On my doorstep...

Connecting Threads purchase - cyber Monday sale - 50% off
I got almost 100 fq's for 50 dollars.

They're very soft, they have a slight sheen to them, and I know I will make good use of them. Kona cottons appear to be slightly thicker.
I will report back on the sewing side of the fabric when I get to it. For now they are mine...uh... well, they're actually dh's, because he's wrapping them up and gifting them to me.
He has the easiest job ever...seriously. I even shop for myself to help him out at Christmas.

I know a few anonymous people from my original post asking about CT were not thrilled with the fabric quality, but when I read AmandaJean's post a few days later, I read all of the comments about their thoughts about CT and most were pretty positive, so I thought for 50 dollars, I'd take a gamble on this amazing sale.

I wish I knew who the anonymous people were. Why are you anonymous? I truly value your opinion, and when you are anonymous, it makes me feel like we have a secret relationship. I start to fantasize about this....maybe Martha Stewart really IS reading my blog. Maybe it's some uber cool european designer waiting to pounce on my talents.
...Maybe it's John Travolta....oh that's a different fantasy.

  1. HAHA! I think your husband should wrap up John Travolta and put him under the tree... heh, heh, heh! Although, I might prefer the fabric. Yes, I am THAT sick.

    They look gorgeous all together like that. I could totally eat them. I don't know how you can let him wrap them!!!

    OT- Do your kids like to pet your fabric? Mine would be really into these ones.

  2. That's a lot of color for $50! I'll be interested to see another review once you've started working with them (fondling them doesn't count!).

  3. LOL. This was too funny. I just got a serger yesterday. Husband helped me open the box. I don't think he'll be re-wrapping anything...

    I'll be interested in your assessment of the fabric. But it sure is pretty in that picture!
