I agree, Martina. I haven't been perfect, but much better than last year. I think it's all the encouragement we've been providing each other. Last year the 2014 thread closed out at 941 posts. This year, slightly more than half way thru, we already have 944 posts of support (and slips!).
I just placed an order with CT. Needed some specific thread. Last year I would have added on a few extras to bring it up to $50 for free shipping. I stopped at the 3 spools of thread, and shipping was only $3.50. I've also decided against going to the AQS show in Grand Rapids. I really do like looking at the quilts, but I also succumb to a small spending spree.
