Time really does fly when you are having fun; it has been two years now since I told my friend and fellow designer Cylinda Mathews, "I wish there was a Facebook group just for thread crochet. I think I will start one." And even though I didn't have a clue how to go about it, I did.
As I say, time flies, and the group now has over 8,000 members! If you are not already a member, I hope you will stop by and join us. The talent of the members is truly amazing, I can't wait to see the photos they post every day!https://www.facebook.com/groups/Threadies/
So, to celebrate the Threadies second birthday, I though we should have a contest, and I knew the perfect item to use for the prize:
 |
| The bird screws off the top so you can put the thread on the stand. |
During our second CAL (crochet along) back in Feb. 2015, I posted this picture of my work in progress:
We were making the Diamond Points Doily, designed by Cylinda Mathews:
My doily got a few of the usual "how pretty" comments, but what really caught everyone's attention was my thread holder. I had to confess, it was actually intended to be a toilet paper holder that I had bought off Ebay a few years ago. A lot of the members fell in love with it, and several actually ordered their own stands!
I thought it might make a prize a Threadie would enjoy so I ordered a brand new one just for this contest.
Here is the information on the contest and the rules:
1: I will give one person the thread holder/toilet paper stand (use it however you desire!) pictured in the first photo above (no thread or doilies will be included)
2: The contest is open to all members of the Threadies Facebook group and to readers of my blog (although I hope you will be both!)
3: The box will be shipped via USPS Priority Mail.
4: The contest will run from today (Nov. 14th) through Nov. 27th 2016.
5: I will select the winner at random from all comments left on this post and announce the winner's name here on the morning of Nov. 28th, so please be sure to check back to see if you won.
6: Only comments left on this post will be entered; comments left on Facebook, emails, etc. WILL NOT be eligible to win (it is too difficult to coordinate comments left in different places.) Only one entry per person, please!
7: If the winner does not contact me within 7 days of the end of the contest, I will select a new winner, and the prize will be awarded to them. Failure to contact me within 7 days will result in forfeiture of the prize.
8: If you post anonymously, please be sure I have a way to identify you (at least give your first name or a nick name in your comment; I have no way of knowing who is posting.)
To enter, just leave a comment answering this question:

ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary Threadies!!! I can't wait to see what the next years bring!!
ReplyDeleteI love making anything from thread. Congrates to you Elizabeth Ann White for then great group.
ReplyDeleteDOILIES!! I have loved them for as long as I can remember. I've always wanted to find unique vintage doilies at sales, and didn't have much luck. So I thought I should try making some. Ecru was my choice of color, then I found 'THREADIES', and I love the variegated threads everyone is using. Now I'm thinking wouldn't it be really awesome if I could figure out how to take a doily pattern and make a shell to wear......
ReplyDeleteThanks,
Lauri Riggs
Happy Anniversary! Hard to decide what I most to crochet with thread. I do many doilies☺��but my fav is when I do items free hand. ��
ReplyDeleteHi Ann....thank you for having the threadies page on facebook...I really enjoy the site, and the people that are included in the group are some of the most friendliest, and kind people I have met in a group. It feels like family. To answer your question...my favorite thing to make are doilies......go figure...thanks again
ReplyDeleteI love crocheting coasters or mini doilies out of thread because you can get instant gratification from them, and they are so useful! Thank you for this giveaway...crossing my fingers that I get lucky!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful group to have joined :D I'm following your blog now too :D
ReplyDeleteMy favorite thing to crochet with thread- doilies. Thank you for being the only reason I log onto Facebook anymore! Love this group and really want to win!
ReplyDeleteI love making ornaments for our Christmas tree and beautiful flowers.
ReplyDeleteMostly doilies !! Just recently purchased two more of your gorgeous patterns !!! Love that I can get back to crocheting - illness and antibiotics (massive amounts) at the end of last year made me unable to walk and had to learn all over again and nerve neuropathy in my hands - I lost my hands!!! Coming back now, and my doilies are the first things on my list !!! Been crocheting since I was 7 and will be 66 next month, so pretty much my whole life has been filled with crochet !!! sharonclay2009@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteSnowflakes as my great grandmother used to make them for me and my family and now I can make them for everyone else
ReplyDeleteSnowflakes. I am just getting started but do enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteDoilies, definitely doilies! And sometimes snowflakes or angels! :)
ReplyDeleteHaha, this is thread holder such a great idea! When working with thread I usually have it right next to me bobbling about as I pull on for more, often lopping itself right onto the floor then gathering copious amounts of dog hair (we have 5 dogs and yes I vacuum often). My favorite projects being 3D angels.
