This morning, following the links in various emails led to several encounters with white felt.
Liz Berg is into it in a big way - she seems to be immersed in industrial felt - have a look at her blog here.
Seeing the work of Rebecca Howdeshell has got me itching to stitch - she works in white on white, stitch on industrial felt, and it's anything but boring - have a look here.
Finally, in a museum in Massachusetts, a life-size white whale made of industrial felt by Tristin Lowe. Machine quilting makes the lines on its skin, and deeper lines, like scars, in some areas, and also barnacles. It is pumped with air and a fan blows to keep it upright, giving the effect of a breathing animal. I'd like to see this "in the flesh" -

Thank you, Margaret, for the lovely mention in your post on industrial felt. I've been working with it for four years now and still love the material.
