Here's my Island Batik Ambassador unboxing video for July 2024. Please watch to see what I received from Island Batik, Hobbs batting, Aurifil thread, and byAnnie. I will be using these items for my Island Batik Ambassador monthly challenges for the second half of 2024. See below for photos and descriptions of the items.
Disclaimer: The items in this post were given to my by Island Batik and industry sponsors Hobbs, Aurifil, and ByAnnie.
This collection is Floral Fun. It was designed by Kathy Engle, and it is a signature collection for Lizard Creek Quilting. I love the purple/green combination with hints of blue and white. It's paired with two cuts of coordinating fabric, a light and a dark. I will be using this fabric for the September blog hop. I will be creating an applique project with this fabric collection and these beautiful coordinating threads from Aurifil.
I also received this beautiful package of 10" precut squares. This collection is Bubbles, Curves, and Corners by Deb Tucker's Studio 180 Design. Aren't these colors and designs pretty? This was paired with two cuts of coordinating fabrics, one light, and one dark.
This is a half yard cut bundle of basics, blenders, and solids. What a beautiful variety. These fabrics are always available year round and coordinate wonderfully with the seasonal collections. I like the colors in this group. They are giving off a tropical vibe.
Opulent Orange 10" squares precut. Juicy and gorgeous in a range of oranges. I see cheddar, yellow, pale creamy peach, red orange, and crimson. I've used this collection before and I just love it so much.
Precious Pink 2-1/2" precut strip pack. I've used this one before too, to make a rug for my studio. I just love it so much and I'm excited to work with these fabrics again.
Two packages of Stash Builders. Each roll contains 4 strips, 5" wide x width of fabric. It's a great way to increase variety in your batik stash!
Surprise! This pretty pink wrapping contains a new Island Batik fabric collection that will be hitting quilt shops later on this year. I will be using it for my November project and will be able to show you these fabrics then.
We are partnering with ByAnnie again this year and I'm excited to make the Payday wallet/purse pattern this time around. This kit has everything needed to sew this project. I will be making this in October.
This is a six yard cut of a neutral fabric. It's a soft beige with a marbled look.
Four yard cuts of solid black, white, and dark gray.
I'm super excited with the batting selection sent by Hobbs this time. They sent all my favorites! Yay! This is the fusible batting. It's great for small projects. The last time I had this, I used every square inch!
The 80/20 Black batting is perfect for quilts with dark backgrounds. You don't have to worry about any white batting bearding through your quilt top, plus the black helps the colors to really pop!
The Thermore batting is super thin and works well for small lightweight projects, like wall hangings, table runners, and clothing.
This is hands down, my absolute favorite batting! Tuscany Collection Supreme 100% Unbleached Cotton. This batting is PLUSH! It is so soft and thick for a super cuddly quilt. I just love it.
Tuscany Collection Silk Blend. This quilts beautifully and resists fold lines in your quilts. Lovely.
