That's a smart idea! I'm in Ocala, too, and my plantings outdoors are covered with towels, moving blankets, and quilting fabric!! Never thought of leftover batting! Thanks for the tip and stay warm. That North Wind is nippy!

that north wind was near minus 40 last 2 nights in OHIO. I left the bathroom sink running a fine stream so the pipes don't freeze. The furnace quit yesterday morn. Of course it did. coldest day since 94'. saving the scraps to stuff around 2 of my windows that are drafty too. using cotton balls for that right now. going to make 5 cat stuffed mats today while there are no other projects pulling at me. stay warm

With the subzero temps, I was worried about my small dogs' paws getting frostbite. I made some booties by cutting a rectangle 2.5x the length of their paws (just above the ankle). Folded and seamed up the sides. Took a paper punch and punched two holes on each side of the open end of the bootie, and threaded yarn through the holes. Tied them on and it worked.
