I am excited that I made the cut for 2024. I am one of the 26 brand ambassadors selected by Island Batik. This is where I show off my newest fabrics and supplies generously provided by Island Batik and other industry partners include Schmetz Needles, Deb Tucker's Studio 180 Designs, Hobbs Batting, Oliso Smart Iron and Funky Friends Factory.

Thanks to a generous supply of Solid Neutrals in Black, White and Light Grey, we always have plenty of background options. They also make perfect backings.

My box also included six yards of Platinum - a light grey perfect for background and backings.
I also received 12 half yard cuts from Island Batik Foundations. These include four solids, four basics and four blenders. Island Batik Foundations are available all year round.

Stash Builders are a set of 5" wide strips, 20 per pack. They are the perfect resource to make a scrappy quilt and easily lend themselves into 2.5" strips, 5" squares and more.
My box came with two precuts from the Island Batik Basics regrouped into the Gradations - Brilliant Blues and Tantalizing Teals.

The fabrics are beautiful! I've had an Oliso iron for years. I love it but I never use water in it, I use a spray bottle. I'm looking forward to seeing all the lovely quilts you make this year, happy stitching!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, what a beautiful grouping of fabrics to use. I look forward to seeing all the fabulous quilts and projects you made. And wow, an Oliso professional iron? That's a really awesome industry partner!
ReplyDeleteSuch deliciousness!! I look forward to seeing what you create in 2024.
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine opening a box like like that!! Such beautiful batiks!! And I got the Oliso Smart Iron For Christmas and I love it!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lot of fabric! and a lot of fun to come. xx
ReplyDeleteOh my! That is almost overwhelming. I have made a few quilts with batiks that were part of my LQS BOMs but I have never bought batiks specifically for a pattern of my own. I do like how the quilts turn out but I just don't get a vision for anything when I see batiks on a shelf. After seeing this load of batiks, I am certainly interested in seeing what you do with them. They are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your beautiful collections, looking forward to seeing what you make.
ReplyDeleteSuch gorgeous fabrics and wonderful colors. Looking forward to seeing your creations this year.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful box of goodies and I do love the corlorways you received!
ReplyDeleteOooooooooooooh, soooo pretty! 'Monarch' is so you. And I look forward to your travels with your doxie (dog pattern)! Can't wait to see what you make with all those riches.
ReplyDeleteWow, you got some pretty colors in your box! So fun!
ReplyDeleteWhat gorgeous collections! So hard to choose a favorite because I really love them all. You'll make great things with them I know. Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss. https://www.inquiringquilter.com/questions/2024/01/24/wednesday-wait-loss-364
ReplyDeleteHi Preeti, those all sound amazing. Congrats on being an Ambassador once more. It's a lot of work but you'll be well supplied! Thanks for sharing your box with us at Free Motion Mavericks 😀
ReplyDeleteOh that is fantastic! What an absolute treasure trove of goodies - I will look forward to seeing all that you create; those Breezy fabrics are divine!
ReplyDeleteWhat a bunch of fabulous items! Can't wait to see what you do with them. I may get an oliso myself, I do have a birthday this year! Happy Sewing.
ReplyDeleteYour fabric and accessories are only exceeded by the exciting plans you have for 2024. What fun you will have. Ann at FretNotYourself
ReplyDeleteThank you for taking up close and personal pictures of the latest goodies you received. I'm salivating. Looking forward to seeing the various projects you make with them.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great bunch of fabrics, Preeti!! I'll be looking forward to seeing all you will create. I'm particularly interested in your review of that pattern from Funky Friends Factory, as I've got one of their patterns set aside to make "one of these days."
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful bunch of fabric, Preeti! You know my favorite is that deep purple leaf. I think I need some of that! LOL
ReplyDeleteYou lucky girl, you! I love my Oliso iron because it has auto shutoff, but with a much longer 30 minutes before it shuts off so if I sit down to chain piece, my iron is still hot when I get up to press my seams. And the Hobbs Tuscany 80/20 Cotton/Wool blends is one of my favorites! I am looking forward to seeing all of your ambassador projects this year, but ESPECIALLY the little dachshund toy!
ReplyDeleteWhat a glorious bunch of fabric. It'll be fun to jump into each project. Hope you continue to have fun with all your goodies.
ReplyDeleteI love the Studio 180 rulers! And oooh, such gorgeous fabric.
ReplyDeleteHow bright and fun are all your amazing fabrics! What fun you will have creating the amazing quilts you will make!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, a lot of marvels! I love this Breezy collection, the Monarch too is so very beautiful. You are going to sew gorgeous projects!
ReplyDeleteBig congrats on being an ambassador again! And I am sure it was a lot of fun unpacking all your new treasures :) xo
