WOW!!! Check out the new Batik paradise collections from Connecting Threads!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

http://www.connectingthreads.com/Bat...ise_CD117.html

They are awesome!

Saw them earlier. Really nice.

I saw them in an email but I quickly deleted it. They are so pretty but no buying for me.

I did the same! Saving all my money for the retreat in May!

Thou shalt be good. Thou shalt be good...

Beautiful fabric! I love the colors. Wonderful how much fabric is too much? Maybe among quilters there is no "too much fabric." I have not seen this collection before.

OMGosh I got the email and all 4 sets are just beautiful and only $41.00 a bundle for the fat quarters, I'm trying to decide if I need them $160. worth :lol: :lol: :lol:

I'm still holding out. Not going back to look, not going back to look,....

They are beautiful!

They are just so lusious (sp?) looking!!

They are, I would love to be able to touch them.

Still drooling...I'm fighting it too...trying to justify them...trying to be strong! Unfortunately, I'm weakening!!

That's exactly what I just said to hubby when I showed them to him, and he said well order them and when they get here you can touch them all you want!! I'm still debating though, but it is my birthday next week!!

If I had an offer like that, I'll already have the order placed!!!

I decided I am going to wait till morning and see if I still feel like I need them really bad. Oh no it is 12 oclock here I guess it is morning!

Gorgeous! I just bought a bunch of Stonehenge so I will have to wait on these. Are they good quality batiks?

I have not ordered batiks from connecting threads, but am seriously considering these.

I love them!

They are so lovely :mrgreen: , no no I don't want them, but I sometimes tell a white lie . :roll:

I did the same thing!!

beautiful

I saw them too! I went to the site. I looked and looked. I ended up buying $50 in thread, also irresistible. Having just spent 12 days on a state wide shop hop I just can not justify buying more fabric! But I didn't buy any thread on the hop, LOL!!

I looked and sighed. I am in the process of using all my hoarded batiks in a "It's Good to Be Square" and I am reluctant to part with all of them. I am using some Stonehenge which really is not a true batik, it is printed, but has some beautiful subtle streaks, making great texture and I needed more nondescript backgound colors. The Stonehenge also frays a lot, so I would suggest starching well before cutting. So, I hate not having hoards of batiks in my stash, but no more ordering right now. No, you cannot have any more at this time. No, don't be looking at the fat quarter bundles again. No, no, no.

If my DH said buy it, I would order it right away. No second thoughts.

Gorgeous! Just perfect for making stained glass windows!

THEY ARE GORGEOUS. I MAY HAVE TO INDULGE JUST A LITTLE. BUT THIS AGAIN GOT ME THINKING ABOUT THE COST OF FABRIC. HOW IS IT THAT CONNECTING THREADS CAN GET BEAUTIFUL BATIKS FROM INDONESIA AND SELL THEM FOR LESS THEN $7.00 PER YARD, AND THE OTHER FABRIC MANUFACTURERS/DISTRIBUTERS HAVE TO CHARGE AN AVERAGE OF $11.00 AND UP? EVEN VERY CHEAP, FLIMSY FEELING BATIKS AT JOANNE'S ARE OVER $12.00 A YARD. JUST MAKES NO SENSE TO ME, AND STRENGTHENS MY INCLINATION THAT FABRIC AND OR COTTON PRICES, SORT OF LIKE GAS PRICES, ARE BEING ARTIFICALLY MANIPULATED UPWARDS.

Me, too! Although I was tempted to check out the link on this thread and I did! But, I didn't buy. I sure do like the new batiks!

Oh, I know!!!! I am trying to ignore them. I LOVE batiks and those are just beyond awesome. I am trying not to buy new for a while, but am weakening real fast. :roll:

You may be responsible for my credit debt escalating! ROFLOL! They certainly have some pretty ones. I ordered some out of the sale section and just got them a few days ago - nice! Thanks for sharing.

I ordered a bunch of FQs in the new batiks and am very pleased with the colors, patterns and quality of the fabrics.

Beautiful!

Awesome

OMG!! I just checked it out! I definitely want some but I have to decide on a project first; thinking maybe some bag or something a little smaller so I can squeeze a "finished" project in between my other WIP'S. !!

Love the colors

Oh dear, I HAD to check them out . . . . now I see what you were so excited about!! Thanks for sharing . . . . I think!! My mind is already thinking about which ones I can use!!

OH YES - THEY ARE BEAUTIES. Actually I'm waiting on a delivery (today or tomorrow) of some of the "Waterway" charm pack - plan to do a sm. lap quilt for a friend, Linda, who is in the OK Cancer Center having treatments. Will just tie this one, as hand quilting will take longer than I'd like to be able to finish it for her.

(Prayers for her & her wonderful caregiver hubby would be appreciated)

Have a blessed day & may all your quilts be filled w/love.

I saw those and was going to place an order but Mozilla Firefox said their order site was not secure, so now I am debating.

Those are beautiful!! Very Tempting!! Am I weakening???
