Bamboo batting

Bamboo batting

According to Winline Textiles they have the best 100% bamboo batting and everyone making quilts will soon be using this product because according to their website it’s a  natural fiber made from renewable resources, durable, antibacterial, breathable, and thin scrim to prevent stretching and bunching.  What do you think?  Is bamboo batting the batting of the future?  Leave me a comment with your opinion.  Thanks!

Here’s a perfect quilt for an edge to edge design.  A freehand shell design adds lots of movement and texture to the batik fabrics.  The thread is a King Tut variegated by Superior Threads and the batting is Quilter’s Dream Poly select.

Here’s another fun quilt from Candace of The Double Nickel Quilt Challenge called Nickel Gumball.  The pantograph Double Bubble is a perfect compliment to the polka dot border fabric, carrying the circular theme throughout the quilt.  The thread is So Fine by Superior Threads and the batting is Quilter’s Dream Poly select.

Just returned from Machine Quilter’s Showcase in Overland Park, KS.  Had a great time looking at quilts and shopping!!  No classes, maybe next time.  Here’s a couple pics of fabulous quilting!

Girl Talk by Rainbows and Calico Things

What girl wouldn’t want a quilt like this?!  The kit is available at Rainbows and Calico Things, online or in the store.  To compliment the squares we decided on a freehand edge to edge (E2E) spiral design using white thread.  The quilting adds lots of great texture and movement.  The batting is Quilter’s Dream Poly select, which is white and guarantees the white fabric to stay white looking.
