tell me what your favorite color is - (not necessarily what I have here) - but the favorite embroidery thread color that you have or want to have - one that you would want something stitched out of - if you were given a chance to say - I WANT THAT COLOR!

BUT... You never mentioned what colour YOU like Shirlene!!
by tinfriend 12 Sep 2008
Forgot to say I also LOVE all those pretty colorful Angels too! LOL
by shirlener88 12 Sep 2008
Wendy, of coarse it helps - I was just wondering what others liked - just want color you would want to have of all the colors of emboridery thread.

Sandie/tinfriend, I adore peach and teal of all colors. Hehehe!
by tinfriend 12 Sep 2008
Teal is also nice - don't mind peach But Blue in every shade is BEST! LOL
by persiancatlover 12 Sep 2008
i like the dark pink
by persiancatlover 12 Sep 2008
verry beautifull these angels you did a great job making them
by sanjoy51 12 Sep 2008
Shirlene, I love the Blues, Teal,Green,Purple,Mauves and Pinks. But I am picky on the shades. I love bright colours and I really love the Electric Blue, Teal and Rainbows. I also love the varigated cottons. You could say I love all the bright colours and mint green but not the drab colours. They are boring but sometimes you need them to make the other colours look better. This is too hard to pick just one.
by colonies1 12 Sep 2008
I love alll your angels but I think I like the the light yellow? on the end.
by colonies1 12 Sep 2008
That light one on the end would look ever so nice on a tree I think.

This angel was never to be the focus on this question - just the use of many colors - to show the different colors of embroidery thread in one picture - however - because it has been asked over and over again - this is a Criswell design from the set '814 K-Lace for Christmas' - http://www.criswell-emb.com/frontpage/collections/collections2.html

Personally I love the color green. When I was a kid there was a candy jingle and all I remember from it is "and love is green and green is love and love is all around" I have been a green fanatic ever since.
In embroidery threads I want them ALL, again that comes from my limited supply of thread and my even more limited supply of $$$ lol

Lately I have become fond of pastel yellow, green and lavender. But that is because these are the colors we use to tell the triplets apart. I have a steady supply of those colors I use for the girls. I personally am a Blue person. I love all shades of blue and tend to wear blue almost exclusively. It's my favorite for decor too. When we remodeled our kitchen the whole thing was designed around the blue corian countertops that I picked out first!!!

Yes Maryio, I am the same, most of all my clothes are blue but I am trying to add some other colours for a change. I made curtains for the lounge and of course I wanted something different and bright so I have striped curtains of perisian blue,teal and yellow with thinner stripes of gold. They look great and two years later I found a carpet square to match. It was worth the wait to find it.

Your angles are beautiful. I realize you also had to wind bobbins in each color. My favorite color is purple and my favorite flower is the purple iris. I loved purple since high school. I had a matching purple sweater and skirt. Later I had brief spells with red, aqua and even earth tones. My husband hated purple, and after the divorce, I made my full swing back to purple. I also have a passion for Amethyst jewelry which was dangerous while I worked in a jewelry store for 10 yrs. after I retired.

My favourite colour is a shade of blue that looks purple in certain lights. It looks blue, but put it next to a real blue and it looks purple. However all your angels look lovely, I have difficulty deciding which colours look best for fsl. I usually end stitching out several different colours also.

Had a nice, long family weekend and returned home half an hour ago. Put a load of towels in the washing machine and then came here. Favourite colour: definitely BLUE, from the palest to the darkest navy, for clothes, in the kitchen, the tiles in the toilet, you name it. For embroidery a washed out sky blue or a light lavender(which - I know - is not exactly blue..)

took me a while to answer this, and its difficult to answer lol. for clothes I would definitely say peacock blue is my absolute favourite. when it comes to decor I am a big fan of blue and white china but then again I try to decorate according to the season so at the moment oranges, reds and browns dominate our apartment decorations! guess I'm a little bit way too complicated loool and when it comes to embroidery for myself I guess I would go to peacock blue again, I simply love that colour.

My fave's are always bright, bold colors in cool tones. Hard to pick just one so here are a few of my fave's: fusia, bright blue, and teal.

BTW, you're angels are GORGEOUS! Good job! I have never atempted this technique before....I think they call it FSL? I don't even know what that stands for - LOL!
1 comment
by shirlener88 30 Jun 2009
Rita, those are each pretty colors - thank you - the ANGELS are FSL (free standing lace) that means that it is stitched on WSS (water soluble stabilizer) and you use the same color thread in the top and the bobbin - you rinse out the WSS after completing the design - all that is left is the thread - that becomes the ANGEL. Try it - you might like it, too.

I received my 116 spools of Metro thread last week - and I just marvel at the colors .... no two colors are alike ... can you imagine 116 spools ... I am like a little kid with a huge box of crayons!!!!* By the way, your angels are beautiful!!!!*

Red, Red & more Red! I have an obsession with red roses and when I can not figure out what design to put on something... it is going to be a red rose in some shape or form. Most everything I have done for myself has been roses or some type of flowers or an indian design with alot of peach,teal, and coral. I am stuck in a rut! I did Paint my white and cream Pekingese on a T-Shirt a couple of yrs ago but it has been washed a million times. I need to refresh the paint.Of course that is my all-time favorite! Red is my vote!

Shirlene, I just found this question from 12 Sept 2008 as I was changing settings. This is a very hard question, as to me it would be the same as asking, "Which is your favorite child?". I love so many colours, but there are certain blues that I would not pick. Lyn Mar 26 2011

I love all the bright colors, but no blues or reds.
I do have 4 favorite colors and when asked which is my fav. I have a hard time picking just one.
I start with purple, green, yellow & orange. There are so many beautiful colors it's hard to pick one.

I see that your post from long ago has resurfaced. This is a fun question. There is no doubt that I'm an all shades of purple/fuchsia/blues/reds oriented person when choosing my favorite colors. It's still really just too hard to choose a specific color when the Lord created such a spectacular spectrum of colors on this amazing world we live in. The colors of your angles would make choosing a favorite color real hard. They are all stitched with a beautiful color.

I love the the "true" basic colors, the first eight you would see in a childs box of crayons.

My favorites change every few years, growing up my favorite was blue, reason, because I had dark hair with a darker complection than all my blonde haired lighter skinned sisters who look great in pastels that look horrible on me. Blue was the only color my mother would buy for clothes that I liked to wear. I am the oldest of 8 and grew up in the era of hand me downs, and since they are blonde mom looked at what looked best on them, lol.

Bright colors not pastels, and not alot of the weird names that ome out for colors that don't give you a clue to what color it really is. For example what color is "applique"? Its a color brother uses, but I haven't a clue what color it is, lol!And WHY??? use that word as a color for embroidery???

My new favorite color about two years ago was "el-el-oh" my youngest granddaughters way of saying yellow, lol!

Now I'm into true purple and hot pink. And for me on black backgrounds in fabircs I quilt, lol.

to use in quilts....yellow and purple with green (my guild won't let me pick out challenge fabric anymore as I always have to choose some type of yellow.)
but in the colors of the beautiful angels you have made.....white or a ivory white would have to be my choice....
in colors for a room.....a blue or green
in colors for a car metallic blue or cranberry
in colors....nay....don't think you need to know that one.....lol......

Well, that question is just as pertinent today as it was then. I really love the lighter vibrant peacock colours, followed by primary blues and reds and secondary purples. Faced with a whole range of colours and told to choose one I think my hand would instinctively go to a vibrant peacock greeny-blue colour.
That's a tough question, Shirlene.
