Tied Together and Trimmed

Last Winter I was giving a spinning demonstration at a local arts event when a man stopped and asked me if I knew anything about wool batting for quilts and if I knew anyone who did sewing work. He asked because, as I was spinning wool, I was also discussing how to properly care for wool. “Yes”, I said, “and I also sew, what do you need done?” He had been given a wool quilt-bat that he wanted a cover made for. Something very simple that would protect it. Then he would put a duvet cover over it. “Yes, I can do that for you” I said.