ReplyDeleteI like to crochet mantillas with thread, although the tablecloth I'm working on is pretty cool, too!
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary!
Joy Niklas (also in Threadies group)
I am not the most ardent doily maker. BUT I love making miniature items. I have made 6 or 7 mini afghans for my doll house friends using one strand of embroidery floss and my Grandmothers lace crochet hook. Quite tedious.
ReplyDeleteI love this group! I have seen so many gorgeous items. Right now I'm working on a table runner (about 40 inches long when finished) of Santa Claus and 8 reindeer flying over pine trees. My favorite projects are small doilies that I make in sets for use as coasters. Thanks for everything you do.
ReplyDeleteGreat giveaway. I love making doll dresses out of thread.
ReplyDeleteTablecloths doilies and crinolines are what I love to make with thread.
ReplyDeleteIn looking at the prize, I can see where it would have been a Victorian paper holder but I think it has much great use as a thread holder. Absolutely love it and the Threadies. Happy Anniversary and thank you for the gift of the Facebook group.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE to make doilies, tablecloths, bedspreads, and especially CHALLENGING patterns- Can you say Trish K?!! LOVE HER DESIGNS!!
ReplyDeleteThe thread holder is beautiful and very practical as well! I love crocheting doilies from thread, and also enjoy smaller projects like bookmarks, Christmas ornaments, etc, that can be completed in a couple of hours.
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary Threadies. What a wonderful group. Even though I don't post often, I always tune in to see what others are creating. What a wonderful group of talented people we have in this group. I love seeing their creations. My favourite thing to make in thread are doilies. The colour combinations are endless. The themes are endless. I just recently discovered self striping thread, what a joy to work with it, and it is always a surprise to see the end product. They take on a personality that no one can duplicate........love those surprises. What a wonderful and generous gift you are prepared to give away.....love it....keep up the great work ladies in making this Facebook group a success, and that you to the creators!!!!!!! for giving us a place to show off our talent....
ReplyDeleteWhat a great prize! I love doilies the best because they are so beautifully delicate; I really love their symmetry
ReplyDeleteThese days I seem to make mostly doilies and Christmas decorations, but my favorite things to make with thread are Christening outfits and doll clothes. To my favorite thread designer, Ann, thank you for Threadies and Happy Anniversary!!
ReplyDeleteMandala thread Doilies! Thanks for the contest. Elizkeeler
ReplyDeleteDollies are my favorite, but I also really enjoy snowflakes and Angel ornaments.
ReplyDelete2 years & 8,005 members. That is really something to celebrate!
ReplyDeleteI learned to crochet making what Grandmother called dish rags. I recently found one of them and was surprised to see that it was actually done following a filet crochet pattern in thread. The pattern was on graph paper, that she had to have made from a lined tablet, was safety pinned to it and was dated Summer 1961 and my name printed on it. I would have been 7.
My favorite thing to crochet is what I call "3D" Doilies. Thank you for lovely designs. My first one was your Flower Garden Fairy Dolily. Thanks for the group Threadies. Laurie Locey
ReplyDeleteI love vintage things. That holder is to die for@!!
ReplyDeleteI love to do filet crochet with thread however my favorite doily to make is the Prairie star doily!
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, thank you for starting the group Threadies.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't crocheted with thread in a long time. I'm so happy
that I have gotten back into the craft.
I love crocheting doilies.
Doilies of course and large centrepieces! Happy Birthday Threadies! And it's my birthday too!
ReplyDeleteI'm just grateful being able to crochet anything, but to work in thread again is heavenly. Elizabeth, I love your blog and Threadies! Thank you for such a great place. ❤️
ReplyDeleteDoilies, runners and filet projects! I love being part of the Threadies, Happy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteDoilies, runners and filet projects! I love being part of the Threadies, Happy Birthday!
