One of the things I have discovered when doing block drives, is I need to be very prepared with materials prior to the start of each event. So when Connecting Threads had their last sale, I did a bit of shopping (Thanks to a few donations to my blog and some affiliate purchases.)
I woke up this morning to see that Connecting Threads is having a great sale.
It didn't take me long to fill my cart!
I am blown away by how many of you have contacted me to say they made blocks for my donation quilt project. The blocks are now coming in daily and I am sorting them into little stacks for future designs. I have already made one quilt (that I hope to share on Friday) and the second top is just about complete.
Is it time to do a bit of shopping? I took advantage of some of these sales today so I thought I would share them with you.
It ends Saturday night so don't wait!

I love a good sale!

Almost every July, Connecting Threads has a nice sale where I can stock up on my backing inventory. I just got notice of their sale.
This year they are calling it their Finishing Sale. Both Batting and Wide Backing are up to 25% off.
They have some of my favorites in stock - Hand Drawn Lines, Lava Lamp and Word Play. This is a great time to buy those items that are keeping you from finishing that quilt!
They also have a few white on white that can easily be used for background fabrics. In fact, I have been using the ...

I am just popping in today to let you know there is a good sale going on right now. It might be the perfect time to stock up on backing fabrics, background fabrics or thread.
Connecting Threads is having one of their sitewide sales through May 30th. This includes an additional 20% off items in the sale section. Just use promo code MDW22.
When I buy fabric, it is rarely for a specific project. I like to have a nice sized stash that allows me to pull fabrics from it when I start a new project. That means I have to be real careful when I buy fabrics because they can sit around for a really ling time.
It also helps that I make mostly scrap quilts - everything seems to work with scraps!
I continue to work on making some baby quilts for one of my quilt buyers.
She plans on donating them so I want to keep the costs down as much as possible.
I thought I would dig through my orphan blocks and pull a few more leftover strip sets. The ones I used on these blocks were actually really odd shaped (sorry, no photos). They were improv pieced and a circle was cut from them. I decided I could still make them work by cutting away the curvy parts and ending up with a triangle. I found some older stash ...

read moreI haven't bought any fabric in a really long time. I have been really determined to use what I have. But in working on a few projects, I finally admitted that I needed to replenish my white on white stash. I think I have used every tiny bit in my house.

Recently I took advantage of a sale at Connecting Threads and purchased a whole bunch of 2.5 yard cuts of 108" backing fabrics. I bought both a light denim and dark denim chambray. Not only can I use these as backings, but they would also make a nice background fabric.
I also bought pieces of Word Play and Multi Dot - these will work with just about ...

And thanks to a few of my affiliates, there are lots of ways for you to celebrate.
There was a giant box of goodness that landed on my doorstep this afternoon...
I mentioned in a previous post that one of the things I was doing in the new year was to participate in one of Annie's Mystery Stitch Alongs. Earlier this month we received out first chapter and the pattern for the first block.
