Another One Bites the Dust.....

Thanks to all the Bloggers out there in blogland...you made my day yesterday! I had tons of mail confirming that yes, indeed, there are actually people out there reading this ( Just like in the movie Julia/Julie! Who knew....) A BIG thank you to my new BFFs, Marilyn and Anna, who told me about Material Obsession 2 AND that I can get Material Obsession #1 on Sale from Connecting Threads at 40% off! Yippee, so I ordered it, plus some batting and 20 fat quarters! Their prices are SO good!
Check it out! http://www.connectingthreads.com/Quilting.cfm

I have ordered from Connecting Threads several times before and they always have good prices, lovely fabric and delivery (for me) was in about 10 days. (]They send you emails letting you know where your parcel is.)
This is what the book Material Obsession 2 looks like. Can’t wait to get my hands on this one, too!

The August Challenge Up-date-I have almost finished my scalloped wall hanging/table cloth- I just need to hand-stitch the binding down on the back! Such a good feeling to finish it! AND I love it! It really is nicer ‘in real life’!  It’s the scallops that make it sing.

    I really do like Connecting Threads - there thread is very nice quality and very reasonably priced - you get a neutral set of 8 spools ( 1100 yards) for around 16 dollars- I have never found it cheaper here in Canada. The batting is a good deal though you could order from sew sister in Toronto until August 21 ( I think) with free shipping (google sew sisters to find the link) They have very nice clearance fabrics too.
    I am looking forward to seeing the second Material Obsession book as well.
    You are speeding along with your quilting- I need to get going again- I seem to have lots my drive and am running out of time before school starts.
    Your new quilt is really lovely...
    Happy Quilting and Shopping,
    Regards,
    Anna
