But, there have been a few that surprised me, and were actually more popular than the main pattern that they came with. Such was the case with "Gothic Lace."

I have written before about how the members of the Threadies Facebook group inspire me. But of all the gorgeous items posted in the group, I would have to say that those created by Elizabeth Sabo are my favorite. She has created some of the most beautiful doilies I have ever seen and her use of color is amazing. A while back she modified one of my designs to create a bookmark.

At the time, I was asked to use a product called Liquid Beadz on the leaves. This product just added a beaded effect to the leaves, but I think they are just as lovely without it.

One of the reasons I love the Facebook group Threadies so much is that it gives me the opportunity to meet and get to know other crocheters and designers better. Carol Thompson-Coolbeth was one of the first folks to join the group when it was started a couple of years ago. I loved her lovely, colorful doilies, and was impressed when I learned that she designed many of them herself.

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!
