What Are Quilters Blogging About Today?

 I am honored and thrilled to return as an Island Batik Ambassador for the year 2025.

We received a generous shipment of fabric from Island Batik and other supplies from industry partners. 

A Very Generous Haul

Here is my Unboxing Video.

The fabrics and products are shown/described below.

Four queen sized batts from Hobbs Batting,  including 100%Wool from Tuscany, Heirloom 80/20 in Natural, Heirloom 80/20 in Black, and 100% Cotton with Scrim Binder.  

Hobbs also sent a bag of stuffing that will be used to make the soft toy from Funky Friends Factory in June.

Thank ...

I am excited that I made the cut for 2024. I am one of the 26 brand ambassadors selected by Island Batik. This is where I show off my newest fabrics and supplies generously provided by Island Batik and other industry partners include Schmetz Needles, Deb Tucker's Studio 180 Designs, Hobbs Batting, Oliso Smart Iron and Funky Friends Factory.

Angela has announced the color for August. It is Yellow :-)

I love Yellow. It is the color of warm sunshine and flavorful curries ...

Wish you a very happy 2023!

I have news. Island Batik has selected a new slate of ambassadors for 2023.  And I am honored to have made the cut.

Testing the set-up - Looking good!

I am thrilled that Island Batik selected me as one of their 25 ambassadors in 2022.  This is my second year and I knew what to expect (sort of) when the first shipment of fabric and supplies arrived at my doorstep.  And yet when I opened the two boxes, I was giddy with delight.
