The application for being an ambassador was sent out in Dec. and we started received our goodies in January. And let me tell you they are GOODIES! Yes I just shouted, because it deserves shouting about.There are the 5" strips of stash builders, lots of the solid grey, black and white-yes they make solid batiks! A 10" stack of rainbow batiks with yardage of two coordinating prints. A blender stack, a gorgeous rayon scarf, 2 yards of a rayon for a shirt perhaps. And a nice yardage amount of sprinkles!! My favorite background fabric;) Also there are Island Batik pins!
In the picture below you see two wrapped packages, those are our secret bundles that we will use later this summer to showcase newly released fabrics from Spring Market. So be sure to follow along so you get to view them during the big blog hop that is either in August or September.
In addition to Island Batik providing us with wonderful fabrics, they partner with Hobbs Batting and Aurifil Thread. What a fantastic variety of battings. I use Hobbs 80/20 all the time and love it. But it will be so fun to experiment with their other battings. You see the bag of Aurifil thread in the pic above. There are some different weights in there, it will be fun to use them in a monthly challenge.
I had been looking at accuquilt machines but I just couldn't commit and when we discovered we were receiving a machine, dies, 8"cube etc. I just couldn't believe it!! There might have been a little shouting and happy dancing going on that day.
Thank you Island Batik, Hobbs Batting, Aurifil and Accuquilt for your generosity. It is much appreciated and will be so fun to continue to rise to the challenge each month. You can meet all of the Island Batik Ambassadors right HERE.
I hope you all are having a great week, I know I am!!!!

ReplyDeleteI am drooling at all that lovely brightness and saturated color in your batik box! YUM!! And I can't believe they sent an Accuquilt for you all! THAT IS WONDERFUL! I cannot wait to see what creations you come up with this year. Are there any requirements on how you are to use the Accuquilt?
