Oh Yes, and I just love it. Gives me something to look forward to. Im waiting on 2 now. One from Keepsake Quilting and 1 from Shabby Fabrics. I love shopping at quilt shops on line!!

Whew! I was afraid I was the only one (well, I should say "we" because DH keeps the various delivery services pretty busy, too)... LOL! I get something at least once a week. But I, too, try (notice I said "try") to get stuff that's on sale (like the daily deal at MO Star). Right now there are 4 Bali Pop collections at Beverly's (on sale! A really good sale at that) that are haunting my dreams so looks like pretty soon I'll be having a package from her, too. Right now I'm waiting on shirtings from Whittles & a "double the charm" from MO Star (why is it called "double the charm" when it's really 4X the charm since the pieces are 5" X 22" & you can get 4 charms out of each strip???). I haven't ordered from Keepsake in a while so I need to so my catalogs keep coming (probably more shirtings) & the same with HoP (some Moda batiks, I think). Plus there's some goodies at CT, so no worries about the delivery services around here needing to look around for work... LOL!

The other day a package came, DH brought it in to me & said "Here's more fabric for you to drool over"... LOL!

I have all my packages delivered to me here at work because there have been some shenanigans at the condo complex where I live, and some folks have had things stolen off their decks. The mailroom guys here must be thinking I've gotten a promotion or a raise...LOL... nope, I'm just heading to the quilters' poorhouse!! But I will have some lovely company there... the rest of you!!

Not only will we be there in debtor's prison with you, we'll bring fabric & chocolate & have a party! Woo hoo! Sewing circle in cell block 6!!!

I just got my first package from Connecting Threads. It won't be my last! I also drooled over the Bali pops at Beverly's. Several of them are begging to come live at my house!

Aren't you impressed with CT? I love their stuff & think they have really good service, too! Are the Bali Pops too yummy for words?

Sewing circle in cell block 6 - I love it! You guys are a hoot.

And Dawn, I bought my QuiltCut2 from somebody on Sew Its For Sale, and boy she gave me an awesome deal!

I am doing 3 BOMs that come every month. I also order lots of quilting things on line so I get packages pretty often. Right now I am on vacation. I put in the zip code here in my quilt store finder and will be checking out quilt shops tomorrow. The items I purchase, I'll take home with me. I have been good about using the quilting supplies I purchase. It is fun getting quilting supplies in the mail!

I got another package today! The dry iron I ordered. I had forgotten I ordered it and it was a real surprise. This will be one of the donated door prizes for my guild's quilt retreat. I love my dry iron and under $25 it was the best value for an unexpected prize for a quilter. I'm excited to see which member wins it!

Some of those Bali Pops are living at my house already! They're just as lovely in person as I hoped they'd be. If I wasn't already a foot in the door of the quilter's poorhouse there'd be a lot more of them here!

I get boxes alllll the time. Fabric.com, red rock threads, joann's, Beverly's, connecting threads... lots of online fabric/quilting places have been helping me spend my paycheck lately! I just got my latest statements though and the quilter's poorhouse thing is looking a little bit less like a joke! I think I need to spend more time sewing and less time shopping! BUT all that shopping means I have everything I need for the next 4 quilts on my "to make before Christmas" list, so I have plenty to keep me busy!
