The Quilter's Dream Story:

"From the very beginning, Quilters Dream decided to produce high-quality products and nothing less. They introduced Quilters Dream Cotton at Charlotte Quilt Spring Market in the mid-1990’s, a new type of high quality 100% cotton batting unlike any other. The response from shop owners, professional quilters, and teachers was incredible!   They found the quilters were waiting for this quality and they grew rapidly by word-of-mouth.
Originally named “Quilters Cotton, they inspired by a well-known teacher and hand quilter who swooned, “This just quilts like a dream,” so they soon changed the name to Quilters Dream Batting and added their tag line, “Quilts Like a Dream!” - Quilter's Dream Website.

All of the Quilters Dream Battings are hand cut and hand inspected to insure superb quality consistency. Quilters Dream does not sell to big box chain stores and always encourage their customers to support their locally owned quilt shop or quilting business! Like us!

Quilters Dream Poly was introduced at the Houston Quilt Market in October, 1999, followed in turn by all of their other battings.
They now offer 10 different battings and
