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 a tree with multicolored lights, and use ones that have the multi-display options-usually set to slow-fade of individual colors. Anal? you bet. I would have to go with the neutral threads :) heartsease54 cnd2821@blackfoot.net
We have one tree with clear globes and decorated traditional and the other has colored lights and decorated gold and purple! total contrast. Either thread kit would get used here :o) Thank you for the chance.
I am more traditional in my decorating, not as much into the snow themed Christmas things as we are in the middle of summer! I would love a chance to win the vintage threads. Wendy xx
I am definitely a follower!
I like all styles of Christmas decorating, but if I had to pick just one, it would be traditional, with home made ornaments. I like the vintage threads.
Love the look of the vintage threads. I like to go with a modern theme, with pinks, purples, blues,lighter greens and silver rather than the heavier looking reds, greens, and golds.
I'm a traditional as far as Christmas decorating goes, & particulary treasure the homeamde ornaments my daughter made when she was much younger. With the threads, I'm more of a neutral fan. Thanks for a lovely giveaway.
I'm a new follower, thanks again.
I am more of a bright colors girl. As for the threads I prefer the vintage collection!
I like traditional and would like the neutral pack of threads

I love the vintage threads. I have a couple of quilts that are in the vintage colors. thanks for the chance.
I would have to say bright fabrics and the vintage threads (since I don't seem to have many of those in my collection).
... and I'm now a follower. Thank you for joining the blog hop!
Brights!!! For the past several years my holiday decorations have been lime green & fuchsia.
I like both traditional and bright Christmas fabrics. If I'm lucky enough to win, I'd like the vintage thread pack. Thanks for the giveaway.
I'm a new follower. Thanks for the great giveaway (vintage thread pack if you choose me, yea!).
Usually use multi coloured strands of lights, but have a lot of blue decorations for the tree and around the house. Probably not traditional, but love the colour blue. Colour thread selection is probably vintage. Thanks for the chance to win.
I love the vintage colors--so fun! I also love to just finish a project without having to run out for thread. :)
I definitely go for brights, but I was given the most amazing vintage Christmas fabrics and am making a quilt with them now (just got all the pieces for the 20 sampler blocks cut & organized), so I'd love the vintage threads.
I became a follower :) (and subscribed thru RSS Google Reader)

I love them both but tend to use the vintage colors more. For decorating, bright.
I think I sew more with brights.. but they are both so awesome it is hard to choose.

I'm a traditional fabric kinda girl when it comes to Christmas. I want colors that are warm and cozy feeling. As for the threads, I'd choose the neutral threads. Thank you for the chance to win.
Oh i am not help i think both look great...lol As for the threads i would be happy with either..lol
For Christmas I prefer bright... but for the thread I prefer the vintage as I have no colour threads LOL

I always used to work with bright colors, and I still love them. But last years I prefer reproduction fabrics as much as well, for my dear Jane and home sweet home (blackbird design) for example.
Loveley give away you have here, thank you, I like to give it a change. I love your vintage treads!
I am in the bloghop party as a participant as well, so you might visit my blog and maybe join my give away too,
Hmmm, I like both but probably lean towards brights. As for thread colour, I'd love the traditional please. Thanks for the giveaway!
Either. I would love to try these as Connecting Threads wont ship internationally. Thanks for the chance.
Thank you for the giveaway. Would love to win the neutral set. We have a small tree with white lights and colorful decorations.
I am now a follower.
Hi. I love multicolor lights, and more traditional colors like rich reds and greens, creams and golds in my fabrics, but also love blue and white and snowflakes. I would love the traditional colors of threads, though. Thanks for the giveaway, and LOVE your ornaments. Merry Christmas!
I prefer traditional Christmas colors. I would love Vintage colored threads if I should win. Thanks for the giveaway!

Great post! I think for thread, I would prefer traditional, but I love bright colors more as a whole.
I am a new follower!
I am a new follower! I like both and have both in my home, the smaller tree is usually just red lights but I have been influenced by fabric colours this year so I will have multicoloured lights and red, apple green and turquoise decorations on it - the big tree will be more traditional! I think with what I have in the works the neutral thread would be more of use to me - Thanks for the giveaway!
I'm a follower!
I like all colors. Sometimes I like brights and sometimes I'm a little more traditional. It kind of depends on my mood. I would want the vintage thread because I am such a color addict.
I love traditional colors and love the vintage threads! Thanks for the chance to win...I always need thread and this looks great!
I tend to go for the traditional colors cause they go with my decor but I am loving some of the new bright combos. Wish I had grandkids so I could use those fun fabrics in kids Christmas quilts. Hopefully someday soon. I'd go for the neutral threads.
I'm very, very traditional. Maybe it's my age :) but I love vintage anything. And I'm totally into all white lights on a Christmas tree and on the mantle and on the house and on anything not moving! blessings, marlene
I like the brights, and i'm more of a neutrals threads

I love traditional for Christmas ,I do like a tree with allwhitelights buy not my hubby.
Bright lights...but would love the neutral thread.
I love bright & colorful. I just started embroidering again - it is so relaxing. I'd prefer the vintage colors if I win by either is fine. Thanks for the chance.
I love bright colors but would rather work with traditional, and while i like the vintage palette very very much, I would rather work with neutrals. Hmm, I am sounding very conservative! Anyway, thank you for a great giveaway.
I like more traditional Christmas fabric colors. I prefer the vintage thread colors -- love this thread!

