On Saturday, late in the afternoon, my 2nd box for this year from Island Batik arrived. It's my newest love-you'll see why in the photos!
As an Island Batik Ambassador we are given 2 boxes of the most delicious fabric that we use in our monthly challenges. It was like they were reading my mind as lately I was hoping I would get some gorgeous purples and teal and boom here it is in 2.5" strips with coordinating yardage!! And don't you just love the new checkerboard batik that will be out this fall. It's cute name is Check it Out.
A 17 pound box, that's a whole lot of fabric.
There was a fabulous 10" stacker set of brown, black and gold, 5 yards of Custard neutral and some black, grey and white solids-I didn't even know they had solids!
And Hobbs also sent along batting for us, which is just super wonderful. There is a wool one, a wool/cotton blend and also a cotton one. Thank you Hobbs!
And we are not done yet, more fabric to be seen!! Another 10" stacker, these are Paisley Dot, I have used these before in the 2.5" strips and also in Fat Eighths. So fun and bright. Also a set of half yard cuts of blenders. Are we spoiled or what---I love being spoiled, LOL OMG even Auriful sent along more thread, there are small spools of several different weights for us to play with. Thanks Aurifil!
Nope I am still not done showing you what they sent... Oh wait it's a surprise, I can't show you yet. BUT you can come back and see what I make with it in January. It is fabric being released at Fall Market so in January our projects will be made with the surprise fabrics for a big blog hop. It is exciting!!!
Thank you Island Batik for all the wonderful fabrics and for treating us like Queens!! I love being an Ambassador and hope to continue doing it:)
Linking with my favorite Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday linky parties that you can find on my left side bar.
Wow! Talk about a happy mail day! It is fun being spoiled and it looks like those companies are doing a great job of it for you Vicki. That check print is fabulous! Looking forward to seeing what you create with all your new goodies!
ReplyDeleteGreat fabrics
ReplyDeleteA big box of beautiful fabric - you'll have fun with that! I've never used wool batting either, so I'll be interested in how you like it.
ReplyDeleteThat check board batik is sure tempting for this non-batik quilter!
ReplyDeleteAwesome Vicki, just awesome. Can't think of anyone better than you to make some fabulous items from those wonderful fabrics. Look forward to seeing your masterpieces!
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Vicki! Oh, I love, LOVE, l.o.v.e that new Check It Out fabric! How fun to receive all this goodness in the mail. It will be hard to decide what to make and use first! Happy Monday! ~smile~ Roseanne
ReplyDeleteWow! What an assortment. You will have lots and lots of fun creative projects to make. I am jealous.
ReplyDeleteI follow a few of you Island Batik Ambassadors and I am going to apply this year too. I hope I get a chance at becoming one too. It looks like so much fun! I better get cracking on using up a lot of my fabric now just in case so I have room for the goodies.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great box of goodies. know you will make some marvelous stuff! Have fun. I haven't heard of the wool cotton blend of Hobbs. I think I'll do a little research... I really like the fabs in the first photo. It might be time I do something with my batiks. Enjoy.
ReplyDeleteGreat box of fun stuff!! cant wait to see what all you will make with it!
