I just got my newest CT cat. Wow. They now have solids, blenders, and batiks. The blenders they call mirage. Great price too. $3.96 for Bl. and Mirage, and $5.96 for batiks. Large selection of colors too.

Whoo-hoo! I just received mine too! Lots of cool stuff. :thumbup:

Haven't got Connecting Threads yet but I got KeepSake Quilting. Call me crazy but I save them to thumb through even though I can go online and see the same thing.

I keep them to look at just like quilting books. I even get an inspiration now and them of something I want to make, or something to incorporate into a next quiltl, whether or not I order anything from the catalog.

I drooled over mine when it came. I want to order more from them.

has any one ever ordered yardage from them i ordered i thought 4 yards and it was like 2 yards or less?? the don't measure the same as everyone else i guess its not 36 by 40/45 is it

I felt so left out after I read this thread. I don't get the Connecting Thread catalog-----but I will now. I just signed up for it. I did get the KeepSake Quilting Catalog. I'm calling it my wish book. I "wish" I could get everything in it.

Did you check your order to make sure you had ordered 4 yards and were charged for 4 yards? If so, then they may have made a mistake in the cutting. Measurements are the same for everyone. Common fabric width is 42". One yard is 36". You can measure how much was cut by measuring from one cut to the other cut. (Width would be measured selvedge to selvedge.) If you ordered 4 yards and got less than 4 yards, you should contact their customer service department.

Some companies sell by the 1/2-yard, in which case I need to be very careful to double-check how much I am ordering. However, I just went to the Connecting Threads website and they sell by the yard.

this has happened before and i went to their site to look at my order history and i couldn't find it

i will be more careful in the future

I just got the Keepsake Quilting magazine also.....drool, drool. I have to hold myself back. I have so many UFO's and WIP's and specific fabric for projects. Does any one else have the problem of keep on buying when there is still projects to be done? It drives me crazy! As I drool once again over the Bali Pops page....

yes!! every time something goes on sale i buy,, i have box's unopened because it i open them my priority's change and i will have a mess.
although i do cheat sometimes. oh deb postage in the mail today. thanks.

I have signed up for Keepsake Quilting catalog so many times and have never received one. I would love to get one, the ladis in my quilt group get them all the time. :(
Maybe Connecting threads will send me one. I'll go sign up for theirs.

I think I'm addicted to buying fabric...anything I like. I buy with no specific project in mind. A quilting friend of mine buys fab. she fancies. She has so much fabric she forgets, or can't find, a specific one once she gets a project in her head. She has a utility-outdoor building ordered so she can get out of the tiny sewing room she's been working out of. Her husband and she will get this all together to make it her quilter's cave. They have it all designed. How neat is that?

Yes, me too! I keep one in my purse, to look through when away from home and just sitting and waiting.

I had to hide the CT catalog from myself. I looked through it, drooled... drooled some more... I really am loving the new blender materials. I am going to bring it to my sewing group on Saturday and see if we can get an order started up. I love their thread. It's all I use now.

Yes, I got my Connecting Threads catalog today and I always buy fabric when I have tons already. It is such a serious problem to have and I'm not able to fix it.

Did you check you email inbox? Most companies will email you a copy of your order. Unless you are much better at cleaning out your inbox than I am, it will still be in there. Just do a search on connecting and you should find it. (Also check junk mail.)

i have the same "problem" it a problem for my pocket book not for me when i get a delivery my husband brings it to me and he says "the ups man was here and i don't know what this is but it must be yours" or "what did you order now" i just say or it's just fabric like it's nothing and he walks away
i guess you had to be there it's not a problem it's an addictions thats all!! better this than something illegal right??lol

your write i ordered wrong 4 means one yard
4 2338 * Jazz-Multi @ $1.49 = $5.96

oops

I got my Connecting threads Catalog the other day and OMG, I want one of each! I have some many things planned and bought for already, but it is so tempting.

I was really impressed with this one, actually like a few of the kits they are offering this time.

I have ordered from them several times and I really like their fabric and their thread! It is great! I have only had a chance to go through the catalog that I received today once so far......not my usual 10-12! LOL!

I found a lot in the Keepsake Quilting cattie that I liked too! Oh, decisions decisions!!! :?

Oooh didn't know this was available. I'm gonna go sign up to get it now. Thanks guys!

I do the exact same thing! Those quilt catalogs are great reference material!

You should contact customer service. They will correct it for you, they are really good about that sort of thing. Check your invoice to make sure you paid for 4 yards though. Yes they do measure the same as everybody else, your order just got messed up.

Really excited about the new fabrics in the CT catalogue. I think someone is getting really smart in carrying fabrics we all need at such a good price. (blenders, etc.) :thumbup:

Got my keepsake catalog yesterday. All the prettystuff! I already have soooooo many half done projects! But that probably won't deter me from buying more.

I love their shipping boxes. They are just the right size to use for Christmas present boxes or mailings. I have MANY of them saved.

Hm. Guess I'll have to dig mine out of the recycling bin.

How can I get a Connecting Threads Catalog? I am a new quilter and am open to anything that involves quilting. THANKS

You fill out a form on their website to receive the catalog.

Go to connectingthreads.com and they have a place there on the website to sign up for the catalog. Same with Keepsake Quilting.

Oh, and if you have never ordered from Fat Quarter Shop, they are great too! And fabulous boxes that they use for mailing!!

:thumbup:

go to there site and there is a place on there you can request a catalog

do you really want to start looking at there stuff it's addicting LOL LOL i promise but if your smart go to the sale or clearance page the discontinued the fabric often so it can be as low as 3.00 the draw back is it may sell out before it goes on sale they only make a limited amount.happy quilting

I got both catalog's. And I won't call you crazy because I have saved a Keepsake catalog for over 20 years. Even if you can't order from it, it still gives lots of ideas.

I'm with you QuiltsRfun. Thumbing thru them when I am looking to make a new quilt and am not sure of which color scheme, or pattern I want to work on or just because I need a quilt fix, lol.

Go to their website and sign up for catalog.
It's worh it, you might buy something, but looking at the ideas is the best part.

Me too!

You need to check out Quilt in a day.com. They have "Fabric Frenzie" for about $3.75 per yard and alot of selections. I ordered a bunch just today for a Bargellow quilt pattern. What a bargain. Sophie

I've tried repeatedly to order a catalog, but the link must be broken. I fill out the form and click on the button but absolutely NOTHING happens. Too bad, I'd just love to see one.

shop on line and see what they have i will let them know it's broken.