ReplyDeleteThank you for your hard work and dedication to this beautiful art. You are an inspiration to us all!! Happy Anniversary!!!! ~~ Kathleen Bock catwillow2@yahoo.com ~~
ReplyDeleteI'm so addicted to doilies! I'm working on one now for Christmas! Happy Anniversary! Mell Andre
ReplyDeleteMust say doilies, too! Since I joined this group and discovered the beauty of using colors other than white and mixing in varigated threads, the possibilities are endless. I enjoy making snowflakes this time of year also.
ReplyDeleteDoilies,then vintage looking potholes...I am Judy Starr Kalo on fb threaded....this is so nice of you to do..
ReplyDeleteDarn auto correct...potholders and fb threadies..lol
DeleteFirst of all, a huge thank you Elizabeth Ann White for forming & maintaining your facebook group Threadies! Absolutely the best group with the greatest members ever! Can't express my gratitude for all the inspiration I've gained here.
ReplyDeleteSecondly, another thank you for this contest. Besides the chance to win the holder, it's a wonderful opportunity to mingle with fellow Threadies.
I fell in love with thread crochet at a young age, and began making doilies & runners when I learned the craft. I've branched out to a few accessories & pieces of clothing in the last few seasons (& want to make some filet curtains), but always come back to doilies in between projects, so I must admit doilies are my favorite things to crochet. I use them throughout my home & they always make a great personalized gift for just about any occasion.
It's so difficult to name just one thing, but I would have to say named pieces for monumental events, like wedding dates, anniversaries, or baby births!
ReplyDeleteHummmmm. Favorite thing to crochet with thread....well I make more doilies than anything but have made a few tablecloths. Also Angels, ornaments and bowls. Thanks for the Threadies group. It's inspirational!
ReplyDeleteHaPpY AnNiVeRsArY
ReplyDeleteWhen I first saw someone post that they had gotten this thread holder, I fell in love. It a very nice thing for you to run this contest to celebrate. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI taught myself how to crochet at 8 years old. Today, crochet has become my stress reliever and anti-depressant after losing my husband and my job. I love to crochet large projects like tablecloths and bedspreads. It brings me joy to see these beautiful pieces come together and to see the faces of the recipients when presented to them. Thank you for the Threadies group, which allow me to connect to other crocheters around the world. Happy anniversary.
ReplyDeleteI like making coasters and sun catchers. They work up pretty quickly and can look so different depending on what colors you use! I was just wishing I had a thread holder, so that's a sweet giveaway.
ReplyDeleteI have been a Facebook group Threadies member almost since the beginning. It has been a lot of fun to see the group grow! I've watched many members' thread crochet blossom over time, to become outstanding works of art. My stitching has improved from the many tips shared by other members, and I have found some new-to-me designers to add to my favorites. I have also been able to share some of my favorite techniques. This group is the best for sharing and enabling each other, isn't it? One more bonus is that I have made some awesome friends in this group.
ReplyDeleteI am not entering the contest for that adorable thread holder, but wish the best of luck to each of you who are entering!
Happy Thread Crochet!!!
Rosina
I love to do doilies with thread, although, my all time favorite projects have been small doilies, stars, hearts etc. that have then been used as appliques on quilts. I have so enjoyed the Threadies group. It is a tremendous encouragement. Thanks for all you do!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the Theeadies group, so inspirational!
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary! This group with the beautiful photos everyone posts on FB has inspired me to do more thread crochet projects.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite thing to crochet with thread is whatever my brain, my hook and I can come up with. From doilies, to bedspreads,clothing, jewelry,
ReplyDeletetoys, shawls, it doesn't matter. What ever is on my hook is my current favorite. I love any thing made with thread.
Everything with thread, mostly doilies. Bonnie Niessen
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely prize! Thank you, Elizabeth, for holding this contest and especially for creating and administering Threadies!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite thing to crochet with thread is vintage doilies. I love keeping the patterns alive by making new ones!
Doilies, of course, but also angels and Easter eggs and table runners and ornaments and snowflakes and doll clothes and baskets and pillows and bookmarks and, well, you get the idea. Happy Anniversary Threadies!!
