Welcome to July! I recently received my second shipment from Island Batik of Lumin Fabrics as an Island Batik Ambassador and it was chockful of lots of goodies from Island Batik and their sponsors.
I received two boxes: one full of lots of Island Batik fabrics - yardage, half yard cuts and precuts - as well as some thread from Aurifil. The second box was stuffed with batting from Hobbs Quilt Batting.
Let’s check out what I received in the first box!
When I opened it up, this is what I saw.
Box 1 full of Island Batik and Aurifil goodies
I pulled everything out and this is what was in that box! So much gorgeous fabric and thread! I can hardly wait to start creating with these fabrics which include new collections, such as Earth Essence from Kathy Engle for Quilting Renditions (Kari Nichols) and Geode Glow by Kathy Engle.
Everything in box 1
Let’s take a closer look at the various items that I received in the first box I opened. I’ve included them in a gallery below so just click the arrows to toggle between the images.
You’ll see that there are several different precuts as well as half yard bundles that will coordinate with the half yard cuts of new fabric collections that I received. I also received 4 yard bundles of black, grey and white solids that work perfectly for background fabric.
The threads that I received from Aurifil were ones that I selected to coordinate with the Geode Glow fabric collection as I’ll be using them in an upcoming Ambassador challenge.
In addition to the first box, I also received a second box which contained lots of different battings from Hobbs Quilt Batting. I love using their products and enjoy experimenting with battings which I haven’t previously used. Check out the battings that were in box 2 below
There was one additional item that was in the first box that is always fun to receive and that is the Surprise bundle. It always contains a new fabric collection and I’ll be sharing what was in that package in the future.
You can see more details on these items in the video below.
Next month I’ll be working on a new Island Batik Ambassador challenge so be sure to check back to see what I’ll be creating using some of the fabrics that I just received.
Thanks to Island Batik of Lumin Fabrics, Aurifil, and Hobbs Quilt Batting for the items that they sent me in this second shipment.
My fellow Island Batik Ambassadors will be sharing their unboxing videos this month as well so be sure to check out their blogposts below.
