I took advantage of Connecting Threads‘ Black Monday online fabric sales and purchased 79+ fat quarters for less than $50!!! That’s only 63¢ each for excellent, high quality fabric. I can’t beat that price even for lower quality fabric on eBay®. SCORE!!
Naturally because the order was made during peak online sale period, Connecting Threads warned there may be a little delay in shipping. They had no idea our area’s major shipping hub would be iced in for days. Because of Mother Nature, the order took 13 calendar days to arrive but since I have no explicit plans for this fabric, it didn’t matter. I love every piece of it!!
It took 3 days to wash, iron, fold and pet all of it. I’m also thrilled that Connecting Threads includes the bolt ends with each bundle. BONUS! One of the ends is barely short of being a complete fat quarter and several more are fat eighth size… all free! My PHAT fabric stash is happy, happy, happy.
Since mid November, I’ve spent every minute of spare time piecing and hand quilting a sofa-sized log cabin quilt. All that’s left to do is cut and stitch the binding and launder. It’s turning out really pretty and I plan to gift it. I used high-loft batting so it’s super snuggly. I’m sure it will be enjoyed.
Jacob is here this weekend so I’ve been doing extra cooking. I love spoiling him! I spent a full day making homemade noodles for us to eat and him to take home. Today, I’ll bake a couple of batches of cookies. He’s requested cheezy potato and ham soup for dinner which isn’t difficult or time consuming. I’ll finally get a chance to relax this evening.
Maybe I’ll start planning my next hand sewing project.
