My Grandson loves markers...here he is all ready for First grade! I purposely blurred the picture for his safety.
My favorite colors today would be these aqua, teal and purple crayons.
All of us Ambassadors have been really busy preparing projects to show you using the new fabrics that were released at Spring Market. They should be in stores as we speak...ask for them!
The bundle I was given for this blog hop is called Olivera and is it ever lucious. When it arrived I could hardly contain my desire to make something with it. You see it is just my colors when it comes to a clothing item.
You might be looking for my project, well here it is. I decided to make myself a Town and Country Jacket.
I cut 2.5" x WOF for my stips. It is a QAYG project, however I chose not to use batting, that way I can also use it as a shirt if I wish. I have done a few of these jackets before so I knew exactly what size to make.
I love how it came out! I know that I will wear it often. Some day I am going to make a matching purse, but I ran out of time for now.
I think the hubster was having fun taking pictures:)
Be sure to stop at the Island Batik blog and enter to win some wonderful fabrics!!!
Also you will want to check out all the other Ambassadors blog post for their day on the hop. You can see the whole schedule HERE.

Outstanding job of matching those strips at the seams! That is always difficult for me when garment sewing.
