    I was looking at a few different web sites for a tonga rapsody BOM kit and was just wondering if any of you have every ordered from tomorrowsquilts.com or rivercity quilts.com? I'm looking at numerous sites and these 2 sites have the kits a lot cheaper that some of the other sites that I have found the kit on so I'm how they can do it so much cheaper.

    Thanks for your help

    http://www.rivercityquilts.com/kits/...a-rhapsody.cfm
    This kit comes out to $234 (kit + backing + pattern)

    And here the whole shebang is $290:

    That compares to $336 here:

    The shop/site (rivercity) looks great. I've never ordered from them before. You save a ton on shipping.

    One of the other stores was selling it for $19/month plus $10/month shipping. Yikes!
    So that's $29 for the 1st month, plus 11 months @19, plus $10/month shipping = $338.

    If you like the pattern and kit, I'd grab it at that price from RiverCity.

    Maybe they're just looking to move it OUT. These days, cash in hand is better than a full priced product sitting on the shelf.

    I haven't used either but be sure you are comparing the exact same thing when shopping around. River City's does NOT include the pattern - that was $25 more.

    I have ordered from River City. I don't remember what I ordered, but I'm sure the service was good. I would remember if the service was bad!

    I have bought from River City and been happy, but I have never bought a kit.
