Lots of sales and specials going on from online quilting resource Connecting Threads. Here is some of what's happening:
As you are probably aware, Connecting Threads is an online retail shop specializing in a wide variety of sewing and quilting related items including notions,thread, batting, and patterns. They carry a wide variety of fabrics and specialize in producing their own in-house fabric collections which can then be marketed directly to the public at a much lower price point.
They specialize in carrying quilting basics - called Quilter's Candy - in a wide variety of colors and options such as solids, prints and flannels some starting as low as $3.56 a yard. Among their newest basics are 15 new shades of the Chambray prints (above).
Also new in stock is an expanded selection of 104" wide backing yardage. Who doesn't love not having to piece a quilt back? These extra wide options are available for only $11.96 a yard. A big savings on backing!
Connecting Threads also has a bunch of sales going on right now including: 40% off of a variety of quilting tools such as rulers, cutting mats and tools. Sale ends Feb 8.
Also on sale right now 40% off ALL quilting books! And they have a huge variety. So if you've had an eye on a particularly quilting book or are just looking for some new inspiration, now's a good time to stock up!
Finally, all Hobb's batting is 30% off. So a good chance to stock up there too. Hobbs batting comes in a variety of options including 100% cotton, cotton poly blends and wool.
So if you're looking to stock up on some quilting basics and staples, be sure to check Connecting Threads for lots of options.

I love the great sales at Connecting Threads! I especially watch for their sales on books, but I have bought fabrics, kits, gift items, and notions too. Some of them will be traveling to Utah with me next week. 🙂

Love the look of their products, but their shipping policies are not very Hawaii-friendly … which is too bad

I love these guys and their shipping to Canada is fair, and usually fast. (for us).

I get a lot of sewing done to audio books!!! (weeding in the summer also)
For my string work instead of paper I use a very lightweight and inexpensive (read cheap and on sale) interfacing. Then I don't have to pull the paper out.

Looked at the shop, found great fabrics an sadly had to find out that they don`t ship to Europe. Maybe I will remember to order there before my next visit to the US, but I would have loved to get those great extra wide backing fabric sooner (we don`t get nice ones of those here in Germany).