I like to sew with bright colors. I like the bundle that has the blue & purple.
I like traditional and would love the neutral set.
I love brights, and I would be grateful for either pack of thread. I pray you have a blessed Christmas.
I love the brights and would love to win the vintage thread set...
Our tree is very eclectic atm - I used to collect red/gold decorations before I had children, now that I have a 3 & 5 year old we have an increasing collection of homemade & photo decorations and I've also "inherited" a lot of decorations from my aunt and my mum when they downsized to smaller trees.
I think I will need to sit down after Christmas and have a bit or a sort through and organise the decorations.. there are a few that I think I can probably cull now that I have quite the collection! I do love home made decorations though - there's something super special about the sentiment they invoke when you hang them.
Our lights are plain white, but have pretty swirly star shaped plastic lanterny covers that look really gorgeous.

I like bright colors, and I think too for christmas stuff, but then again I sometimes go more traditional for christmas quilts. the last two christmas quilts I made were a table runner that was a modern pattern but a traditional fabric, another large lap quilt was more of a traditional pattern but with new more modern fabrics..... and for my tree, well we have TWO, the large one(both fake- GASP!) has white lights and the kids decorated that with their decorations, the smaller one was prelit with colored lights, which I don't prefer, but oh well, and then I just used gold and red ornaments on it.... so... as you can see I go both ways. for most quilts I love BRIGHTS.... the threads, hmm I would use these for piecing I think, maybe machine applique too, so the brighter one is more functional I guess, but for piecing the neutral is great....if I win, you PICK!
I more prefer traditional..and I loves vintage :)
New follower!
Thx for the chance to win ^^v
Definitely brights...and I prefer the neutrals. Thanks for a chance to win!
I prefer white lights. I have such a variety of ornaments that it's nice for the lights to be calm; since the ornaments are so very varied!!! lol
I have several spools of neutral colored threads right now, so I would prefer the set of vintage colored threads. Thanks for offering such wonderful prizes! You are so very kind! :)
I prefer Traditional decorating. If I am a lucky winner, I would prefer the neutrals.
Merry Xmas! Sandy. :)

I'm a new follower :) the "today's psalm" was one I have had in mind all day :)
I love CT threads - more of a traditional set would fill in the thread box as I seem to have an abundance of brights. Love your give away.
i am traditional and share your thoughts on having thread ready to go! i like either prize package, thank you for a chance.
It depends on the mood I'm in but most of the time traditional is more my type. I'd love to win the neutral thread kit; thanks for the chance!

I like traditional and some brighters. (LOVE that stack you've got up there!!!) I don't go for the Christmas trends in pinks or 70s-reminiscent olives. But I do love some blue thrown in!
I like both traditional and brights! I have both white and color lights. Each year is a different mood so I am ready. I have been thinking about putting up two trees.
I like the neutral shades! I have heard such good reports about Connecting Threads. Such a nice giveaway! Thank you for the chance to win!
I am a new follower. Invitation to consider, come by my blog and join. I have signed up for the Free Motion Quilting 2012 Challenge too. I am sooo looking forward to it!
I like bright colors but I would choose the vintage threads because they look like colors that I don't have so they would add variety to my thread stash.
I love white lights on my tree and I would use the neutral threads more - I love the Essential Threads.

Bright fabrics and vintage thread - an unusual combination?
I love the vintage set of threads but I love brights more than traditional colours in my patchworking and sewing.

Prefer traditional and vintage. Good match right?
Oh I would love the vintage thread pack. I usually like brights when it comes to anything, but Christmas I am perfectly ok with the muted golds and reds. Since Christmas is filled with traditions it just seems appropriate sometimes!

I am a new follower #90 Hop over to Missouri and enter my blog giveaways
Definitely traditional and vintage thank you
I'm a new follower I love brights!!
but as far as thread goes, I'm more of a neutrals kinda girl.
I am a traditional type person so that is the style for me and vintage colors... one day I might get bold for me but for now I send the brights to the girls for their holiday decorating...
I love shopping @ Connecting Threads - their shipping to Canada is reasonable, and I love their thread - I have royal blue in my Singer 411 right now, working on Christmas gifts, lol. I like fun multi-coloured lights, bright fabrics, and could put either of those colour ranges to good use, but I think I would lean towards the vintage colours :) Thank you for a lovely giveaway!
I love the Connecting Threads site and I have bought from them a few times. I never have enough traditional threads - Thanks for the chance to win such nice threads.

The neutral kit is perfect for the project I have on my mind :) I think I like traditional, but sometimes I long for something else ;)
I like bright and colourful, and I prefer the vintage threads.
sweatereyes.hotmail.co.uk
I like traditional and bright actually, but for long term neutral is more my style. I have never tried Connecting Threads before and now am curious. Either pack would be great, but if I had to choose 1 I guess it would be the neutrals so I could see how it is for piecing.
Am now a follower - great blog!
I like the neutral thread collection - thanks!
I can always use more neutrals. Love this thread. I like all the traditional colors on my tree. They are all in my head, so why not on the tree.

Traditional and vintage describe my likes in a very good way. Guess I'm just an old-fashioned girl at heart!
I'm a traditional girl, we've had trees with multiple colored lights and trees with only white lights. It can go either way depending on the year. As for the wonderful thread giveaway either set would be a happy suprise. ;->
