What’s in your bag – October challenge / Tι έχεις στην τσάντα σου – πρόκληση Οκτωβρίου from Mania for Quilts

As every year, ByAnnie sent us the pattern we had chosen from her patterns that have Add-On video. She also sent us everything we need in term of materials with Island Batik sending us the fabric we had also chosen.

Οπως κάθε χρόνο, η εταιρία ByAnnie μας έστειλε ένα σχέδιο που είχαμε διαλέξει από τα σχέδιά της που έχουν συμπληρωματικό βιντεάκι. Μας έστειλε επίσης και ό,τι χρειαζόμαστε από πλευράς υλικών με τα αγαπημένα Island Batik να μας στέλνουν τα υφάσματα που είχαμε επίσης προεπιλέξει.

I chose the pattern “Courtside” and received everything in my 2nd semester’s box in ...

Adventurus Applique August Blog-hop / Μπλογκο-επισκέψεις Αυγούστου με θέμα “Περιπετειώδες Απλικέ” from Mania for Quilts

For this month’s blog hop we had to make a quilt in raw edge and glue basted technique with no fusible used. The size should be lap or larger. You may see the technique proposed here.

Για το blog hop αυτού του μήνα, έπρεπε να φτιάξουμε ένα πάπλωμα με την τεχνική της ελεύθερης άκρης και κόλλας για στερέωση, χωρίς τη χρήση θερμοκολλητικού. Το μέγεθος θα έπρεπε να είναι για ριχτάρι ή μεγαλύτερο. Μπορείτε να δείτε την προτεινόμενη τεχνική εδώ.

Creative Christmas Stocking with Island Batik from Curlicue Creations

This month's Island Batik Ambassador challenge was to make a Christmas Stocking.

I was inspired to use the Emperor's Treasures strip pack and the dark coordinate, Merlot, that I received in my Island Batik Ambassador second shipment for 2022.

Though the purples and lime green are not very traditional Christmas colors, I love the rich look of them paired with the dark purple Merlot coordinating fabric.  The first thing I did was cut 2-1/2" strips of the dark purple ...
