Aurifil has just announced the details of their 2022 Colour Builders, and it looks pretty amazing! This highly successful thread-of-the-month program is now heading into its third year season, with each year building on the success of the previous.

Yes, you read that correctly – 1993, 27 YEARS! (Robin Hood flour didn’t go online until 1997!) I honestly believe I have the oldest, continually running quilt-related website in Canada.
