| New Thread Names for Aurifil | ||||||||
The thread names I've used for years are now a thing of the past. Aurifil has officially announced names for each of their colors. You have to chuckle! Some of the names will make no sense to english speaking thread lovers. They also duplicated 13 of the names. So I used a #2 after the name when I saw a duplicate. You will see names like Wine and Wine #2. I've called this to their attention and hope they will make some changes. One of the names that was used twice was the name, "Spotted". Hmmm? What color does that conjure up for you? I asked Aurifil if there was an English translation for their colors "Tramonto a Zoagli" and "Limoni di Monterosso". I was told "no", and that those were the names of Italian cities. Hmmm? I wonder what I am missing here. If I named a thread color "Philadelphia", would that help Italian shoppers visualize a color? I don't think so.... |

| My Favorite New Thing | ||||||||
My Favorite New Thing is the 4" Magnetized decorative hangers.
They're so cute
and since I put 4" sleeves on most of my Patch Abilities Projects,
they go
together
beautifully. What a cute gift to make someone a little mini quilt
and give them a way to display it at work on a metal file drawer or desk drawer.
Look at the two that are
on my refrigerator door as we speak. |
