Connecting Threads Catalog July 2023

It’s always sewing season!

We asked our staff what projects they are getting started this summer.

I’m going to make a quilt kit from Hometown Americana. As a busy Mom, I like projects that come together quickly. The hardest part is choosing which one!

Kristin DIRECTOR OF MARKETING + CREATIVE

This year, I am getting started on my holiday sewing early! This advent calendar will be the perfect place to store small gifts and treats during the holidays.

Karen DIRECTOR OF MERCHANDISING

Check out our holiday samplers, kits, and more on pages 30-37.

My list of projects is a mile long! Our Basics & Blenders make a great base―we have a such a wide array, I can find colors to match any season!

A Brand New BLOCK OF THE MONTH

Liberty Lane

BY KRISTIN GASSAWAY

It’s all flags flying on Liberty Lane with its friendly town square and all-star salute. Make it month by month so it’s manageable and fun!

Liberty Lane Block of the Month features our exclusive collection, Hometown Americana. Visit us online to see buying options.

Finished size is 961/2" square.

Note: Backing is not included with subscription. 9 yards backing are needed to complete Liberty Lane. Binding is included.

What is a Block of the Month ?

Each month, for 9 months, we’ll ship you the instructions and the fabric you’ll need to make a portion of the quilt. The idea is that you can “sew-as-you-go,” and at the end of 9 months, you’ll have sewn a finished quilt top!

More than just a project, it’s a community.

Very happy with my block! The instructions were well written! Thank you to Connecting Threads and Kristin Gassaway for such a beautiful project! This is my second BOM!

I would have not ventured in doing this quilt on my own. But I’m so sew glad I did… Thank you Connecting Threads for your beautiful fabric and making this happen. And a great big thank you to this group of amazing encouragements and your beautiful works in progress. We are in this together.

Our Batting Guide

Have questions about which batting is right for your project? This handy guide can help you find the perfect kind to use in your projects, or help you experiment with confidence!

COTTON BATTING

Cotton is a soft, breathable, and natural fiber. It’s machine washable and dryable, has moderate drape, and ages well. It softens and shrinks slightly with washing, giving it a crinkled “lived in” look. Compared to other materials, cotton batting offers the heaviest weight.

GOOD FOR A flat, traditional look

WOOL BATTING

Wool is lightweight, warm, and moisture-wicking. Contrary to popular belief, it’s machine washable and dryable as long as you use gentle, cool cycles.

GOOD FOR Garments & all-season bed quilts

OUR PICK

This bleached, low-loft batting is designed for quilters who want a soft, drape-like feel with a traditional look. It’s perfect for light-colored quilts and is a great choice for both hand and machine quilting.

HOBBS HEIRLOOM NATURAL 100% COTTON BATTING

21273 Crib $11.99

21274 Queen $27.99

21275 King $38.99

OUR PICK

These wool battings are manufactured using the finest washable wool available. The wool is lightly resin bonded to help prevent fiber migration. Can be hand or machine quilted and will shrink 3–5%.

HOBBS TUSCANY

WOOL BATTING

21474 Twin $32.99

21475 Queen $42.99

21476 King $63.99

POLY-DOWN

Polyester is lightweight and very durable. It’s machine washable and dryable. Poly-down’s medium loft makes it a great choice to show off quilting stitch definition.

GOOD FOR Showing off your stitching

BLACK BATTING

Black batting is used to give your dark quilts a richer, deeper color. Use under dark fabrics to eliminate white fibers poking through your quilt top.

GOOD FOR Quilts with dark fabric

FUSIBLE BATTING

Fusible battings eliminate the need for pinning or spray-basting, saving you precious time!

GOOD FOR Convenience

KNOW YOUR BATTINGS BOOKLET

by Krista Moser

Never get the wrong batting again with this resourceful, pocket-sized guide you can take along with you to the store! Small but mighty, this booklet will help you choose appropriate batting, use it correctly, and avoid common mistakes so you end up with a perfect quilt every time.

46894 $8.50 $6.80 SAVE 20%
