Dearest quilters, With spring just around the corner, all of us here at Connecting Threads have been buzzing about, discussing our gardens, more daylight beginning to illuminate longer evenings in the backyard, and our plans for Easter and Passover. In short, we all adore springtime,

10

and joyfully welcome its imminent return!

How do you celebrate the seasons’ transitions? Do you use an annual spring cleaning weekend as an opportunity to refresh which quilts adorn your beds and furniture?

Consider spring cleaning your sewing space and—gasp!— stash? Notice the palette of your projects shifting, subtly or dramatically? How about packing up the flannel for next year? (We polled our staff about this last one, see p. 27 for the surprising answer!)

We hope you enjoy the selection of fabrics and projects we put together for you this month, and are enjoying seeing the daffodils start to peek out of the soil as much as we are!

Yours very truly, Kris Erickson

Fat Quarters One of our favorite things about fat quarters is how many different cutting layouts are possible. And because of a fat quarter’s wide dimension, you can cut both more and larger squares than from a linear quarter-yard’s equal number of square inches. In short, more options and less waste!

A Guide to Batting With so many options to choose from, selecting the perfect batting for your project can seem like a daunting task. Fear not, quilter!

We’ve put together a helpful guide to help you understand what makes each type of batting different, so that you can determine what will work best for you and your project!

COTTON B ATTIN G Cotton is a soft, breathable, and natural fiber. It’s machine washable and dryable, has moderate drape, and ages well. It softens and shrinks slightly with washing, giving it a crinkled “lived in” look. Compared to other materials, cotton batting offers the heaviest weight.

GOOD FOR A flat, traditional look

WOOL BATTIN G Wool is lightweight, warm, and moisture-wicking. Contrary to popular belief, it’s machine washable and dryable as long as you use gentle, cool cycles.

GOOD FOR Garments & all-season bed quilts

FREE SHIPPING on orders over $75+ in the contiguous United States*

OUR PICK This batting is made from the finest long-staple American cotton. Never bleached with harsh chemicals, this batting is the ideal choice for quilts for little ones.

HOBBS HEIRLOOM NATURAL 100% COTTON BATTING 21061 Crib $9.99 21062 Queen $23.99 21063 King $36.99 OUR PICK These wool battings are manufactured using the finest washable wool available.

The wool is lightly resin bonded to help prevent fiber migration. Can be hand or machine quilted and will shrink 3–5%.

HOBBS TUSCANY WOOL BATTING 21474 Twin $32.99 21475 Queen $42.99 21476 King $63.99

POLY- DOWN Polyester is lightweight and very durable. It’s machine washable and dryable. Poly-down’s medium loft makes it a great choice to show off quilting stitch definition.

OUR PICK Made with very fine denier polyester, this batting has a down-like softness, and is perfect for quilting up to 6" apart.

HOBBS POLY-DOWN BATTING

GOOD FOR Showing off your stitching

BL AC K B ATTIN G Black batting is used to give your dark quilts a richer, deeper color. Use under dark fabrics to eliminate white fibers poking through your quilt top.

OUR PICK Black-dyed cotton provides quilters a dark batting that will not show through a dark quilt top.

HOBBS HEIRLOOM 80/20 BLACK COTTON 20826 Queen $22.99 21654 King $37.99
