I love your quilts. Can't get enough of them. I have felt the bamboo, but can't afford to use it.
Your work is gorgeous. |
You did this in the last few days? Beautiful! It would take me a few months I'm sure to do that.
I have used the bamboo in machine quilting and love it. I can see how you would like it to hand quilt with |
Thanks for sharing your experience with the bamboo...your work is exquisite...Ah...I can but dream!

I have posted this before and am doing it now to show how the bamboo batting worked with the machine quilting. After I washed it the batting shrunk a very tiny bit, just enough to puff out a little in the areas with no quilting, making the stitches show even more. It is very soft and drapes well. Noah's Mommy reports that he likes his quilt.

It sounds like the bamboo batting has improved from what it was like when it first came out a couple years ago. I'll have to keep my eye out for it and try it out. As for cost, I would think that once it has found a nitch in the market it should be cheaper then cotton or wool or polyester batting. The entire point of it is that it is a green product. Bamboo only takes 8 weeks or so to regrow and as such it should end up costing much less then other bats because it is easily renewable. Doesn't that make sense? |
