Dryads were ancient spirits of the trees — it was thought that if a tree died, it must have had a very neglectful dryad. I have always had a deep love of trees and get teased (lovingly) by friends for my insatiable fascination and excitement over trees. They are one of my keenest sources of inspiration, so when I began to sketch for my first line of fabric, naturally branches and leaves were the first things to emerge.
How did you go about selecting the colors within the collection?
I chose colors I am most drawn to when quilting; I wanted to make fabric that I’d reach for during a fabric pull.
Do you have a favorite print in the collection?
That’s a difficult one… I love the branches print– especially in the blue colorway, but the cross section print that I made from a block print of a couple different tree cross-sections is certainly a favorite… I love the texture. I’m also a sucker for a text print, and this text being one of my favorite poems makes it all the more lovely.
What do you love most about Aurifil Threads?
I love the vibrant color options and the incredible quality. It always performs smoothly and beautifully.
50wt is my go-to. I like it because it is perfect for piecing and quilting, but it also works great for machine embroidery– I almost always satin stitch around my appliqué pieces, and the 50 wt is lovely for it.
How do you go about selecting which color to use for the finishing stitches on your appliqués? Do you prefer something to contrast or something to coordinate with the primary background color?
It completely depends on the project. If the appliqué piece already contrasts the background starkly, I typically will choose a thread that blends well with the appliqué piece. However, if there is not much contrast between the appliqué piece and the background (and I almost always want there to be, because I like the pieces to stand out), I will create the contrast with a thread that is darker or brighter than the majority of the piece. For example, in the scissors quilt, I chose the vibrant orangy/red (#1104) thread to help define the scissors since there was so much going on with the background and in the appliqué piece.
Do you have any tips or tricks for machine appliqué with Aurifil’s 50wt thread that you’d like to share?
Every machine is different, but my golden range for a perfect satin stitch with the 50wt thread is 2.5-3mm width (however for very detailed work I will sometimes decrease it to 2.3mm) and 0.5-0.8mm length — the setting I use most frequently is 2.7 width and .7 length.
I think Dryad would be perfect to use in a quilt to send to college with my niece. It has so much vibrancy and energy and would be great in a dorm room. It certainly would not scream, “My aunt made this for a little girl!”
Wow! That fabric and what Shannon does with is exquisite!!!! I’m not sure I could do it that much justice, but would definitely love to have some of it to do whatever magic I could….
I think I would make a mini applique quilt like the ones shown in this post. A mini would be a good way for me to dip my toes into machine applique.
Love the vibrant colors. I would like to make a landscape quilt of some sort.
I’ve been wanting to make myself a quilted jacket and the colors in these fabrics would span the seasons. I think it would be a good fit.
You are now bookmarked in my computer! I love the patterns and how you used this great collection. I cannot wait to start with the black and whites and then on to the world!
Beautiful colors. I have several friends who will be new grandmas soon. I would love to make a baby quilt with these.
I would like to make a quilt for my brother in law with these fabrics. Thanks for the chance.
I’d make a bright and cheerful table runner and placemats!
Several bags for sure, I would love to play with all the coordinating thread with Dryad!
I’m in love with the impro quilt in the second picture. It’s what I want <3.
Love the beautiful colors. I do embroidery as well, have new grand babies just born and have several quilt projects that need great colors to brighten up the quilts.
I think the Dryad collection needs to be made into a manly quilt for my brother. The colors are just somber enough for a guy with that touch of bright that the burnt orange brings.
New pillows for the cabin. I love the nature prints.
I think I would use the Dryad prints to make some sofa pillows for my daughter.
Beautiful colours – a throw quilt would pick up the teal of our couch and still keep things from getting overly matchy.
I have a pattern for a large elephant applique on a quilt. I’ve been searching for just the right fabric for it. The quilt is going to be for my daughter, and these fabrics are ones I think she would be drawn to.
Looks like a fun fabric collection. I love making quilts for family.
What beautiful fabric!! I would make a quilt for my nephew who is graduating from high school.
What would I make??? Hmmm. I really love modern quilts but have never made one. I’m thinking something geometric with geometric quilting.
I’m just starting to get into applique and I love the idea of the satin stitch for it. My granddaughter would love these fabrics in a new throw quilt!
Oh wow what beautiful fabrics……inspires me to make a landscape quilt, such great earthy colors. Thanks for the chance to win! Happy Sewing :0)
I would use some of the fabrics for your giraffe pattern and the threads would be perfect!!!!
I’d make something to wear. A quilted vest would be great.
I’m not sure what I would make with this collection. I’m thinking some kind of an applique sampler would show off these great prints to advantage. And, of course, the thread will be useful in all sorts of places.
Thanks for the chance to win.
I’d make some throw pillows with this fabric! Lovely prints!
I would use this collection to make my daughters quilt which is based around 12 sun bonnet sue hand embroidered squares.

