WW, I thought the very same. Who knew!?

[Serinde]

The next question is the definition of low loft batting for finishing decorations. I consulted Mr Google, and what came back was Vlieseline H250/305, which seems very, well, stiff. I guess I thought it was to give the decoration a bit of 3-d-ness, but perhaps I have that wrong. Any suggestions?

[Mabel Figworthy]

"low loft batting" to me suggests something not too puffy, but not too stiff either. For some ornaments I have used something that feels quite soft and almost fleecy, like a very soft and very slightly fluffy felt, but I can't remember what it's called! It's a medium weight. I'll see if I can find out.

I have also asked Mary Corbet, as it is for her wreaths, and am awaiting a reply.

Got a reply from MC, which was helpful. Just waiting for delivery.

In the meantime, Christmas preparations go on. I have worked out the middle size of star, and will make it just as soon as I get done with the Nancy Nicholson cat ornament... (of course, they need their hangers and the beads are much shinier...)

I like those, simple and effective

And who can resist a Christmas Cat?

[wendywombat]

Now that is Really Special!!

All your little felt creations have been wonderful.....
But that Christmas Cat is just The Best.
so far

The answer to your question is obviously "no-one" - he's lovely!
