You know how some days just give off a sea foam vibe while others are more on the salmon side? No, we’re not talking seafood—we’re talking color! We believe every day should have its own color, because every day is as unique as you and I are. Speaking of you and me, this is where we come in. WE should be able to pick a different color for each different day. And this just in: now one lucky embroiderer will be able to! That’s right—you could win 365 days worth of floss color to saturate your whole year! Is it just me, or did the word “rich” suddenly take on a whole new meaning?

And how is this miracle possible, you may ask? Well, when we heard quality crafting supplier DMC was launching a new creative hub, Commonthread, we wanted to be part of the celebration. (Because when have we ever passed on an opportunity to party?) We love bringing light to new crafting initiatives, and we’re particularly fond of this one. In their own words, Commonthread is DMC’s “tribute to the community of makers, artists, DIY enthusiasts, and anyone who shares the creative spirit.” Pretty much covers all the bases, don’t it?

Still don’t believe us? Well here’s the full monty: they’ve got DIY projects for all kinds of thread crafting, tutorials for beginners, an impressive selection of finished goods crafted by artisan superstars, and kits and patterns to make your own. But who am I kidding? You’re probably already surfing their site, praising the gods in craft heaven while I’m blabbing away over here.

That might be my cue to get back to the contest. Here are the sweet deets: we’re not just giving you a chance to win a year’s worth of embroidery floss, we’re giving you *several* chances. Sound too good to be true? For once, it’s not! There are multiple ways to enter the contest, which means you can increase your number of entries, AND your chances of winning. You have until September 28th to enter, which means your creative juices can flow freely for a full month! Now that I’ve got your attention, enter to win using the Rafflecopter widget below.
