I've had great service from Connecting Threads. I just bought some quilt books during their recent 40% off sale and got free shipping as the order was over $50. Even before that, I, who do not usually buy kits, bought some of their samplers. The fabric in the kits was good quality and sewed well. I don't have any complaints about the company as I believe they give good service, have good prices, and good products.

Anyway, let me know what you think.

I just ordered the sampler of the 2.5" strips of Batiks (78 fabrics). I already had about 16 of the Mirage blenders. I think they are both very nice. Send me you snail mail address and I will send you a sample package.

Now I have a better machine & use better fabric to make quilts for the love of learning.Every block, every seam is different.They go together to make a whole.Then I'm off & running to start a different quilt.The learning is what I love.
The basics are the same regardless of the equipment or fabric used.JMO
I agree with you justme2. I love the learning process, and am always looking for something new to try.

I just received my first "batch" of connecting threads fabric. I would say that by the way it feels and how it washed, it is better quality than Joannes and for the price, (half of what a quilt shop charges), a value that is worth considering.

I am still learning all the time. I have found that it doesn't seem to matter where or how much you pay, there are fabrics that ravel no matter what. I am making a quilt with all fabrics from my LQS. 2 of them ravel - one does not. I am also making a baby quilt from fabric from Mexico (100% US cotton), a piece from LQS and another piece give to me by a friend and none of them ravel. Really nice to work with no ravels!! I have not ordered from CT but there are a couple of kits that are of interest in their new catalog.
