Of the many things I look forward to each autumn, getting back into my sewing room is always number one.

I suspect I’m not alone, and this year, I hope you’ll enjoy cozying up to the largest assortment of LUXE fabrics we’ve ever offered. This month we introduce our two latest exclusive collections, Weathered Tonals and Elemental Illusions.

Weathered Tonals is the newest addition to our Blenders library, an unexpected texture that’s equally confident supporting prints or standing alone. The rich jewel tones make for a fresh, satisfying new palette. How will you incorporate these into your stash?

18

Elemental Illusions takes its color cues from our previous blockbuster collection, Elemental Nuances.

With its handsome prints and cosmopolitan palette, this collection offers the epitome of sophisticated chic.

We’re loving how the quilts featured in this collection can slip right in with any style of décor. I think I see a sea of family room refreshes on the horizon!

Don’t forget, we love seeing what you’ve made, as does the entire community, so be sure to share your work on Facebook and Instagram—just tag it with this hashtag #TogetherWeQuilt.

Create. Quilt. Love.

Weathered Tonals are the latest addition to our Blenders library.

The tonal texture is inspired by paint chipping off of weathered buildings. The rich, jewel tones are hand selected to coordinate with our other tonal Blenders. All in all, these fabrics are perfect for either a fall project, or for just building out your stash!

EXCLUSIVE A

Available exclusively at Connecting Threads, LUXE is the finest quilting fabric available today.

This buttery-soft cloth is produced by one of the world’s most premium mills and is made from 100% American-grown Supima™ cotton.

Known among apparel manufacturers for its legendary softness, fabric made from Supima is also incredibly durable, preserving your heirlooms for decades to come.

LUXE fabric is OEKO-TEX® certified. OEKO-TEX is made up of 18 different independent research and testing institutes in Europe and Japan.

They certify whether textiles are made in safe, environmentally friendly, and socially responsible ways. This means LUXE fabric has a lower carbon footprint than most other quilting textiles.

Chambray Tonals Chambray Tonals are one of our most versatile and best-selling exclusive collections. The softening of the colors due to the chambray “texture” gives any project a strong, vibrant color, without screaming “look at me!”

These are perfect for anyone looking to add bursts of color that don’t overwhelm, and they pair beautifully with all of our exclusive collections.

A Guide to Batting With so many options to choose from, selecting the perfect batting for your project can seem like a daunting task. Fear not, quilter! We’ve put together a helpful guide to help you understand what makes each type of batting different, so that you can determine what will work best for you and your project!

COTTON BATTIN G 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 BATTIN G 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

36

FREE SHIPPING on orders over $65+ in the contiguous United States*

OUR PICK This batting is made from the finest long-staple American cotton. Never bleached with harsh chemicals, this batting is the ideal choice for quilts for little ones.

WARM & NATURAL COTTON BATTING 21802 Twin $21.99 21803 Queen $31.99 21804 King $47.99

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

P OLYE STE R B ATTIN G Polyester is lightweight, but very durable. It is machine washable and dryable, and has a high loft, making it a great choice for those that want to show off their quilting.

GOOD FOR Making your quilting POP!

BL AC K B ATTIN G 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 BATTIN G Fusible battings eliminate the need for pinning or spray-basting, saving you precious time!

GOOD FOR Convenience

OUR PICK This batting is made from high-quality polyester, needle-punched into a thin base that holds the fibers in place, keeping the batting even and consistent.

SOFT & BRIGHT POLYESTER 21812 Queen $18.99 21813 King $31.99
