Sponsor and Prize of the Week

We are thrilled to have Hobbs Bonded Fibers back as our sponsor for week 9! Hobbs is my go-to batting, and I’m thrilled that we get to share this fantastic product with you. This is the third of four weekly prizes Hobbs is sponsoring, and they are also contributing to the grand prize, so there is more than one chance to win this awesome quilt batting!

The prize this week is a queen size (90″x 108″) Heirloom Premium 80/20 Cotton/Poly Batting!

Hobbs Heirloom^® Premium 80/20 Cotton/Poly Blend Batting is wonderful to quilt by hand or machine. This batting is made with a blend of 80% natural cotton and 20% fine polyester, is needle punched, and has a light resin bonding to provide exceptional strength and durability. Close quilting yields a flat, low-loft appearance, while more space between stitching lines yields a slightly higher loft.
