We saw the new reds, and we were smitten. Ooo's and aaah's could be heard from us. We started ordering some fabrics and kits a week ago today. If others were like me, more of them were put on 'wish lists' to be ordered as soon as we could swing it. Well that day arrived, and guess what? Yep, they're already SOLD OUT! I just went to order the 'Inferno' kit, the bag kit and some yardage, one of which was 5501. All to find out they are GONE!!! I do believe Connecting Threads is setting some records (or it seems so) in that they are selling out in less than a week with their new releases.
Now for the question that is probably on more minds than just mine. Are you going to be able to get some more of these as you did the flannels? It looks like the #5501 black fabric is the key to these kits. Please, please consider another run of the fabric so we can get the kits we want.

Comment by Carol Vickers/OH on January 12, 2013 at 8:49am The fabrics usually show up online before I get me catalog in the mail. Guess I'll have to keep on top of the online offerings so I don't miss out!
Comment by Joan on January 12, 2013 at 8:11am All gone again, Oh well! This is why I don't get excited anymore when a catalog comes. I figure why bother, by the time I figure out how much yardage I'd need and start an order it's going to be all gone. And with these fabric lines selling out so fast you have to get the yardages right on the first order. Sorry CT, you know your customer base and demand, so you know how much to manufacture, why deliberately come up short? Trying to get some excitement? Start a buying frenzy every time a new line comes out? Sorry, not playing the game.
Comment by Cindy on January 11, 2013 at 2:39pm My catalog came yesterday and I know of some that have had them for a week! They certainly don't all go out at the same time, I don't think.
Comment by Carol Ann Hinton on January 11, 2013 at 1:29pm It seems the catalogs must go out in some staggered order. I just received my CT catalog featuring these reds TODAY - after I read Cindy's lament! No chance for me there! Hmmm...What's the deal, CT?
Comment by Amanda Best on January 11, 2013 at 12:14pm Oh dear! I really wanted some of that, too! I just love that fabric, hmmm...... hopefully more will come in!
I was afraid that was going to happen, but I have made to vow to not put anything else on my CCs until the balances are paid off so I held off buying any until the end of the month. Oh well, if there is anything I learned while working at a quilt store is that there is always something else just as good right around the corner.
Comment by B J Elder/WA on January 11, 2013 at 8:06am Hope they get more in and you can buy what you wanted! It is beautiful fabric.
Comment by Pam/NY on January 11, 2013 at 5:16am The line is fabulous and you can't beat the price!!! CT...you are doing it!
Comment by Mary, Tewksbury MA on January 11, 2013 at 4:43am Seems to me if something sells out within the 1st week maybe more should have been made. I agree you need #5501 to tie everything together. It is beautiful material, love all the kits. I was going to order too but decided to wait since I have several projects in waiting. 2013 is going to be my year to work with what I have on hand. I have patterns and materials for 4 projects sitting in my quilt room just waiting for me to start. Since it's only the 11th, way too early to break my resolution. I'm a great planner, little slow on the doing.
