It's the last day of the Four Seasons Island Batik blog hop. I hope you all have been hopping along and have been inspired by all my fellow Island Batik ambassadors. If not you still have time to catch up, but do it quickly!!! There is a full list of participating blogs on the Island Batik blog found HERE. There are lots of giveaways happening so be sure to read all the way to the bottom of my post!
This week we are representing Fall. The bundle Island Batik sent me is Northern Woods. I love fall, the beautiful colors, leaves gently falling, and pumpkin pie! You can see the full line of Northern Woods HERE.
I was in the mood to make flying geese, and make them I did! I used many of the colors in the line making them into a new table runner for the coffee table in our living room.
For the piecing and quilting I used Aurifil thread that was given to us along with the fabrics.
But of course I wasn't going to stop with just that one little project. Our couch needed a new pillow too. I haven't made a pillow in a long time, it was fun to do something different.
They look so good together!
Nope I still wasn't ready to be done with these gorgeous Batiks so I decided to make another runner-one can never have too many, right?
Ok now I am done with the runners, but I wanted to use these beautiful greens in the same bundle. So a new purse was born-
This ends my second year of being an ambassador, thanks Island Batik for believing in me and for sending me all this delicious fabric!! So excited to be starting the third year and anxiously awaiting the new box of fabric soon:)

My favorite thing about fall is all the beautiful, rich colors!
ReplyDeleteI love all your great projects, especially the flying geese.
What’s not to love? The weather is better, the colors are colorful and the pumpkin designs are everywhere! My favorite season.
ReplyDeleteYour beautiful geese are flying and rightly so with the great awesome colors of those fabrics.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful finishes, Vicki. I especially like the flying geese runner and pillow. Congrats! on being chosen ambassador again. You come up with such wonderful projects.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite thing about fall is that usually summer is so hectic and I spend a lot of time outdoors. Fall usually brings a sense of calm and things wind down so that life can be enjoyed at a slower pace. akronne17@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteOh wow! I love these colours,the cushion and table runners are just divine. They look stunning together 💕
ReplyDeleteWow, you've really been busy! They all look good! My favorite things about fall are the cooler temps, pretty leaves, and no mosquitoes!
ReplyDeleteLove your finishes and the colors.
ReplyDeleteLove your pillow. The quilting looks so perfect!
ReplyDeleteTwo tablerunners + pillow + bag = AMAZING!!!! Sew cute, Vicki!!!
ReplyDeleteWow Vicki, I thought but of course she wouldn't stop at just one runner...by the end of seeing all the gorgeous stuff you made I was chuckling! Do you sleep?! My favourite thing about Fall, now that I love it again, since we moved so much further south, is the riot of colour, and the slow warm days, and the crickets and katydids, the sometimes crisp nights...all of which we did not have in Alberta, where Fall is super-quick and super-brown and cold very suddenly!
ReplyDeleteWOW awesome projects! they are great
ReplyDeleteI love that the weather starts to get cooler in the fall. And the colors. Beautiful table runner!
ReplyDeleteWhat a busy gal you've been - so many projects. Loved how you quilted the pillow; it really showcased the flying geese. Because of the use of those greens in your purse, it looked like a seamless graduated fabric. Fall is my favorite season; there is something about the air in fall that seems intoxicating.
ReplyDeleteYou sure were on a roll. All your projects are wonderful but I think my favourite is the flying geese runner. Thanks for sharing. Fall is my favourite season. I love the colours, smells and crisp air. Listening to the hundreds of thousands of geese fly over our home on their migration south makes the season special.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite thing about fall is the warm days and cool nights - it’s probably the nicest time of year where I live.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! Look at all those fantastic quilty things! I love the pillow! Those batiks are lovely!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great fall collection you have made! Bet you can't wait for the season, so you can enjoy them in your home. Everything about fall is my favourite .... the weather, the colours, the harvest, fall fairs, and more!
ReplyDeleteForgot to say how much I appreciate your sharing your Island Batik Bounty with your readers! Thank You!
DeleteYou have made some really beautiful projects. I really love them all.
ReplyDeleteI like Fall because of the beautiful colors and cooler weather. Thank you for the giveaway.
Love the projects your made! My favorite things about fall are the changing colors of the leaves, the scent of the air and the change in temperature. (Not a big fan of hot summers!)

First of all, I LOVE your projects! You used that collection well! I love fall because of the luscious, rich colors of the leaves. I love to take a ride in the 'stang with the top down on a sunny fall day and inhale the beauty! Thanks for the opportunity to win.
ReplyDeleteFall has a special smell, a briskness enters the air. The golden color of the leaves also are a favorite thing.I so admire your craftiness.

