Every quilter knows that fabric somehow multiplies when you’re not looking. One minute you’re buying “just a few fat quarters,” and the next thing you know there’s a whole drawer that refuses to close. If you’re going to add to the stash (and let’s be honest, we always do), it’s nice when there’s a proper quilting sale happening at the same time.
Right now Connecting Threads is celebrating National Quilting Month, and they’ve launched a Friends & Family Sale with up to 25% off sitewide. For anyone planning a new quilt project, replenishing basics, or finally replacing that rotary cutter you’ve been babying for years, it’s a great moment to browse.
Why This Sale Is Worth a Look
Connecting Threads has always been popular with quilters because their fabrics are designed specifically with quilting in mind. That means consistent cotton quality, colours that coordinate beautifully across collections, and prints that actually work in patchwork rather than fighting each other.
During the National Quilting Month sale you’ll typically find discounts on:
- Quilting cotton fabrics
- Fat quarter bundles and precuts
- Quilt backing fabrics
- Thread and batting
- Rotary cutters, rulers, and sewing notions
- Quilt kits and project bundles
If you’ve been eyeing a quilt kit or a coordinated fabric collection, these sales can be the moment where the price finally makes sense.
The Smart Quilter’s Strategy
Over the years I’ve learned that the best way to shop a quilting sale is to buy for future projects, not just the one currently on the sewing table.
A few things I usually look for:
- Background fabrics
Creams, whites, and subtle neutrals disappear faster than you think. - Backing fabrics
Wide quilt backing at a discount is always worth grabbing. - Precuts
Charm packs, jelly rolls, and fat quarter bundles make quick projects so much easier. - Quilt kits
If you’ve ever abandoned a project halfway because the fabrics didn’t quite coordinate, a kit solves that problem instantly.
National Quilting Month Is the Perfect Excuse
March is often celebrated as National Quilting Month, and many quilting brands use it as an opportunity to run some of their biggest promotions of the year. It’s a nice reminder that quilting isn’t just a hobby — it’s a craft with a long history and a community that stretches across generations.
And honestly, there’s something about seeing stacks of beautiful fabric that immediately makes you want to start a new quilt.
Even if your current project pile is already a little ambitious.
