Like many of you I like Connecting Threads. I also am quite pleased with Red Rock Threads
http://www.redrockthreads.com/
One of my favorite places to buy fabrics is Batiks Etcetera and Sew What Fabric, located in Wytheville, Va. They specialize in batiks, but they do have other fabrics. I've been dealing with these people, both in person and online for over 20 years now, and they are both knowledgeable and helpful. Shipment is prompt and prices are fair.

Love fatquartershop.com and it's not just for FQs. It has new fabric lines soon after they are released.
Also have ordered from equilter.com - which send out weekly emails about new fabric and current sales - hav bought lots of panels and baby/toddler fabrics for chsrity quilts here.
Also use Hancocks of Paducah.

i love comnnecting threads! great fabric and the kits are fantastic! you don't have to purchase a pattern extra and they give you more than enough fabric so even if you goof up you can still make a lovely item/quilt. I've had enough left over to make a small quilt when i was done with the larger one. Like getting my money's worth!

Fabrics.com has been very good for me as well. They even ship it via the postal service for me - I had BIG problems with UPS not leaving my packages and sending them back to the sender!!!! So, when I order fabric I call and have it shipped via USPS - they don't charge me any extra for it either.

Showing coordinates is something that we go out of our way to do. We've actually put the fabrics next to each other, to be sure that they work well together. It's what you would do if you were shopping in person, right?
We don't just show you coordinates from the same collection; we include fabrics from any of the three dozen brands we carry, if they are compatible, both in color and visual "texture".

You're quite right, Ghostrider, that is definitely the most fun part of my job! It's less stressful than choosing what to order for the shop.
Funny thing is, I can look at a new fabric that I think doesn't have many "friends" and unexpectedly find a dozen or so fabrics that it goes perfectly with.
For instance... Friday we got a box of FQs of Benartex's Harvest Reflections group, and in it was a terra-cotta-rust colored woodgrain. I "took it for a walk" through the shelves and found so many fabrics that it goes with, that now I'll HAVE to order that one too!
Ok, maybe it's TOO much fun... :wink: (And yes, I have other much more boring tasks too...)