ReplyDeleteI love Irish Crochet Roses which is the first thing my Mom taught me after practicing just plain stitches. Of course doilies are right behind so I can put the roses on them. That is a gorgeous "thread holder". Thanks for the chance to win! and for having a wonderful group that teaches and inspires the threadie in all of us. Natureluvr57 a.k.a. Sandra D in Joliet
ReplyDeleteOooh...do I have to pick just one thing? I love making miniature versions of other things - I've used thread to make blankets, doilies, hats...I have a whole bunch of art dolls, so whatever I make is bound to fit someone! (Jeannine Haitch on facebook)
ReplyDeleteI love doilies and am a threadie at heart, was so excited to have found this group a year and a half ago, it has inspired me and taught me so much more (also a bit lighter in the $$ department) lol thank you for the group and congratulations!!
ReplyDeleteOoo, I love it. Thank you so much for the contest. I love the Facebook group and your website. Truly enjoying a community that loves using thread.
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary Threadies! Thank you for all your hard work starting Threadies and keeping it going! I love doilies, and motifs, and snowflakes,and.... :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary Threadies! Thank you for all your hard work starting Threadies and keeping it going! I love doilies, and motifs, and snowflakes,and.... :)
ReplyDeleteI love to make doilies! Then again I love doll clothes and flowers as well.
ReplyDeleteThank you for Threadies and Happy Anniversary
This is so very thoughtful of you. I love trying new doilies with thread. I haven't been doing it for too long so still learning and enjoying the results.
ReplyDeleteHi. This is Kitty Hoye Brewer. It would be such a blessing to win this contest. I learned to crochet using thread while still in high school. I would sit in class (right up front - got away with it cause I was teacher's pet, aka Miss Brown Nose), but when I picked up crocheting again (8 years later), it was with yarn and that's all I used in the past 45 years. I get so excited seeing all the beautiful things posted in Threadies that I am anxious to try thread again (have purchased tubs full in anticipation. Thank you for starting this group and for the chance for someone to win this lovely gift. Happy Anniversary Threadies.
ReplyDeleteTablecloths, the more complicated the better. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely doilies! I thought I was one of the few left that love to do this, came here and found out there was a bunch of us!
DeleteOOops....Forgot to mention that I have only crocheted doilies, but I think tablecloths will become my favorite. Tanks again Kitty Hoye Brewer
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary, Threadies! I love you all, so happy to be a part of the best group on Facebook!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite thing to crochet with thread is doilies. I love making doilies. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for the chance to win such a lovely prize.
Doilies, Doilies and oh yeah more doilies. Plan on making some Barbie clothes for my granddaughter.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite thing to crochet with thread are doilies....I am so happy to have found this group ...I feel like I am finally home after a long trip searching for others with the same interest as mine....thank you Bella....
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary, already 2 years, wow. I can't wait to get back to crocheting, been unable to for a couple of months now but getting better slowly but surely
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary. I love to make delicate doilies with thread.
ReplyDeleteThe yarnstand is lovely. :)
Since joining this group I have been so inspired that I have difficulty putting my hook down! My sincere Congratulations on reaching 8000 members; this is a wonderful group!
ReplyDeleteThanks again for a great group on Facebook and congratulations on the 2 year anniversary. My favorite things in thread are, like most, doilies.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite thing to crochet with thread is a "Challenge." Whether it is a doily, sculpture or amagurumi. I do love the Vintage doilies.
ReplyDeleteI love making doilies but I would like to learn how to crochet clothing with thread.
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary. This is a wonderful group to be part of.
How wonderful! I love Threadies, this blog; just a wonderful way to while away the time (when not crocheting, that is!). My very favorite item to make with thread is doilies. I was taught by my Memire at a very early age. I can remember sitting and watching her fingers fly as she made the most spectacular things. I was blessed when she passed to receive her threads, books, and hooks and every time I use them I am transported back to sitting on her green leather poofy stool, talking and laughing and learning crochet and drinking tea like the grown-up I thought I was at 8 years old. Thank you for all that you do to keep the art alive!
