...New home for historical patterns...

Once they were printed on the inside of Mountain Mist batting wrappers, but the company's historic patterns--mostly developed in the 1930s and '40s--are now available from the Fabric Shack in Waynesville, Ohio. The quilt shop was selected as the fulfillment center for the traditional applique and pieced patterns after the Mountain Mist product line and brand name were purchased by Buffalo Batt, a division of Leggett & Platt, Inc. Contact the Fabric Shack at P.O. Box 517, Waynesville, OH 45068; 513-897-0092; info@fabricshack.com; website www.fabricshack.com.
