Giveaway time from Island Batik!

As an Island Batik Ambassador I get to work with their amazing fabrics and, in February, all of the Ambassadors are designing their own log cabin projects and sharing them in a blog hop. While I haven’t quite finished my project yet (you’ll see it later this month), I can share a peek at the fabrics I’m working with for my design.

Island Batik “Woodstock” collection half yard bundle with coordinating fabrics and some Island Batik solids

I’m using the Woodstock collection by Kathy Engle for Canton Village Quilt Works in my first project for Island Batik. It’s a throwback to the groovy age of the 60’s and I’m really enjoying working with the vibrant colours and designs in this collection.

Here are all the fabrics in the Woodstock collection - with gummy bears as the inspiration for the fabrics.

While I’m still working on my log cabin project, several of the other Island Batik Ambassadors have finished theirs and wow, are they amazing!!! Be sure you’re following me on Facebook and Instagram as I’ll be sharing what my fellow Ambassadors have designed with the Island Batik fabrics.

Now for the fun part of the February 2024 blog hop: giveaways!

It's Christmas time once again from Island Batik!

It’s here: my first ambassador box from Island Batik!

It’s here - all 35 lbs. of it! 😁

I’ve been excitedly waiting for this box to arrive and today was the day!

I love batiks and Island Batik didn’t disappoint in the fabrics they selected and sent to me. I told them that I liked bright, bold colours and that’s just what I received.

And I received a lot more fabric and other goodies than I thought I would - which is also exciting! Thanks, Island Batik! 😀

Here’s a few photos of what was in the first Island Batik 2024 Ambassador box.

Look at all the goodies in this Island Batik Ambassador box!

Schmetz sent an assortment of needles, informational material and a lovely note!

A queen sized package of black Hobbs 80/20 batting. Halloween project anyone?! 🦇

The new TG1600 Pro Plus iron from Oliso in butterscotch - yummy!

There was so much Island Batik and sponsor goodness in my Ambassador box that a blogpost just isn’t enough to show you everything, so I’ve created a video showing you the unboxing and a closer look at what was included in the first Island Batik Ambassador box. Click on the image below to watch the video.

Now I have to find room for all these gorgeous Island Batik fabrics and start working on my first project as a 2024 ambassador! 😉 Be sure you’re following me on Facebook and Instagram so you won’t miss out on what I’ll be creating for my first project in February 2024 and all the other fun projects I’ll be creating in 2024 with Island Batik fabrics - with Salem’s help! 🤣

Thanks to the following sponsors for sending their products to me in my first Island Batik Ambassador box: Hobbs Bonded Fibers, Oliso, Schmetz Needles, Deb Tucker’s Studio 180 Design, Island Batik.

Exciting News to Start Off 2024!

I’ve been holding off on announcing some exciting news but can now let the cat out of the bag! Okay, Victor is actually in a bin but I think you get the idea! 😉

I’ve been selected to be an Island Batik 2024 Ambassador!

 I’m very excited to have been chosen as one of the Island Batik Ambassadors for this year. I’m honoured to be on the team with so many accomplished quilters.

I’ve got to admit that I’m a bit nervous about creating projects for Island Batik but it will be the perfect chance to “up my game” in 2024 and I’m looking forward to that opportunity.

Look for lots of new and spectacular projects from me and the other Island Batik Ambassadors during 2024!
