The thread kit is on backorder. You can wait or Bob Purcell has set it up so you can use your coupon code for $20 off on any purchase over $75.

In the Introduction pdf under the Pattern.

Where is info listed for the thread kit for 2014 Bom kit? Thanks, Dixie

I am so excited! My kit arrived yesterday. The fabrics are gorgeous. Can't wait to start this one.

Hi, I am Susan Hall and I have a quilt shop... http://www.cottonbollquilting.com. I have 5 more complete kits with original fabrics. I also have a bolt of Confetti Basics 5214-003 which is one shade lighter than the background fabric in the original kit. I have enough for 4 quilts (2 1/2 yards each) if anyone is interested in a slightly lighter background. Checkout my site. I am part of the FabShop blowout sale through tomorrow night. 15% off everything except BOM. However, I don't have this background fabric posted yet. It runs $12.00 a yard but I will give a 20% discount if you purchase by tomorrow at midnight. Just email me at mailto:shall7613@aol.com if you are interested.

Alex, thanks for the fast response...on Saturday night no less! Happy New Year!

Hey Everyone! I hope you are all enjoying the end of Dec -I am actually quilting!!! As for the backing - Janet used the black polk-a-dot that is used for the border. Unfortunately at this point we aren't set up to sell it on line. I like the idea of calling your local quilt shop or an on line shop (always please do call the brick and mortar first - we need these folks!) - the fabric company is RJR......Hope this helps..........back to my machine!

Yes ! Thanks, Beverly ! and Capt'n John ! I thought Superior might do that for us !! Getting excited !!

Thanks, Beverly! That worked beautifully. I think I should give Alex a chance to respond since I opened this can of worms. If not, then I'll use your suggested source!

Sue, I ordered the kit and was able to look at the selvages to get the product name for each fabric for you. Go to http://www.quiltshops.com and do a search starting with RJR, then the name of the fabric. I found all of them in a search just now, so give it a try.

8172-07 - RJR Crazy for Dots and Stripes
5214-042- RJR Confetti Basics - Back to Basics (Black)
5214-04 - RJR Confetti Basics - Back to Basics
4758-34 - RJR Handspray Sky Blue
4758-01 - RJR Handspray Lime Green

The kit fabric and Superior thread are both just gorgeous - fabric washed and ready to go January 1st!

The fabrics I would be interested in are :
4758-01 Lime Green 1 1/2 yards
4758-34 Sky Blue 2 1/2 yards
5214-04 Background 2 1/2 yards **** (Ref 22)
5214-042 Black 2 yards **** (Ref 10)
8172-07 Blk. Multi Dot 1 1/2 yards (Ref 26)

The last 3 present the most challenge to find an adequate substitute for chickens like me, but the lime might be a challenge to find, also.

Thanks for considering our requests!

Don't forget to order the black thread separately, as it is not part of the kit.

I don't know anything about backing fabric, so I have pushed that Alex's way. However, I notified Bob Purcell about the thread and he said that he will extend the discount through Feb 28. Sorry for the delay. We had a larger response than we expected. It really is great thread and at just over $4 a spool, a really good deal.

I was thinking along the same lines...good stash ! But I need those larger yardages, too. :shock: And while
we are on the subject, Superior is out of the thread kit ...not due in until end of Jan....Our discount expires
Dec. 31 ? ! Was there an extension notice that I missed ?? I haven't called them yet....