ReplyDeleteANYTHING Pumpkin flavored! After a long, hot summer, I love the cooler temps, and getting to wear a light sweater. I could use these batiks for a girls group home quilt I'll be making this summer. I decided last night to use batiks.
ReplyDeleteI love the colors of fall, the golden yellows, chestnut browns, and burnt oranges. It's colors of the leaves that excite me the most about fall.

I love the variety of projects you made. They all look great. My favourite thing about fall, besides the leaves turning colour, is Halloween. :)Thanks for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteilove everything about fall, the crisp air, the hint of winter, the colors, the starting of "warm" foods, new beginnings, [ prfobably left 0ver from when fall meant new notebooks and shoes for school!], just allof it.
ReplyDeleteHi Vicki,
ReplyDeleteWell aren't you quite creative with those batiks?! I LOVE the table runners - at first I thought my fav was the geese, but the second one is great too. And the pillow - it really sets off your couch nice and matches so well. It looks nice and comfy and homey. I'm glad you are an ambassador for another year! ~smile~ Roseanne
My favorite part of fall is all the colors. I just wish we had trees here in west Texas that changed color.
ReplyDeleteI love everything about fall, the colors, the weather, football season, etc. All except the "winter is coming" part! Your projects are gorgeous, I especially like the flying geese runner.
ReplyDeletePretty fall projects. I like the colors of the season. 24Tangent@gmail.com

ReplyDeleteVicki, your projects are fabulous! I love anything made with flying geese, and they are especially pretty in the beautiful fall color scheme you have. Thanks for the nice giveaway!
ReplyDeleteGreat job with all your projects. I like how your flying geese veer off the table runner instead of just going straight like expected.
ReplyDeleteDown here in Florida Fall is a bit different. For us, I love that the humidity eases a bit and we can start going outside more often. For everyone else, I love the changing leaves, cool weather, hay rides, and corn mazes just to name a few.
I like the cooler temps fall brings. Your table runners are great.
ReplyDeleteFor me Fall is cooler weather and lots of hiking! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteOh my you have been busy! Such wonderful projects all of them. You Re really a creative lady to make all those wonderful items.

Thanks for sharing the giveaway.

ReplyDeleteLove all your projects! Well done!
ReplyDeleteYour post just kept getting better and better with more projects. They are all beautiful. My favorite thing about fall is that it is apple season and with 12 trees we usually have lots of apples to eat fresh, make into pie, cider, smash into sauce, and dry into rings. kthurn(at)bektel(dot)com
ReplyDeleteAll of your projects are beautiful! My favorite thing about fall is the beautiful colors on the trees.
ReplyDeleteFall for me means apples. Lots of apples. I love them. Jmikebalou (at) aol (dot) com

My favorite thing about fall is all the beautiful colors. Thanks for the chance at these beautiful fabrics.
ReplyDeleteOoh, I LOVE flying geese for a Fall theme -- perfect! My favorite thing about Fall is that it's the fresh start of a new school year, with brand new notebooks, fresh, sharp pencils, brand new erasers and new teachers and classes. In the Fall, I'm thinking "Maybe THIS is the year my sons will get their acts together and figure out how to get all of their work done AND turned in on time?" Because right now, in February, I'm feeling like those musicians who kept playing music on the Titanic while they watched it sink! Ah, teenage boys!!! That's why Mommy deserves so much FABRIC!
ReplyDeleteAfter the super hot Louisiana summer, the cooler temperatures of fall are delightful. My favorite thing about fall is the sounds - geese honking as they fly high over head, leaves rustling asvthe fly with the wind, and children playing outside after school to name a few.
ReplyDeleteUp in Illinois I love the beautiful fall colors.. But 4 years ago, we moved to Alabama. Here I enjoy the weather. Nancy A: rangerer@sbcglobal.net
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I LOVE Flying Geese, so you can be sure I am planning to make something like this for my dining room.
ReplyDeleteOnce I moved to the Pacific Northwest, I learned to love so many things about autumn: the scents, the amazing colors, the change in temperatures, the birds flying overhead.
ReplyDeleteSo wonderfully creative to have those flying geese make a turn instead of just double straight lines. Love it! My favorite fall moments are seeing the brilliant yellows and reds of the leaves against a stunningly blue autumn sky.
ReplyDeleteYou have really did many lovely things with the batik-fabrics and also your quiltings are very nice!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite thing about fall is the cooler weather and Halloween festivities.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the table runner . . . so simply lovely!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite thing about fall is the color scheme -- all those lovely yellows, golds, and oranges!
Love all of your projects...talk about getting a lot out of your fabric, I think you did it.
ReplyDeleteFall in Socal is not much different than summer, except for the Liquid Amber trees - beautiful red leaves
ReplyDelete♥ Beautiful projects ♥
ReplyDeleteI love looking up on the mountains and seeing pockets of yellow, orange and red amidst the evergreen trees. Your projects are all fabulous! Flying geese are one of my favorites!!
ReplyDeleteLove the table runners!
