Reflections is a new Island Batik collection designed by Jennifer Fulton of The Inquiring Quilter. Welcome to my stop in the Reflections Blog Hop, be sure to visit all participants for inspiration and enter for a chance to win prizes and patterns.
Did you know that green has nothing to do with St Patrick since he is shown in images wearing blue. The Irish chose the color green as a sign of rebellion to the English Crown. They would wear green shamrocks and ribbons, or a green feather in their hats.
Put your foot down 235, a weekly linky party every Thursday. Stop by and share your WIP’s, UFO’s, finishes, or any fiber arts projects.
May’s Island Batik challenge is a blog hop, so be sure to follow along for fabric and goodies giveaways. For months I’ve been debating on a design and have finally settled on one earlier this week. The collection IB sent to me for the hop is The Grove, a beautiful collection of greens and teals reminiscent of the Emerald Isle.
This month Island Batik teamed up with Funky Friends Factory to challenge the Island Batik Ambassadors. We were allowed to choose a pattern for the softie and I chose Crocodile Steve. This has been both fun and challenging. Challenging because there are a lot of curved pieces in this pattern and fun because it brought back happy times of my son growing up while stitching.
Today is my day to share in the Give It A Whirl block hop hosted by Carol from Just Let Me Quilt. Carol hosts some of the best blog hops every year including my favorite, Virtual Cookie Exchange. Thank you Carol for all you do and another great hop.
It’s that time again, the first Island Batik blog hop of the year, a lot of new fabric collections and designs to go with them. The fabric I received is Woodstock designed by Kathy Engle.
Since the word LOVE is in the hop title and it is February my project had to have hearts. I’ve been saving this Grenadine fabric from Island Batik and paired it with their white solid.