ReplyDeleteI started learning thread crochet as a child and my grandmom said, simply keep going around. Add or remove extra stitches as you go and there you have a pattern!
ReplyDeleteDoilies were and are my all time favourite. But, Threadies has turned me into an obsessive table topper fan! I looked at all the work here and with so much of experience and talent, I just couldn't stick on to doilies!! My best crochet work happened after I got here! And boy, my love just doubles! Happy Anniv!!
Doilies are great fun, but my favorite thing to make is a Christening Gown. I love seeing them on the baby at a baptism.
ReplyDeleteI like making logo's with thread.
ReplyDeleteWow, 2 years already!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love taking a standard afghan pattern and working it in thread. I think intricate patterns show up so well in thread!
Beautiful piece for holding thread. I love all kinds of thread crochet, but I thin my favorite thing to make is miniature toys, the most favorite are tiny jointed bears. I love the look on children's faces when they see them and realize their arms and legs move and they can make them stand, sit, etc. Toys are the most fun things to make and give!.
ReplyDeleteDoilies ...of course!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Threadies!
What a unique idea for this use Elizabeth ❤❤
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary #2
I am just learning to work (still) with Thread,I've made and frogged many a doily so far but am GOING to get it,I am!!
I have so many tops I want to make and I WILL😉
But I absolutely love you and your Admins and all the gals in Threadies❤❤❤❤
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY Threadies and thread lovers ;) I hate you all here... cause you talented people are the reason why I fell in love with thread crochet and have already downloaded soooooooooooo many patterns that I would need at least 50 years to complete... but that won't be possible cause the list grows everyday :p Love <3 My Favorite thread crochet are doilies and accessories:)
ReplyDeleteSo HAPPY your vision became a reality .... Found this group just after my Mom passed away ...What a lifesaver it has been for me ... LOVE making doilies for my loved ones (Family & Friends) ... Spreading the LOVE around ... Thank you for adding so much JOY to my life ... ❤ xo
ReplyDeleteLisa Milam .... (I can crochet ... I cannot type
DeleteLisa Milam ... I can crochet ...I CANNOT type
DeleteHappy Anniversary!! I love the thread holder! What a lovely idea to b celebrate! I had a regular thread holder,like the kind you see often, a holder on top with a draw to hold your hook when you put it away . I had to leave that behind when I moved back to India and I have never been able to b replace it. I work with both yarn and thread but thread makes my heart sing💞
ReplyDeleteDoilies are my absolute favorite. Have been crocheting them for 40+years.angels and snowflakes and bookmarks are next on the list.
ReplyDeleteI love everything with thread! Angels, Dolies, ornaments, and anything else you can make. My grandmother taught me 45 years ago and I loved it ever since. Thanks so much for the wonderful group we have!
ReplyDeleteI love Threadies on Facebook. I enjoy seeing all the pictures and information on patterns. I have been crocheting since 1973, my mom was showing my sister and I how to make granny squares. My sister got the hang I it right away. Me I couldn’t make it square I got mad and decided I would make something else so I went to WT Grants a department store in the area and found Coats & Clark book no.222 doilies. The first thing I ever crocheted was a doily, the one on the cover of that book. I was so proud of myself. I have been making doilies ever since. To me it is my stress release. Thank you for Threadies.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite thing about crochet thread is how beautiful it works up and everything looks vintage,l have many antiques that l love including doilys from the past and l often wonder about the maker her life and what she did.I hope one day someone else may wonder the same thing about my work the thread holder is beautiful and vintage looking xx Kerry
ReplyDeleteThreadies is one of my favourite Facebook groups, and I say this as a member of hundreds and admin of several very nice groups. It is warm, welcoming and a great place to learn. Thank you very much for making it what it is. I remember coming to your blog for a pattern and then reading about the 'new group' you'd started and promptly signing up!
ReplyDeleteSunayana Roy
Hi I'm Sherri and I love making all items with thread. But I really love doilies in all shapes and styles.
ReplyDeleteHi all, Consuelo here and I love all the inspiration from this wonderful group.
ReplyDeleteHi all, Consuelo here and I love all the inspiration from this wonderful group.
