&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Madeira Thread was founded in Freiburg, 
Germany, in 1919. Madeira is a premier international producer of high 
quality threads that are used for a wide range of home and apparel fashion applications. 
Madeira&amp;#39;s focus is on setting trends and establishing styles in all 
levels of the apparel and home goods industries. You can find out more about Madeira Thread (and even take a video tour of their factory and offices) at &lt;a target="_blank" href="http://www.sewingandcraftclub.com/?fuseaction=category.display&amp;amp;category_ID=174"&gt;SewingandCraftClub.com.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Over 24 miles of thread?? Yep! And you would win it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.quiltersclubofamerica.com/cfs-file.ashx/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/sponsor_5F00_spotlight/madeira-thread-quilt-box.JPG"&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.quiltersclubofamerica.com/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer.Blogs.Components.WeblogFiles/sponsor_5F00_spotlight/madeira-thread-quilt-box.JPG" width="416" border="0" height="576" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;&amp;quot;Color &lt;i&gt;your&lt;/i&gt; life&amp;quot; by winning this amazing Madeira Quilt Box - a $308.00 value!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It includes 60 spools of thread (that&amp;#39;s 42,900 yards, folks!):&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
40&amp;nbsp; - 400m (440 yds) spools&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
20 - 1000m (1,100 yds) spools&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
3 - 1000m&amp;nbsp; (1,100 yds) Monofil&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Aerofil Sew-All Thread is Madeira&amp;#39;s top quality branded sewing thread and manufactured to the highest quality and environmental standards. The thread is
extremely strong and even works excellently on all Sewing, Overlock and
Quilting machines. This remarkable box is a thread box and a thread rack at the
same time! &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Madeira&amp;#39;s more traditional &lt;b&gt;Smart Spool&lt;/b&gt; shape eliminates the &amp;quot;drop
 off&amp;quot; and tangling problems associated with the elongated spools many 
other manufacturers use. And, all Madeira &lt;b&gt;Smart Spools&lt;/b&gt; come with double locking end caps to keep thread neat and tidy.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h2&gt;Here&amp;#39;s how to enter:&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p style="padding-left:30px;"&gt;Madeira Thread comes in so many varieties and luscious, bright colors (even neon)! Here&amp;#39;s what you need to do:&lt;/p&gt;
