ok you guys I use the fusible batting by hobbs. It sticks never pulls, bunches, moves on me. It is a thin batting which is my preference. If you set a vase or something narrow and tall on it it will never plop it over like a thicker batting can do. I cringe if I have to use regular batting. oh heck no.
now that bird fabric can just wander its way over to my house. scraps r us. that is so pretty!!! I will quilt yours today like the dog then start on my other one for nursebonnie. yippppeeeee!!! sewing all day. I am lucky we have this big window to our front yard in the livingroom and I can look outside anytime I want to take a break. most of the time my head is pointed down at the table or my machine however. It sounds like you have a gorgeous view there in your wine country in Oregon. go ahead snap a pic and share it with us.. we all like drooling. in fact I know we are excellent at it .. just go to the picture section here and watch the drool begin.
