Ok someone tell me NOT to buy fabric on the connecting threads website sale. I need a good reason! I put the fabric in my cart and thought I could use the book that I bought day before yesterday to make a quilt...but I can get all the fabric I need to make TWO quilts for 50 dollars.....what do you think!!??
|
DONT DO IT (you might like it and we know how BAD that can be)
|
You don't want to know what I think! I think I need to order more from there. I stocked up on fabric for backing and all the fat quarter sample packs on sale. I bought thread and several kits and lots of yardage. I have enough to make all the quilts I know I'll make this next year, God willin' and the crick don't rise.
|
Wait there are fat quarter sample packs!????

Is that connectingthreads.com??
LOL |
I always check the web specials under kits. The fat quarter and fat eight samplers are usually reduced 30% to 40% when listed there.
Sign up for the newsletter and every Wed. the weekly web special changes. |
How can I talk you out of it if I can't resist myself. I love buying from there.
|
I can't talk you out of it. In fact, all this talk about Connecting Threads (my favorite online store) is making me go to that site right now. BBL ...
|
HAHA I had not been there before tonight now im like HECK YA LOL
|
Mom, you will love this site. You get to "peek" inside books at Connecting Threads. They have great stuff! Um, I just might be shopping there now ...
|
I can't talk you out of it as I ordered from there not too long ago and got some great backing fabric! Also if you do buy try CHARM as a discount code. I don't know if it will still work or not but it takes like 15% off the order I think.
Hugs April (ooo I was supposed to stop you not try and talk you in to buying it lol) |
Update-the CHARM code no longer works :-(
Hugs April |
awww bummer. I looked at the fat packs but none are on closeout... thats ok tho lots of other things are muwahaha
|
I think you're on the wrong site!!!!! Love Connecting Threads. Even with the exchange rate, and shipping still a good deal for us up here in Canada. So needless to say I can't talk you out of anything!!!!
|
LOL. Yes that is true we all enable each other lol. :)
|
I myself wouldn't buy anything from them today. Only because I got a rather large squishy from them delivered this morning. :lol: :lol: :lol: (The fabrics are awesome)
|
LOL. Yes that is true we all enable each other lol. :)
|
Me, enable...no way! :lol: It is a good sale, though.
|
Squishy's are awesome! Dont they just make your whole day!
|
I can't help you out. I just bought fabric there for the first time last week and am eagerly awaiting the arrival. Everyone says they have really good fabric so am soon to find out. I do know their thread is really good. OOPS!!
not what you wanted to hear. |
LOL Jaycee! They really do have good stuff there.

I love that place. That is the only place I will buy my thread. It's cheaper even with shipping than what it costs to drive to Joann's 3 miles away, and by thread.
Good Luck on being talked OUT of buying there. hee hee |
So did you do it?
|
My experience is that CT fabric is not the best of quality and their thread is not the quality I want to spend time putting into a quilt.
|
If you really like it, reallllly like it and it is a good price go for it! It might not be there long. Learned the hard way.
|
i can't say a thing i just spent $50 myself lol
|
I can't tell you not to buy fabric. I just came from Walmart and got alot of fabric at half price and christmas fabric was marked down to about 60 cents a yard.Bad news is they are closing out their fabric. Now all I need is more thread.And connecting threads is the best place I know to go.
|
I see that they have two new collections on their site today as well, Cheep Talk and Sip of Summer (although not on sale yet of course.). I have two orders coming, I ordered them on around the 10th of Dec so I'm hoping they will be here soon! I am really curious to see what the quality is like as well.

I am going back to walmart this weekend. I am hoping all there fabric isn't all gone.But with it being half price there probably won't be anything.It doesn't hurt to look.

I gave in and bought 17 yards and it arrived and one is nicer than the next. I have purchased other items before from Connecting Threads but this was my first time ordering fabric from them but it won't be my last. MaryJane |
