Waddings for baby quiltsWe recommend either 100% cotton or wool are used inside baby quilts.

In cotton we have two weights. The lightest, known as ‘Request’ is ideal for prams and cots whilst the medium weight, called ‘select’ is suitable for a toddler or as a playmat. These cotton wadding only require quilting every 6-8" and wash well

with no shrinkage.Wool waddings are traditionally used in many countries for both their warmth and moisture absorption qualities. They quilt beautifully, like a hot knife through butter

and will require quilting every 3-4". This could become a family heirloomFull laundry instructions are shown on each wadding package.

Cotton Request £7.00 (46” x 36”)Cotton Select: £8.00 (46" x 36")

Wool: £18.00 (46” x 60”)

Modern Quilt? What is this Modern Quilt? I am happy to see new quilters coming along, discovering the joys of cut-it-up-and-put-it-back-together with all the utterly delightful fabrics that are around these days. And I love the

Modern Movement - quilts for using, minimalist design, clean colours, plains as well as patterns; all allied with skill in mak-ing, pleasure in quilting as well as piecing, and the desire to share skills and information.. So, I founded the Modern Quilt Group of the Quilters’ Guild of the British Isles last year, and

I’m attempting to spread the Word as far as I can.

So, from Thursday 20th to Saturday 22nd August, I will be at Quilter’s Haven with a display of Modern Quilts, demonstra-tions - hands-on mini-workshops, free patterns and ideas, and

help and advice.. Bring your machine if you want to, bring your quilts to share, and bring your Debit cards…

them on a tree they become ornaments.
