I got all this for $38!! And digging separately we spent the same amount. I was amazed at how many people were there and how friendly and cooperative they were on a really hot day.

It was an "event" and I got an email announcing it. I drove, Bonnie directed, so I have no idea where it was. :lol: Actually, it was a warehouse area behind a business on the eastside, we waited in a LOOONNNG line, were fed in in groups and cautioned to keep the noise down. Then we waited in another long line to have our fabric weighed and another line to pay. It was fun! My orders from them have had a Vancouver address but I think they have only an internet store. I did see on QB they had a warehouse sale in Ohio.

Exactly what is a hot day in Washington....we've had 100 deg plus here in Ga for a 90 day stretch.....
Wish I could find similar deal here in this area !

A hot day in Washington is several days of mid to upper 90's in September after a dreary, cool summer. 100 in Washington is "OMG is it hot!" I lived in Louisiana so I feel your pain.

Wow, is right! I think it's probably a good thing there isn't one of those warehouses close to me - I'd be broke!! (and my house would be FILLED with fabric!! :thumbup:

Just a heads up ... this was a SPECIAL EVENT at Connecting Threads ... they normally don't have fabric at the headquarters.

They also had yarn from Knit Picks there too!
