    Well, you all have finally corrupted me!! I have been on this site for months and have thus far been able to resist all the temptations yoy have thrown at me. Until tonight that is!! I was bored, a bit down and needed some retail therapy. I figured it wouldn't hurt to look and see what everyone was talking about so I went to the site. Big mistake!! I immediately fell in love with the "Sip of Summer" collection! I had to order the fq sampler because I couldn't decide which ones I liked best. I want to make a Turning 20 in the future and think these would be perfect!! I also bought a tablerunner kit and a spool of thread. I wanted to buy more thread, but thought I'd try it first and see what I thought of it. Can't beat the price...so might as well. I've also been looking at some stuff on e-bay, but they have a day or two left on them. I already have one kit I purchased the other day, plus all my other WIP's, so this will just add to the pile. I do feel better though..now I just have to tell my dh!! He'll just smile and nod and go clean his guns!!

    Connecting Threads is really addictive. When I first started quilting about 15 yrs ago this was my favorite place. I really got great deals on books and tools there. This is where I purchased most of my stuff from.

    OOHHH...I just loved the "Just Ducky" pattern!! I wanted that one and a few others but I had to restrain myself....for now. When taxes come back, there will be a huge jump in the local LQS economy!! I'm even considering a new machine. I might have to give dh CPR if I do. We'll see what happens. When I get my order, I'll post for all to see!

    I just saw the new fabric called After Hours. I love it. I'm so tempted... but I can't buy anything right now. I just purchased a bunch of fabrics from Hancock of Purducah.

    Yes, CT has gotten a lot of my $$$$ as well. :D I really LOVE their threads. I have every color they sell! And large cones, too! I'm a thread-aholic of theirs, LOL! Have also bought a lot of their quilt kits.
