micajah Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Well, I've hit another snag in my whole cloth project. Some of you may recall the churn dash quilt I did for my sister in law who has lung cancer. I quilted it with a babtist fan design and a wool batting. It was really pretty. The wool batting was thick and made the fans really show. This batting was purchased from Mary Jo's Cloth Store in Gastonia NC. I called today to order some more and she no longer carries it. All they had was Legacy wool which is about half the loft of the wool I had used in the churn dash quilt. I can give you the item description the store used - perhaps someone will recognize the manufacturer......TNK Fream wool. It sold by the yard at $7.99 yd. Mary Jo's did not remember who or where they got it from as it was a one time purcase for them. A google search did not bring up anything but Quilters Dream battings. Again, any help much appreciated. Debbie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonnie H Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Debbie, I have a quilter's Dream Wool order sheet. Maybe some of their item numbers will be of help? I wonder if the store has a typo and the wool you have is QD? WOOL-FR 93" x 25 yards WOOL-KFR 122" x 20 yards WOOLCF (craft) WOOLCB (crib) WOOLTH (throw) WOOLTN (twin) WOOLD (double) WOOLQ (queen) WOOLSQ (super queen) WOOLK (king) Do you have any leftover pieces of the wool that maybe you can snap a photo of?

micajah Posted April 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 HI Bonnie, Yes I do! I just took some photos of the last little bit I have left and also the last quilt I did with it. http://www.flickr.com/photos/debbiemcdonald/ It looks like the wool is about 1/2 inch thick when I stood a ruler up to it.

Bonnie H Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Debbie, that quilt is beautiful! I don't have a lot of experience with wool or even QD, but it doesn't look like QD does it? Sorry I can't be of any help. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Primitive1 Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Doesn't QD have a thicker batting that is poly? Or are you wanting wool? I do love their wool battings! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micajah Posted April 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 HI Vicki, I would like to use a wool batting. I am really peeved that Mary Jo's did not even know the name of the batting they sold me last April. I can only blame myself for being slow at making quilts. (sigh). My only other clue was the sales lady thought it had a blue label on the roll. Debbie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zora Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Looks like quilters dream to me. The partial description with fream in it is a dead giveaway...f being right next to d on the keyboard. You will like QD no matter what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oireachtas Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 I can't really tell from the picture. Given the information you have it looks like a good bet that it is QD. The code for their wool roll has "fr" in it. And what you have about the stuff you bought has "fream" in the description. Claire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oireachtas Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Also meant to say TNK Fream wool - KFR is QD code for king folded roll. Don't know what the TN would be. I love Mary Jo's but that is one of the problems sometimes with shopping there. Claire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micajah Posted April 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 I thought to take a gamble based on what Claire and Lynn said, and have ordered a small size batting of the QD wool. Makes sense to me that MJ's had a typo in their description for the product. It was on a roll and I had what I wanted cut from it. Price seems to be the only other difference. Mine should be here by the end of the week and I'll do comparison photos. Ladies, Thank you all for your help. Debbie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oireachtas Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 I think you will be happy with quilter dream wool even if it is not the same. The angel baby quilt I posted yesterday was done with QD if you want to look and see the definition. Claire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