ReplyDeleteI love everything I crochet. I also love the group and how helpful everyone is. It's kinda like sitting on a front porch in the South with some sweet tea and cakes, chatting about stuff. Makes me miss my nanny!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite thing to crochet with thread is matching heirloom baby blanket, bonnet,booties and gown. Donna O'Neal
ReplyDeleteI learned to crochet for just one reason; to create doilies. I have crocheted well over a thousand and still never tire of them. There is something always challenging about creating with thread.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness...anything out the Magic Crochet magazines. You can find anything from doilies to umbrella patterns. Could you imagine the designs they'd print if it was still being published? It boggles the mind!
ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary Threadies. What a lovely prize.I am going to try my luck. I love making doilies with thread but recently have also been making dolls clothes.it is so versatile!
ReplyDeleteI love to crochet Christmas Doilies.i love the thread holder.
ReplyDeleteDoilies and Table Runners are my favorite things to crochet with thread! I've made so many doilies, and have given so many away, but I just can't stop! I love the "thread/toilet paper holder and hope I win! (Of course I'll use it for thread)! Thank you for the contest Elizabeth...hugs
ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary! I love crocheting bookmarks, doilies and jewelry.... I love crocheting with thread! :)
ReplyDeleteI love making anything for my 14 grandchildren.Happy anniversary Hope you have many many many more. Lora Arlene noyola
ReplyDeleteDoilies. I love making them and now that I have found your group and blog I am back crocheting more doilies.
ReplyDeletedoilies and tops!!!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is a doily or table runner. Just love how delicate they look.
ReplyDeleteIrish crochet pieces.
ReplyDeleteI love Threadies and your blog! I also love this crochet thread stand. I returned to my love of doilies when I joined Threadies and found a group of wonderful people to share my passion. I learned to crochet in my teens and started with doilies. Keep up the excellent work!
ReplyDeleteWhat is your favorite thing to crochet with thread?
ReplyDeleteI actually have two...Doilies and barefoot sandals (because they're like doily fractions 😍)
My absolutely favorite thing to crochet is doilies, especially pineapple ones. Unfortunately, I cannot crochet with the fine thread as much as I like due to nerve and muscle neuropathy that affects my arms and fingers. I still try to make them periodically. Takes me quite a bit longer to complete than when I was younger but still enjoy making them! Would love to win the bird stand to hold my cotton. Thank you for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteMy favourites in thread are square doilies, runners and Crinolines. I'm happy to be a part of ' Threadies'. Happy anniversary!
ReplyDeleteDoilies, doilies and more doilies. I like to think that I am caring on a family tradition with my crochet. My grandmother taught me when I was 10, I have loved it ever since. I have only been thread crocheting for a couple of years,and I instantly loved it. I joined your group when we were less that 2000. This is my first stop "after coffee" each morning. I love having coffee with friends. Thank you Ann and all the other admin for your hard work in making this the very BEST group on Facebook.
ReplyDeleteAnything and everything!
ReplyDeleteI crochet 3 rows around 1 yard square of baby flannel - or cotton lined with solid color flannel - to make crib blankets. I have made a few pineapple bookmarks and small doilies but my main focus is on the crib blankets. So many patterns and colors too choose from.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite thing to make with thread is a doily. Just to take thread, a hook and a pattern to make a beautiful item is very satifying.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful prize! My grandmother had one similar with a bear on the top. When she passed away however her son sold it instead of handing it down as she had requested. This group is awesome and I have seen some wonderful work and found lots of inspiration since joining! Happy Anniversary to all Threadies and here is to another productive and creative year.
ReplyDeleteDoilies hands down my favorite! I would so love to belong to the threadies group but for persona l reasons i cannot be on face book
ReplyDeleteI have been following you for many years! Deebriese@yahoo.com
My favorite thread item is doilies with overlay stitches done in multiple colors.
ReplyDeleteLove this! So elegant
ReplyDeleteLove this thread holder!
ReplyDeleteI love making doilies and summer hats
ReplyDeleteAnything , I just love thread
ReplyDeleteWhat an ingenious way to use this little bird as a thread holder..super group you got started...amazing work by everyone n such friendly n encouraging members..
ReplyDeleteI love doing doilies n skirts with thread..made 7 skirts already n still counting :) next on my list is a top and shawl for myself made out of yes thread...