I’d make a quilt for our summer cabin in memory of the huge oak tree that used to be in the backyard.

Great fabrics !
I think i’d made a series of cushions for my couch !
Beautiful collection! I would like to make a gorgeous lap quilt.
This is certainly a very modern look for fabric. It would be very suitable for a young person say high school through the 30’s or 40’s for sure.
this was fun to learn about her. i would make some pillows for my daughter
I’d make a beautiful quilt with it. No idea of the design yet, that’d come to me once I’d stared at the actual fabrics for a few days.
Thanks for the giveaway. I think it would make beautiful bags.
Such pretty colors for a baby quilt!
I’d love to make some of the projects from Shannon’s Scrappy Bits Appliqué
Book!
I would make a quilt. Great thread colors to go along with the collection of wonderful fabric.
I enjoy both hand applique and liberated patchwork. Shannon’s fabrics would be fun to use in a liberated star or liberated log cabin quilt. Maybe I’d put some hand applique in the border. The fabrics look luscious and enticing to work with. Thanks!
Those red & greens would look great on a Christmas quilt! I have in mind, it’d a modified log cabin!
I would make a Stacked Squares quilt.
patsystitch@gvtc.com
Those colors of thread would be perfect to use in the flannel quilts that I am going to be making for my husband and son this winter. They are beautiful!

I am a huge fan of both Shannon Brinkley and Aurifil threads, so I would love to win this one. I’d like to make a Shannon style lap quilt that I’ve been trying attempting to design.

A lap quilt for the family room to snuggle under while watching TV.
I love Paintbrush Studio fabric. This Dryad fabric would make a gorgeous table runner.

Gorgeous fabrics!
I’d make a quilt for my daughter!
I’d like to make a Falling Leaves block quilt and embellish it with thread painting. I just love these colors for fall!
What a big inspiration in these beautiful quilts ! This what I love with Aurifil : we discover great creators ! Thank you ! 🙂
I would love to win and make a quilt for my new grandbaby due in May. Beautiful fabric.
That is a beautiful collection! I would design a twin size quilt for those fabrics. A good size for using on a bed, but also to display on a sofa or chair. I would want to display the quilt and show off those fabrics as much as possible, so a versatile quilt size is a must!
I think I would have to make that scissors applique wall hanging for my sewing room…that is too cute!
I love the things you made. I think I would make a purse or bag. Now that I think about,I might also use it in a baby quilt.
Oh, so many things! U have a bright quilt that I’m making for my new great-niece, so I’d work on that!
Looks for me as ” a good reason ” to start with a quilt project if I’m winning
I would love to make a mini landscape to hang in my front hall!
I’m moving soon, leaving a lot of good friends behind and have been trying to make something for each of them to remember me by. This fabric would make the perfect quilt for one of those friends who loves trees and woods.

The Dryad prints would be perfect for Bagmaking.
I absolutely love Applique. I thrive on the complicated details. The tiny bits that make it seem real. Aurifil thread makes those smallest details shine. Like for instance 1/2 hexies appliqued on a miniature table runner for a mug rug. If I won the package, rest assured everything would be put to good use as I try to enlarge my inventory of Aurifil threads, and one can never have enough beautiful fabric. My hopes are one day to use nothing Aurifil.
I’d maybe make some cushion covers – I think these would go well in my living room. Thanks for the chance to win!
I can definitely see an appliqué quilt using the Dryad fabrics. Love the low volume and the contrast in the prints.

I have loved Aurifil threads for a long time. Just had a fire at my house and most of the thread is gone but I have inventoried what I had and will be replacing it. Just getting into applique but can’t quilt without this thread.
I would use that gorgeous fabric and thread for a quilt. I’d love to work it into a quilt to hang on our wall above our family room sofa.
I would make a country style mini quilt.
Perfect colours for a quilt for my nephew and his fiancee. Modern prints with a bit of a hint of the sea in the colors – he is a weekend sailor.

