Hey hive mind, this is driving me insane because the internet is not being helpful!

I'm looking at batting for a quilt.
Can anyone tell me if 160g/sqm is high or low loft?

And does anyone know of a weight chart?

Thank you in advance!

I won’t cross pollinate much (don’t want to say never), but I wanted to share this.

My pictorial imagination is limited, and learning about Aphantasia... it explained so much for me. Especially concerning spatial reasoning and sewing.
So I'm fascinated, what happens in your imagination when you read/ plan things out?

I'll try and get a better pic for the colours when the weather improves, but it is not this day!

Please tag me if you do make it 🙏

This week I tried a magnolia petal, watched gambling horses, walked to an errand through muddy fields, made a book cover for a book I'm near the end of the 3rd first draft with, and finished sewing my first skirt!

I now have 2 chocolate cakes waiting for icing!
It's been a lovely week

did you know magnolia flowers taste like ginger?#food #foraging

I err, used sharpie to cover a knitting mistake in my colour-work (black and blue)
I would have unpicked, but by the time I noticed it would have been days of work for such a small problem.
But the sharpie worked! I can now no longer see my mistake :D

I just have bags that I stash my current wip in. It helps that I'm a one project at a time gal... well, I say that. Also writing, and sometimes also drawing. The shrapnel of one hobby can go far enough, but add in more and well, it can get out of hand real quick XD

Lads, hot chocolate with a spoonful of cocoa, a drop of vanilla, and a bit of cinnamon!

You can just have the cocoa, but I find that too bitter. It tastes and smells SO GOOD!

Ok peeps, am bitten by the curiosity bug; What are you making at the moment?

I'm making progress on my LOTR cat blanket, although I had to frog 31 rows so I could redesign the lower branches.

Had to frog 31 rows because I didn't like the look of the tree branches and had a redesign... Eh well.#Knitting

I got tired of trying to find relevant videos for everything I need to learn for #sewing so I got ‘The Sewing Book by Alison Smith’, and omg it looks amazing!

I’ve never before found a book that promises to teach you everything you need to know and actually delivers in a coherent way.

Seriously, if you’re learning to #sew this is the book.
Other half’s mum (a well seasoned sewer) looked through this and said “I wish I’d had this all those years ago.”
