got my CT books today!
Oh such great books at great prices! Thank you to our CT enabler who brought this sale to our attention!!!! Big Grin

One of my favorite things about these books is that they are all the same size and fit so beautifullin my shelves, making them look automatically tidy!!! Smile

That is fast, Nancy! The website said four to six weeks, I'm sure after the huge response that they had last year.

Even though I ordered last year, I didn't receive and e-mail about this years' sale. Not sure why that is . . .

Will be looking forward to my big shipment Smile.

I missed out on this sale too! Probably for the better though! Glad you got yours though! So, how soon will we see all the new quilts that you will be making?!!

ETA: I didn't get an email either Lisa. I wonder how we will find out about the next one?

C&T Publishing ( www.ctpub.com )last year had an unbelievable sale on their books...famous quilting author's books for prices like $3 and $5 each. I think I got 8 books last year for about $24! It was such a success for them (and us happy recipients) that they did it again this year. I got 3 Barbara Brackman books for $3/each this year...

Some wonderful enabler on this board alerted us again...thank you so much!!! Big Grin

I had a look and they have great books but the shipping costs to Europe are insane ($ 12.00 for first item and $ 3.00 for each additional item) so I didn't order.

I'm away from home right now, but can't wait to get the books I ordered. Thanks for the heads up Gives me something else to look forward to upon my return. At $2 and $3, they were cheaper than a magazine! And since I'm in charge of door prizes for our guild, I'll donate a few as prizes.

C&T didn't email me either, but because I subscribe to The Quilt Show I got a newsletter from them about the sale. They didn't give any advance warning though. As soon as I saw it I posted on this board. I'm sorry everyone didn't see it, but I'm glad that those of you who did are enjoying your books. I am too. If I remember correctly they have this sale in the fall and spring and it only lasts for one weekend. Unfortunately I didn't check my email until late that Saturday afternoon. It is really amazing that they can offer the books at such discounts, but I'm glad that they do! If and when I hear about another sale I'll post and let everyone know about it.

I just killed morning. Eek My books arrived and I stopped everything to open the box and it was like that December morning. I looked at all of them then sat back and browsed. I can't believe I got some of these for only $2. or $3. Big Grin

Please send out an enabler alert the next time they have a sale. Sounds like you all did good.

I still haven't received my books. Did they send an email first to state that the order was ready to ship? (In addition to the order confirmation they sent in mid-April.)

Mine still haven't arrived Frown, but they should be here tomorrow Big Grin. The shipping notice was sent by e-mail while we were out of town.

Can't wait to start looking through my books!
