Welcome to the The Blog Hop Party with Give Aways. I think this is such a fun time of year to have a blog hop with great things to win. I love Christmas. I wait all year long for it. I start listening to Christmas music the end of October (really September, but some of you might think that is odd). So, my question to you is, how does color influence you during this season?
Do you prefer trees with all white lights (or a single color like red, blue, or green) or trees with multicolored lights?
When you start thinking about a seasonal quilt do you choose brighter fabrics...
Or more traditional.
I love both, I decorate two trees and pretty much everything in between...
For my give away I have two Connecting Threads Essential Thread kits to give away.
One is a neutral kit, the other is a vintage kit. I think it is always so nice to be able to just sit down and start sewing rather than having to run to purchase thread. I will ship internationally so don't let that stop you from commenting. There are two ways to enter...
1. Leave a comment telling me whether you prefer traditional or brights and which thread kit you would like, neutral or vintage.
2. Become a follower of my blog and leave another comment. (If you are already a follower just leave an additional comment stating that).
Please make sure I am able to contact you via email if you are the winner. Remember, the blog hop is open from midnight tonight until December 17, but you can start commenting here now. Make sure you go here to see what other fun things there are to win! Happy Stitching!! --Kristen

I prefer traditional and neutral. Thanks for the opportunity
I love bright fabrics. Its funny I am drawn to neutrals but feel the most inspired by brights.
The thread I use the most of is neutrals.
Merry Christmas to you and your family.
I love both the traditional and the brights, can't pick one or the other. I love that crazy color, the wilder the better, but love the classic traditional as well. I would go with the neutrals threads, I use the neutrals on everything.
I definitely prefer brights :-) I would love the vintage package :-) Thank you for the opportunity to win!
I like brights but could really use these tread sets. lnb1191(at)aol(dot)com
Hi, I love bright colors this time of year.but I like traditional colors also. Happy Holiday to You and Yours.
I also follow thank you
I love the brights, all of new colors people are using for Chistmas are wonderful. I would like the neutrals, but they both have great colors.
Love the neutral pack of thread and prefer traditional, although sometimes I'm into brights. Thanks for the great giveaway and Merry Christmas! Kd
I'm a new follower as WeimerMom. You know, now that I look at it the bright Christmas fabrics are gorgeous. Thank you! Kd
Traditional, neutral.
I prefer brights and I would love to win the neutral package. Thanks for the giveaway.
Yes, I believe our seasons of the year are associated with specific colors. White would be for snow; fall colors would be your reds, oranges, yellows and brown; Chrismas would be red, green and white. I love red for the holidays. So bold and pretty. My tree is white, white lights and lots of red ornaments and red flowers. Your gift is very thoughtful and useful. I would choose the neutral kit becaause this would blend with any chosen fabric. I wish you a Merry Christmas.

Brights
Neutrals
I am a follower! Love all your projects...I think I could spend a LONG time looking at all your blog posts!
Having to choose one I would say traditional. But probably give brights a chance. If I won I would love to add the vintage package to my collection.
I like traditional and brights mixed together. I actually dislike the all single color Christmas trees and the ones with themes...nothing against them, but I like our tree with multicolored lights and all our special motley collection of ornaments. I would love the vintage thread. Thanks for the giveaway!

"Tradition" hehehehe I'm hearing the Fiddler on the Roof song in my head...it must be the hour that I'm trying to post on your blog! The neutral threads would be so fun to win. Thank you for such a wonderful give-away. mamahen02@msn.com
"Tradition" .... I'm hearing Fiddler on the Roof in my head .. it must have something to do with the hour I'm trying to post to your blog. I love the neutral threads and I really love purchasing from Connecting Threads. mamahen02@msn.com
I like all white lights and would prefer the neutral threads.
Right now I lean toward the traditional and I would love the vintage threads. Thanks for the giveaway.
I will be following you.
Those brights are very nice and since I have a ton of neutrals the brights would be a nice change.
I am a new follower, thanks for the chance!
I tend to buy traditional, but like brights, too. I think I would choose the vintage thread set, but I am very easy to please :-) Thanks so much for the giveaway chance. Happy Holidays!
I like brights and like the neutral pack. Thanks for a chance.

For Christmas I am drawn to decorate in the jewel tones, I love the rich colors (not so bright): golds, deep reds & forest greens. Merry Christmas!
Loves the vintage kit.
I follow you now
Thanks for the sweet giveaway - I'd go for the neutrals!
And I like bright fabrics :D

I like traditional and brights!
For Christmas - I think traditional - it get's the point across - no one has to think about what you are "saying" with your fabric.
And - neutrals in the thread.
What does that mean? Does it mean I am stuck in a box?
O h w e l l lll
There is safety in the box, but some day I may try to step one foot out and see what it feels like.
<:-)
Traditional and vintage is calling my name! You are so sweet to think of everything needed to have some thread fun, thank-you so much!
Colour is so subjective and I can lean either way. I find it is helpful to have defined boundaries however and work in a colour framework in order to keep focused!
I think I prefer brights over traditional and I like both thread sets but would probably pick the vintage one. Thanks!
Either thread would be wonderful-thanks for a chance to win.
Thanks,

Vintage all the way baby!
I prefer traditional holiday colors and would love either thread pack. Thanks
I am your newest follower!
I am a brights person and if I could pick would probably go for the neutrals in the thread although both would be good to have in my collection.

I like traditional and neutral thread. Thanks for the giveaway; I'm really enjoying the hop and visiting new blogs!
I'm very opinionated when it comes to Christmas decorations, definitely only white lights, though I'm happy to go with traditional or clean modern decor - as long as it's not gaudy. I lived in Germany for a year and their decorations were spot on for me - it felt like the perfect place to enjoy the holidays.
I'm completely torn between the neutrals and the vintage, they're both great.
I like the brights for quilts but the neutral thread. I also like the white lights for Christmas.
I am also a follower and Merry Christmas!
I am a traditionalist when it comes to Christmas, and I love the white lights, so elegant looking, quiet and serene. I would so love the neutral colors.
I love any color scheme for Christmas--although looking around my house I guess I lean a little towards traditional. Lots of red and green, although I bought some decorations this year that are lime green and fuschia, with some turquoise thrown in! I would love either thread collection but would probably use the neutrals more frequently. Thanks for the opportunity!
...and I'm a follower! Thanks again.

I hope this giveaway's still open! I like bright colors. The vintage thread looks fun. Thanks for hosting. acbrown28 at gmail dot com
Now I follow you on Google Reader. Thanks! acbrown28 at gmail dot com
I am more of a traditional colour person but I have of late been daring and bought a few brights to make a few quilts for little ones...the neutral colours look like they would blend in well with what I usually do...
I'm a more traditional quilter but either package would be great.

Good Question. We used to do everything traditional with a green tree, lots of silver, red, gold to go with it. One year we were on vacation staying in a condo. It had lots of room for the two of us, but we were having company. So we bought a narrow but tall white tree with white lights. We decorated it in white and silver. Now that is my favorite.
I would love the traditional colored threads.
