Kristie and LInda beautiful quilts! Sorry about the panto name, I kind of slang everything up to suit me, but yes it is swirl n twirl. Hope I didnt cause to much frustration, you just turn up the tunes find your grove and go girl go or go guy go!

Thanks Mary for posting the sight!

Wow you guys, that's some nice quilting!! Grasshopper

Very pretty. I love the stitch definition of wool too, and also how easy it is to work with.

p.s.

Suzeyq, I bet you could do that design freehand. Give it a try.

Linda S - Love that quilt too - Great quilting!!! Looks like a very "modern" Wedding Ring pattern..... any idea on the name of that one??

You did such a perfect job of quilting it just right - awesome!

[Guest Linda S]

Judi - it is called Monet's Wedding Ring and the pattern is in Judy Martin's Scraps book. My sister and I made that quilt (well - I helped by feeding the strips through the machine as she handed them to me) and then I quilted it for her. Someday, I hope to make one for myself!

Gotta love that wool batting. I'm off upstairs to do another quilt with wool!

[Judi]

Thanks Linda - I really like that one too - great colors as well!!!

I also love wool batting and us it in all my quilts now. I try to talk customer into it also, but I have a lot of cotton believers who don't want to try anything new.

I use Quilter's Dream 100% Wool. It shrinks about the same amount that cotton does, about 3%. Love it, love it, love it.

Uh Oh.............another book of patterns added to my Wish List. Thank you Linda S.

I always use wool - I like Matilda's own 60% wool, 40% poly blend, which gives a lovely loft just as in the above pictures. It's almost like doing trapunto sometimes without doing all the work! I also like 100% wool too, a little flatter but still more loft in comparison to cotton. I personally don't like cotton, but as someone said above, if a customer wants it, they bring it! The good thing about these wool waddings (batting) is that they are washable, and you don't need to do very close quilting if you don't want to - for instance, the label on the w/p mix states 'quilting 8" -10" apart'.

Ok all you Wool batting lovers, which brand do you like best & why?

[Guest Linda S]

I've always loved Hobbs Wool (on the roll, not in the package) but lately I'm liking the Quilters Dream even better. I think it has a bit more loft and smoothness to it, just altogether more cozy.

I too prefer the Quilter's Dream.

[Quilting Heidi]

QD for me! Love it.

[marycontrary]

Has anyone tried Legacy wool? My lqs carries this and I'm pretty sure I can order it wholesale through her.

[Bekah]

I have only used QD wool to quilt a raffle quilt for a guild last year.I absolutely loved working with it.

all the quilts shown are truly lovely. thank you for the name of the panto. I enjoy pantos and am always looking for something new

I know we can get Matilda's at EQuilter. Even though it indicates that you have to spin dry and then air dry - can you put this in the dryer like Quilter's Dream wool??? Would love to try it but I really have no place to let quilts air dry.
