Threads of Love
This unique ministry spreads joy from the loving handiwork of caring volunteers. A variety of cute and useful items are sewn, crocheted, and knitted for newborns, infants, children of all ages, adults, the elderly, and even pets!
Our Projects
Threads of Love has blessed many organizations with an assortment of beautiful, hand-made items.
We have crafted items for local churches (Riverbend, Travis Heights Christian Outreach, Iglesia Reconciliacion de Austin) and churches abroad (in Mexico and El Salvador).
We have blessed organizations that cater to the impoverished in Austin (Woven Blessings Boutique, Mobile Loaves and Fishes) and even overseas (Dolls of Hope, Little Dresses for Africa).
We love serving organizations that embrace a broad spectrum of our neighbors (Any Baby Can, Dell Children’s Hospital, Age of Central Texas, Marbridge Foundation) and we even support our furry friends (Austin Humane Society, Austin Pets Alive!)
What We Love About Threads of Love
"Service has been a part of my life for years. Being able to make, provide or give something to those in need is heartwarming and very fulfilling. It doesn’t take much to put a smile on another person’s face when they receive our finished items." ~ Carol Robertson