Happy 2 n here's to many more years of threadies...
I like making jewelry and inserts for clothing with my thread! Thank you for the group nod this drawing!

I love to make doilies and table runners for gifts and the different seasons!
ReplyDeleteRita Swanson
Of corse crochet,but it works great for needle tatting also!! I've knit a shawl too with it
ReplyDeleteI wish you Happy Anniversary.
ReplyDeleteDoilies are my favorite as well. I really enjoy the Facebook group and seeing everyones work!
ReplyDeleteI've done doilies, coasters, a kitchen curtain valance and thread shrugs. and I've used a paper towel holder for my thread.
ReplyDeleteI began as a 7 year old crocheting with thread. It has always been my favorite form of art. It is so noce to be able to relax and look at the beautiful creations on Threadies.
ReplyDeleteDoilies, doilies, and more doilies! I've picked up crocheting again recently after a hiatus and remembered how much I enjoyed doilies. Now, I'm learning how to read charts and I must say, I wish I learned sooner! So much easier to follow! Hope I win that birdie holder!! :)
ReplyDeleteLove the "thread holder" and the Facebook site. I'm inspired to renew doily-making!
ReplyDeleteThere are so many things to crochet with thread! i love the typical doilies, applique, and amigurumi... but I think I look forward most to seeing what a blanket pattern will lok like in thread. There's just something about creating a small replica of a blanket out of thread that completely changes the tone of the finished piece. Thread allows each and every stitch to stand out, rather than become all blended together, as fuzzy yarn tends to do. :)
ReplyDeleteThe favorite item I love to crochet with thread is Angels, then I will give them to family and friends who are having difficulties. So I am always looking for new patterns to use and yes I have crochet the Christmas Angels you have on your site. Can't explain but I have a sense of peace and relaxing when crocheting Angels. Then I try to attach a note of encouragement. Thank you Elizabeth for all your hard work.

ReplyDeleteI love filet crochet...and doilies :)
ReplyDeleteDoilies, of course! I first started out crocheting afghans way back when and then I saw a doily on the back of one of my mom's chairs and as I gazed at the beauty of it, I wondered if I could crochet with thread, so I went to Michael's, bought a ball of thread and a doily book and that was it; I was hooked and still am!
ReplyDeleteThis would make crocheting with thread so much easier!
ReplyDeleteDoilies is all I have ever done with thread. Is there anything else?
ReplyDeleteIt is so very lovely.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this contest. My favorite thread projects are snowflakes. Love the "instant" gratification. ha ha
ReplyDeleteI love to crochet doilies the best therapy ever and the finished product is beautiful
ReplyDeleteSo many patterns...so little time!! My top item to crochet is doilies, using as many colors as possible! I love crocheting Mandala's. I started following Wink's work a year or so ago and just fell in love with all of the possible color combinations. These thread mandalas also inspired my daughter to begin making them with yarn. Wonderful! I also get to decrease my stash a bit (but if I find a good deal, the stash always goes up again...)!
ReplyDeleteHello & Happy Anniversay. I enjoy crocheting bracelets & necklaces, giving them to the little girls. They get so excited.
ReplyDeleteI love to crochet earrings with my thread the most. It is so relaxing and therapeutic after a long stressful day. But I also like making doilies with it too.
ReplyDeleteI love to make doilies and sometimes snowflakes or other items (ornaments, etc.)
ReplyDeleteDon't know if you need my email, but just in case...
simplejoys4@gmail.com
Well, it would be a tie between doilies and crochet thread jewelry. Since I must pick one, I'd have to go with doilies. I just love to see them develop as an complete rounds, and how it feels when they are done, and I see them, and can't believe "I did that!".
ReplyDeleteI have made everything from bikinis to curtains but my favorite is Christmas ornaments. Bells, angels, trees, stars, anything!
ReplyDeleteI love to use all my partial balls of thread to make bright colored bedspreads ... I have made two so far and have started on a third. Thanks for the opportunity to win this beautiful thread holder. Debbie Butler - Lo77203@twcny.rr.com

My favorite thing is baby dresses. I haven't done many, need a reason.....lol
ReplyDeleteI love to crochet doilies most of all. They challenge me and I like that.