With a bundle of Dryad in my hands, I’d be cutting it up to make a choir tote to hold my music binder, glasses and a water bottle! It would be the perfect fabric!
I love the woodsy feel of this fabric line. It would make a great lap quilt for our porch swing in our cabin in the mountains of North Carolina. And I am a big fan of Aurifil threads.
Beautiful fabrics and threads! The colours are gorgeous and work so well together. I would use them for a wallhanging I am planning to make for our entry hall.
I would choose to make a quilt that, depending on the scale size of the fabrics, would show off the pretty prints. Maybe an applique flower border and try some satin stitching like Shannon does. Great pictures and nice interview with Shannon!
Your fabric and colors are so beautiful!! I hope I win! Otherwise I will have to buy:)
I have an idea for a wallhanging that would look nice using the fabric. Love the colors and designs.
I don’t typically do applique, but Shannon’s Bear is really calling to me. I would love to make that in a lap quilt. Thanks for sharing the fun!
Shannon’s fabrics are beautiful and just scream the beginning of the summer outdoors, I can feel the woods all around me, and the lush blue of the lakes and even the blue of the sky on an early summer day….. I live in the back woods part of the Smoky Mtns. In Graham Co. NC. I would say I would have to quilt some bed runners with scena of trees and animals or Creek scenes and a pillow or two to match for each bed, a wall hanging at the main door and placemats to adorn my dining room table.. Giving this alive sense of color and scenery feel to my whole house hold. As this is how we feel when we spend most of our time and days outside! The Dryad cloth and matching Aurifil are the perfect combination for a love of the trees, animals and scenes of the great out doors.
After I finish today’s satin finish around some heart appliques that I’ve put on an infant quilt, I would love to use these fabrics and threads in my quilt groups Row by Row exercise. One never knows how these will turn out But I have a feeling that if I win I will have a better chance at coordinating my rows better than some 😉 ☺
Love these and just today found the most amazing purse that these would be perfect for. Thanks for the chance! – Rina

I would make a bag to carry my hand stitching projects.
The colors are wonderful – I would make quilted pillows for my couch.
I think these are colors my sons girlfriend would like, so I’d work with her on a quilt pattern she likes and make it for her.
I would either make an overnight bag with it, or gift it to a quilty friend!
Excited for this fabric! My grandson wants the Scrappy Appliqué quilt of the world map for his room! My son; his Uncle is active duty military and my grandson feels having the quilt on his wall will help him keep track of his Uncle!

Wall hangings! Appliques of chickens, rabbits, fruits and vegetables for my farm market!
It seems fitting to make a super-cool appliquéd tree quilt.
I would applique a scene where spring moves into autumn – trees seem perfect with the colours. The Aurifil thread colours inspire me to make something very different – new life bursting forth. love it 🙂
Dryad is a very nice, well rounded collection. I’d love to try make a version of the improv-style quilt shown in the photo of Shannon’s booth to the right of the blue bookcase. I might also use it in some bags.
Thanks for the awesome giveaway opportunity including the yummy Aurifil threads!
The colours are so beautiful! I’d love to use Dryad to make a star wall-hanging and I’d also add some machine embroidery for embellishment.
I would make a quilt but would wait until after Quiltcon as I know inspiration will be in abundance there😄
Love the bright colors. I would make a cozy quilt with it!
I would make a quilt!!! Love the fabric and thread!
Pretty collection! I would definitely use this to make a quilt for my niece. Thanks!
That would make a great sofa quilt for my husband! His is a rather outdated paisley, and it’s time for a new one!
I’m currently working on a Medallion quilt that these fabrics would be perfect for both in design and color. Thanks for the opportunity!
I just love Dryad!! The colors and designs remind me of coastal CA with our redwood forests leading to the cliffs and ocean. I would make a wallhanging for my dear friend using appliqué and satin stitching for the first time to recreate San Francisco’s classic “49 mile scenic route” signs. This collection would be perfect for it!
I would make a lap quilt for my husband. He always misses out on these. Usually the ones I make are quite girly and claimed by friends. It would be great for him to have one to call his own!
This would be perfect to make my beautiful new granddaughter a beautiful new quilt! The fabrics are some I will have to have in my stash for sure.
What a wonderful group of fabrics! Some groups just give you inspired freedom. Love these!
After making soo many things for my new grandbaby, and always making things for my grown kids and my family, I would make some pillows or begin a quilt or wall hanging to start decorating the upstairs. I had an empty nest two years ago and my husband let me have the whole upstairs for a sewing studio and decorate a pretty spare room MY way instead of turning it into an office for him. I have yet to make a THING for myself. I give everything away, lol. But, I love my family and love giving! This time though, I would really like to do for me. Its TIME!
I really like all the colors and am working on my first quilt and wonder what thread would work best to set it off. I would make a wall hanging.
gandn74@ymail.com
With eleven great grands to quilt for these great fabrics and threads would be wonderful.
This is just such rich pretty colors. I am sure I would make a quilt, and I love the idea of something that has an improv feel to it.
The colours and prints in this line look great. I would make a quilt with them. I love Auriful threads for quilting!
Gorgeous fabrics! I think they would work well with a quilt idea I have been playing around with
Lets be honest:
If I won, it would sit on my shelf so I could look at and say “I can’t believe I won!” Then I would find a pattern and say “no, not perfect for that fabric!” Until one day when I decide to make a wall hanging or maybe placemats so I could still look at the fabric everyday and say “I can’t believe I won!”
I would like a light summer wrap or throw for cool evenings ouside in a few short months.
I’d make my son, who drag races, a quilt with these colors in the background. I can picture how thrilled he’d be.
I would make handbags.
Hiw beautiful. I’d make appliqued dress for my granddaughter!
I would use this for one of the Jaybird patterns with hexagon blocks–Daybreak or Night sky. This would create scraps for a nice scrappy applique project.
What beautiful fabric! I would make some new coordinated sewing room accessories, sewing mat, machine cover, mini quilts.
The multiprint fabric is wonderfully wild. I love the color palette. I would for sure make me a tote bag with some of it.
i would love to use these fabrics to make some spring dresses for my little girl.
I would make a lap quilt or wall hanging for my living room–the colors are so lovely and rich.
I’d like to try a mini appliqué first!

