Messy studios

How messy is your work space? Mine is a diaster! I have fabric overflowing on the guest bed, on the quilt rack and everywhere in between. Yet somehow, it all works for me. My mess lets me work on multiple projects depending on my mood.

Every now and again, I clean up. The down side of this is that it then takes FOREVER to find anything! Just think, before I had kids I was actually a super neat, super organized person. What happened?

Environmentally Friendly Batt

I am debating on whether to order a quilt batt made from recycled plastic bottles. I believe that it is great stuff for the environment, but is it great for my quilts? That is the question. A queen sized batt uses 20 plastic bottles. That is great, but I use cotton in my quilts and normally I use natural products in my batts.

My favorite batt is wool. I love to handquilt and there is nothing better than wool. The needle truely glides through the batt like butter. I know, sounds dorky, but true. Of course wool is pricey, so I use cotton batts instead.

I guess the only way to know is to try the quilt green batt and see how it goes. Now to find a local dealer.....
