  1. Hi! Great to be back at Sunday Stash! Wow, your batting rolls look very inspiring – thinking that there is always enough batting waiting surely helps! I have found that kind of tweezers very practical with sewing (ex. sewing curves) and cleaning dust from my sewing machine. x Teje

    I feel guilty about just about everything I buy!! Even when I get a screaming deal on it! I buy a roll of Warm & Natural that last me almost a year. I love having it on hand all the time, who likes to run out?! Or you find you are just a bit short! the tweezers are one tool I have been meaning to get, but always forget about!

    You most certainly made a wise decision having Tula’s book spiral bound…I’ve had a heck of a time keeping it open as I work…I’ll definitely consider that next time! So glad to see your post this Sunday!

    I have a pair of those tweezers and they are handy cuz they’re nice and grippy. I don’t like to start a seam unless I have the bobbin thread pulled up long enough. I use those to grab and pull that little length of thread that comes up but still hides under the presser foot.

    If you’re looking for more battings to try, I’d suggest Quilters Dream brand. (They often have it on Massdrop so you can usually get a pretty decent deal through them, though I don’t know how their shipping is to Australia.) I’ve used their wool batting before and it’s amazing… I never want to use Warm and Natural again (I have lots of it, though, so I’ll keep using it till I’ve used it up, at least) – the drape is just amazing, even when it’s heavily quilted.

    I’m really looking forward to seeing your #100days100blocks. And Book Depository – oh my word! – I didn’t know about this until reading your post. Now I’m going to have to figure out how to split my money between fabric and books!!!

    Knowing I’d rather run naked in traffic than commit to a block a day, I worked on Tula’s blocks in tandem with and between other projects, setting no time limit for myself. I chose a block I wanted to work on at that moment and took pleasure in completing it. In five months I’d finished 80 blocks and a quilt top was born.
    Be kind to yourself, Molli !!

    I ended up not doing the city sampler in ANY order whatsoever, with multiples of some blocks and others left out. In the end, I loved my city sampler- I was SO picky with it, but it was absolutely worth it. Hey… it’s hanging in an art gallery (at my former college) now, so, I guess it paid off!

  9. Linda says:

    That wool batting will pop up and out like a tube of pillsbury rolls – so not to worry.

    Happy to see you back at Sunday Stash, I had withdrawl symptoms not seeing the customary Sunday post. Also, am planning on joining the #100days100blocks block party so loads of planning and preparation to do 🙂 Looking forward to your blocks
