    Just wanted to let you know about a recent order had from this place:

    http://www.connectingthreads.com/quilting+fabric.html

    Prompt service... I am in Canada... and I didn't get hit with customs!

    I was very happy with the quality of the fabric, though the colours were off a little from the website.

    I bought a bunch of fat quarters from their clearance page. Some were just 89cents each! Their regular price is 5.96 a yard so I though that was a good price. I got 55 fat quarters and with shipping and handling GST and customs it was 80.00 CAD.

    I also like how they group their fabrics in collections so you can buy knowing that the fabrics are coordinated.

    I ordered thread from them a while back and was quite happy with it. Were the shipping charges reasonable?

    I have ordered from them several times and have always been so happy with my order. Their fabric prices are great and their kits are wonderful.

    Ruth, I was curious about the postage because she's in Canada as am I, and sometimes we get charged ridiculous amounts in postage when ordering from the US. I was hoping that wasn't the case here as they do have some really lovely fabrics etc.

    Ruth is right... Connecting Threads charges what the postoffice charges them. They don't do a money grab like some companies do!
