We checked her bag when she brought the remains in. It caught fire on the sewn corner. It had all cotton outside, all cotton batting, all cotton thread, and all cotton muslin inside. Did not know about the damp paper towel but since it was a gift to her and had instructions with it from the maker, I'm thinking she did that.
I will find out at next guild meeting. I really wanted to make some for my family for Christmas 2010, we'll see.
Thanks for the information.
