Signed, sealed, delivered

Web1 My Web Sampler quilt returned from the quilter.  For a project I really struggled with, I'm very happy with the end result.  My quilter used the Baptist Fan pattern, which I think suits the feel of the design very well.

I used Dream Wool batting and must say I have a new favorite.  I also used it in my Allspice Tapestry quilt, and use that one on my bed.  The wool is nice and warm and has more loft than Warm & Natural.  What I did with this quilt is actually wash the quilt.  Yep - in the washing machine AND the dryer - and it came out looking perfect.  I think it washes up even better than cotton batting.  It maintains the loft and doesn't pucker and shrink.  LOVING IT!

  1. Lisa it's stunning! Congratulations on a gorgeous quilt! I have a package of Dream Wook batting I bought to try - after your comment it sounds like that just may be my standard for bed quilts!
    Cheers!

  12. I am spending some quality time with your blog this morning, and I must say that everything you have created is absolutely beautiful, Lisa! I wouldn't have expected anything else from you, you talented girl.
    I am very interested in the batting you used - it sounds perfect for winter-time quilts. I'm going to have to check it out.
