Yes indeed, Hobbs it is. I got it from http://www.batt-mart.com/site/490194= /product/HBF-WLBY-108-ROLL
The shipped it out right away and it arrived in good shape. Couldn't
have been happier with the service.

Howdy!
I ordered the big roll of Hobbs Heirloom 80/20 from them,
urged by our Karen/Queen of Squishies. Wonderful to have that roll of
batting just waiting for me; less waste when I can cut just what I want.
Batt-Mart got it here w/in a couple of days [shipped from the factory
in Waco ;-) ].
Ah, to quilt!

I have a couple of rolls of various battings up in the attic just
waiting, like you. I buy the largest size, even though I don't do any
king sized quilts, but I use the cutoffs for small projects and the
total quilt budget is less, doing it that way.
