We got the great thread. What&#8217;s up next? Batting of course! (I couldn&#8217;t help myself with the title of the post &#8211; my husband is a huge baseball fan and Spring training is underway&#8230; I&#8217;m not sure who&#8217;s more excited &#8211; me to get the batting or my husband, who gets to watch batters.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I looked into a lot of companies for batting. Why did I chose to bring in Matilda&#8217;s Own batting from Australia? There are a few reasons:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>It&#8217;s so easy to work with. We currently have Cotton, Poly\/Cotton (20\/80), and Bamboo. They feel amazing to the touch. They work well for both machine and hand quilting.<\/li><li>It&#8217;s pre-washed. That means practically no shrinking when washing. No surprises.<\/li><li>There are no glues or resins with Matilda&#8217;s Own batting. They work well for people who have allergies. The bamboo batting is even organic!<\/li><li>Matilda&#8217;s Own brand is concerned with ethical farming. I&#8217;ve been vegan for over 10 years and it&#8217;s something that I feel strongly about. I&#8217;ve done the research, and I even feel comfortable bringing in the wool batting. (I don&#8217;t have wool yet! It&#8217;s going to take some time for me to bring it in.) It just makes me feel good to use it.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>I know that last point may just be me, but it makes me smile to think about happy sheep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can currently get cotton, poly\/cotton and even polyester batting in Israel already. Why bamboo? Bamboo is great for summer blankets. I don&#8217;t know about you, but I quilt all year long. It&#8217;s nice to have a fiber that breathes well! It&#8217;s cooler for summer month blankets, but still warm enough for winter. It&#8217;s great all year round. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Enough about Matilda&#8217;s Own. Besides Matilda&#8217;s Own, we also have Soft and Stable by ByAnnie. This is an amazing product that is great for bag making. It&#8217;s super light and easy to work with, and it keeps its shape. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I haven&#8217;t used it myself yet, but Shelley asked me to bring it in, so I did. If you&#8217;d like to contact her about buying some of her bags, I&#8217;ll put you in touch. She makes incredible stuff!  Here&#8217;s some of her work:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/quiltisrael.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/pull_string_bag.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/quiltisrael.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/pull_string_bag-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11990\" srcset=\"https:\/\/quiltisrael.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/pull_string_bag-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/quiltisrael.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/pull_string_bag-350x467.jpg 350w, https:\/\/quiltisrael.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/pull_string_bag-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/quiltisrael.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/pull_string_bag-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/quiltisrael.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/pull_string_bag-1320x1760.jpg 1320w, https:\/\/quiltisrael.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/pull_string_bag-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/quiltisrael.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/pull_string_bag.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 706px) 89vw, (max-width: 767px) 82vw, 740px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/quiltisrael.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/pencil_case_round.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/quiltisrael.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/pencil_case_round-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11992\" srcset=\"https:\/\/quiltisrael.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/pencil_case_round-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/quiltisrael.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/pencil_case_round-350x467.jpg 350w, https:\/\/quiltisrael.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/pencil_case_round-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/quiltisrael.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/pencil_case_round-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/quiltisrael.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/pencil_case_round-1320x1760.jpg 1320w, https:\/\/quiltisrael.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/pencil_case_round-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/quiltisrael.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/pencil_case_round.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 706px) 89vw, (max-width: 767px) 82vw, 740px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/quiltisrael.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/napsack.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/quiltisrael.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/napsack-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-11994\" srcset=\"https:\/\/quiltisrael.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/napsack-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/quiltisrael.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/napsack-350x467.jpg 350w, https:\/\/quiltisrael.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/napsack-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/quiltisrael.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/napsack-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/quiltisrael.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/napsack-1320x1760.jpg 1320w, https:\/\/quiltisrael.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/napsack-600x800.jpg 600w, https:\/\/quiltisrael.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/napsack.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 706px) 89vw, (max-width: 767px) 82vw, 740px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>There&#8217;s so much happening in the store right now.
