Back in business

I was able to get some good (non-stinky) quilters dream batting today at my local quilt shop.  It passed the sniff test with flying colors.  After a night of airing out, all the quilt tops smell just fine, too.  I recut batting, relayered everything and I'm ready for my quilting marathon.  I'll worry about getting my money back next week, but for now I am happy and relieved!

    Wonderful news! I remember that you were going to meet with someone from the museum to sell your pieces and had a show in March, so this must really be putting pressure on now. I'm like Marsha, I love the flying geese, but they are all fantastic. Best of luck on both endeavors! Mary

    At leats you are back on track Ann. Just a minor hiccough in your plans. Plenty to keep you busy there. Happy Stitching, Ann :-)

    What a pile of work you have there! They're all beautiful, so I'm sure it will be a pleasure to work on them. Maybe the stinky batting will air out too, in time?

    Getting over unexpected obstacles - all part of the quilting experience. What a beautiful array of quilts. Do you think colour choice is learnt or instinctive?

    A marathon indeed! You know, you'll have to show the finished pile too!

    Those little tops are wonderful.

    Hand quilt or machine quilt? I just finished a doll quilt top and don't want to lose the integrity of the quilt by machine quilting but I really don't enjoy hand quilting. What do you do? BettyLou

    Did you ever figure out why the batting was so stinky? I've never heard of such a thing!!

    Glad you got your batting and got the quilts all layered. You really will have a quilting Marathon. I had lost track of how many tops you ad finished. They look great and I look forward to seeing them all done. Happy quilting.

    What a great stack of little quilts! Glad you got the batting problem resolved before they were all quilted.
    Is there a lesson for us all in your experience? Should we maybe sniff battings, and maybe fabrics, before we bring them home?
    Happy quilting --- in a hurry! *wink* ---"Love"
