Ooooh, that's a great price! I believe I have ordered from them before and had no problems!


my philosophy: there are no real mistakes in quilting, just design opportunities!!

I clicked on one and found out that the price is for a 1/2 yard. Talk about deceptive.

Their batiks are very pretty but Connecting Threads has theirs on sale for $6.96 a YARD. I've never bought from this place.

That 1/2 yard price did seem offputing when I looked later. Connecting Threads does have beautiful stuff. I've got the 'quilter's lament" though...gotta use up what I have...don't even know what I'm using it for, so why collect more!!??

What a place for beautiful batiks. The ones that look like sunshine caught my eye. I do need batik for backing but will try to keep from buying. Thank you enabler.

I'm sort of happy to find this place 'cause I used up two of my larger batik pieces making my siggy blocks for the COF swap. Just have mainly fat quarters left of the batiks. Thanks for sharing this site with us!

I like to buy from connection threads also. If you watch, sometimes you can get them for about $5.00 a yard. I bought some backing fabric a couple weeks ago and paid less than $4.00 a yard.