Definitely can envision a wall hanging in my son’s new condo.. There is a perfect space for one..
Thanks for opportunity to win!
Love the blues most but the whole collection needs to be in a quilt. I love the mini quilt that looks like a cityscape. I would enlarge that, it would be gorgeous. Thanks.
I’d make my sister a quilt for her 40th birthday.
Oh!!… I DO love Shannon’s Dryad fabric collection!!
I need to make five baby quilts (!) and I know these fabrics would be perfect!
… Three baby boys, one girl, and one will be a surprise!… And Shannon’s Dryad collection is just what I want for the modern, bright and beautiful, happy quilts that I am seeing in my mind!!
Thank you!
Pat T.
I’d make a baby blanket for the next soon to be baby of my cousin.
I love trees also! I would love to make a block with a horse on it similar to your unicorn. The perfect thing that I need right now!
I would definitely make a wall hanging. Thanks for the chance to win!
I would love to try some new applique with it- those scissors in the post are amazing! Maybe some trees, a chipmunk, so many possibilities.
I love walking amongst the tall trees, in the city, in the park, in the country. Shannon’s love for trees speaks volumes. With the Dryads collection I’d quilt a mural, a skyline per se of trees, and hang it directly above my sewing machine as I have no windows there. What beautiful tonal’s.
Love Shannon’s style and her new line. I definitely need to pick some up!
I have a number of quilt patterns that Dryad fabrics would look great in–a triangle one from Big Blocks, Big Style by Gudrun Erla, for example. I also love the look of the messenger bag tutorial!
I’d make a quilt, of course! I’m not sure what pattern, but love this collection!
Such a pretty collection, I’d like to do some appliqué!
I would make a lap quilt, the colors are striking together, thanks for giveaway.
I would make a modernized disappearing nine patch quilt with this fabric. I love the white text print!
I’d love to try this fabric in a design by a friend of mine, Melissa of Sew BitterSweet Designs. She makes wonderful modern quilts and I think this line would be perfect for one of them. I might actually keep it for myself!
I’d use the fabric in a quilt, most likely one of my designs, but would then give it as a gift. Thread is perfect for it and the fabric is lovely!
I would love to use it in a quilt. kthurn(at)bektel(dot)com
Very inspiring for a modern quilt. And some flying geese are calling
Beautiful fabrics and thread! I’d love to make a throw for my husband to use in our travel trailer on our trip to New England in the fall!
I would love to make a few modern patchwork animal quilts. I love the script background too. crystalbluern at tds dot net

Thanks,

I would love to make the Enchanted Forest quilt that Stacey in Stitches has on her blog. It’s beautiful.
I would make a disappearing 9 patch, leaving the pieces large enough to showcase the awesome colors and prints!
I would make a little quilt for my mother, 81 years old. She had her living room painted and new carpet on the floor. Now she needs some ‘art’ on the wall to look at.
I love that Unicorn quilt – I would be making one of those for over my desk at work!!!
I love the colors, I would make a bed runner!
I would love dryad prints for my eldest daughter’s quilt. Gorgeous!
We’re expecting a grandbaby this year, and this collection looks perfect for a bright and cheerful baby quilt. (P.S. I’m a huge fan of trees in every season, too!)
I just collect all of my “that’s not white whites” and these would be fantastic for a quilt using those. My daughter has been reminding me how long it has been since I made her a quilt – over 5 years, and she wants a king size bed for their new HUGE bedroom. These are her style – so that is what I would make. Maybe a lot of background and a lot of color coordinated intense machine quilting. Picture rivers of color flowing from fantastic ‘feature blocks’ set off center – randomish in design. She a modern lady.
I think these would represent the elements of nature. Would be beautiful with an ocean, beach theme.
I like to use any fabric that I get free on charity quilts,
I like to use freebies in charity projects
Congratulations to Karin! Enjoy your goodies 😀