ReplyDeleteVintage thread crocheted potholders are a passion and addiction for me. I love the old vintage doilies, but I can't seem to turn down those darn potholders and hope that the art of crocheting them as well as doilies, never fades from this earth. The thread holder is adorable, and if I don't win it, I wish the best to the crocheter who does. Pam Bates.
ReplyDeleteI love to Crochet Doilies with # 3 Thread. I enjoy seeing everyone's works in the Threadies Group.

ReplyDeleteI love making miniatures and currently started trying amigurumi objects in tiny size. Seems redundant, I know, but I like to see how small I can take something.

ReplyDeleteThank you for all you do for the Threadies group! I love your work and designs; I'm hooked! I have so many favorites that I love to crochet it is difficult for me to decide which is my favorite. Having said that, I love filet crochet whether it is a runner, curtains, chair sets; filet it is!
Hi, Ann Hines here, Happy Anniversary to us at Threadies. I love doing Filet crochet the best. But really love learning new things in crochet. Thank you, Ann, for all you do and share with all of us. You can find me on Threadies/Facebook Or on my email at": Ragdiann88@aol.com
ReplyDeleteHi, my name is Wanda Watson. I love making doilies the most but I like to make jewelry too.
ReplyDeleteI love making Doilies, and doll clothes with thread.
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary Threadies!!! I have a passion for doilies, I love them so much and drool over the post of them everyday, yet I have not made one. The first thing I made with thread was an Indian Doll set Man/Woman with bead work from a Leisure Arts booklet many many years ago. I still have that set of dolls and love the detail in the work. This year as I start slowing down at work I hope to start making doilies. I want a house full of them!!
ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary to the group. I love to crochet doilies. Great prize. Good luck to all the members.

I've done a small version of full-size afghans with interesting stitches. I find the thread provides better definition than yarn. Either that, or I'm just a glutton for punishment! Either way, Happy Anniversary!!
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome :) I love to crochet and wish I had more time for it! Having four jobs doesn't help. Oh well, happy anniversary!
ReplyDeleteI am really not sure what I like to crochet in thread I am just beginning.
ReplyDeleteI have done a doily so far. It was much easier than I thought it would be. I was very afraid. But not so much anymore. Happy Anniversary!
I'm new to Thread Crochet. I am soooo addicted!! Thanks to your blog, I was lucky finish the Peppermint Doily, and am now browsing your blod for my next project. Thank you!!

ReplyDeleteI love doilies best of all! My last project was actually a huge circular shawl that I adapted from a doily pattern. After spending 10 months on that, I'm having a hard time in deciding what to make next. It'll probably be another doily...LOL!
ReplyDeleteI love making filet crochet with of course steel needles, antique preferably, and the super thread holder would save me from chasing the thread across the room chased by the cat..

I learned to crochet with thread many, many years ago! Just miles & miles of chains before my mom was happy with my tension. Doilies are still a favorite although I get involved with table cloths & bed spreads every so often.
ReplyDeleteG. Arias
I love your patterns! I just finished the Peppermint doily! And my favorite is anything new to try!!
ReplyDeleteI love making angels from thread.
ReplyDeleteFiadhnat
Dollies....doilies...and more doilies!! I'm always seeing just one more that I want to make. Most of them are given away to people that appreciate the love that went into making them, which gives me a blessing.
ReplyDeleteDoilies is my passion.

ReplyDeleteI love to make doilies and I use them all over my house. I am currently working on a popcorn stitch bedspread. advice to all - don't wait till you are 65 to start our bedspread! It's my start and stop project, Ive made other things while I am working on it. I sure would love to win that cute thread holder since my projects are done in my living room and it is just so darn cute!!! Barbara Morgan from Florida
ReplyDeleteI would use it to crochet dolls.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful thread holder Ann!

I am addicted to making doilies. Even though I do not have space for very many that does not stop me. This thread holder is beautiful.
ReplyDeleteMy fav thing to crochet is vintage everything because after so many generations are gone, the lifestyles forgotten as well. Maybe my doilies will be antiques years from now to inspire and keep this art alive. Maria thomas
