Finding Fabulous on Friday

Instant gratification with thread ...

although I've been on a granny square kick as of late I do take a bit of time here and there for some thread crochet.  Little doilies and coasters are a wonderful break from yarn and quickly produce a treasure to be enjoyed.

I'm thinking of making sets of four of a few of these to have on hand as holiday hostess gifts.


Speaking of my granny addiction ...
look what I found at Stitch of Love ...
are the color combos amazing?  So colorful and bright and what a wonderful stash buster.  You can find the link for the pattern at Stitch of Love and while there see her own lovely creations.









Welcome to the Weekend and a bit of cooler weather.
Blessings,

  4. You're right about those squares. They are lovely and would be great for stash busting. Why do you do this to me? First get me looking at even MORE granny squares and then throw in some cute little thread creations as well? My to-do list just keeps growing and growing. You are a true inspiration.

  5. Love the doilies! I am afraid that they would be too fiddly for me to attempt?

  9. Hey there, Glor. A set of doilies as a hostess gift sounds like a wonderful idea. They work up so quickly and are so very pretty. I love all the ones you have displayed here. Sure wish we could say things were cooler over here, but that won't happen for at least another 4 months. Have a great weekend. Tammy
