3 silks -- go to her site, pick the ones you like (there are MANY more than these 30!), tell me, and I'll make sure they're sent to you.

And here are the 30 colours:

Alex's Inspiration
Aurora
Banana Split
Bliss
Caribou Hide
Cherry Popsicle
Chocolate Cream Pie
Clouds in the Sky
Coral Reef
Cornflower
Dreamsicle
Dusty Rose
Fall Splendor
Fat Tuesday
Fresh Grass
Hearts on Fire
Joy Noel
Key Lime
Moose Drool
Mountain Sage
Old World Red
Orange Grove
Orchid
Peppermint
Pina Colada
Rainbow
Sassy
Spring Delight
Sunburst
Sunrise

PM me with your choices, and I will draw the first 3 on Tuesday 26 May.
