2025 Island Batik Ambassador - Unboxing 2

July is the time when the Island Batik Ambassadors celebrate Christmas! We have just received our second shipment of supplies and they did not disappoint. 

Here is the Unboxing Video

It is all about the supplies. I am losing my looks and the fabric gets prettier every year :-D


The Bounty



In September, we will be making a Crazy Quilt. I will be using the Everlasting Collection designed by Jerry Khiev. This collection will be in stores in September 2025.

Dark & Light Yardage to Match



Of course, we need threads to make a Crazy Quilt. Aurifil supplied the following four spools - one for piecing (50wt) and three for quilting (40 wt).

  5. It's always fun to see what you receive from IB for your next set of projects, Preeti! I know you'll be making amazing things. I've used the Hobbs fusible batting for some recent projects. I'll be interested to hear what you think of it!
