Trying the New Bamboo Quilt Batting.

I'm all about the inside of the quilt.  It's not a quilt until it's quilted and I'm constantly experimenting with batting.  So far, my all time favorite for comfort and the way it lifts the fabric around the quilt stitches, in my opinion is wool batting.  I don't use it too often, as it is very expensive and you can't find it in stock.  I like to support the local establishments, and using a coupon when I do is a great way to be frugal and support, when it's available.  

That being said, I'm experimenting again, with the bamboo batting.  It feels so soft in the bag, I can't wait to try quilting with it.  It's 50/50, bamboo/cotton.  It's also eco friendly, so if it quilts nicely that's another win, win.

I'm still finishing up a quilt top, the Kitchen Roosters.  It's small, compared to a bed quilt, so I hope to finish it soon.  

Quilting In All 3 Zones of My House Today...smile

Zone 1-the bedroom, where I do my handwork...gee that doesn't sound so nice...smile, SEWING THAT IS!  Liverpool played Stokes today and I made a few more hexagon flowers for my Tillies' Mosiac.  Slow progress, but that's what handwork is all about.

Zone 2-the dining room, I'm loading up a quilt top, Kitchen Roosters, from my basket I weighed in with last year and never finished.  I was looking for some backing material in my stash when I ran across this lovely vintage table cloth.  It's quite old and has seen better days, but, maybe on the back of a retro fabric style top, it will find new life.  It's a tad small, but we quilters are good at making things work.  I'll probably cut the wider sides off and sew to the bottom and top.   

Zone 3-the upstairs bedroom/studio/husbands computer room, I'm working on the Flight of Swallows quilt.  

Production feels great.  Idle hands are the devils workshop, or something like that.  Quilters are rarely idle.
