Island Batik - The Unboxing

There is a first time for everything, right?  This is my first attempt at making a video. 

I hope that what I lack in production quality and overall appeal is balanced (somewhat) by my genuine excitement.

Well, according to Blogger, my video exceeds their size limit (yes even after cropping and reducing file size). Insert raspberry here. 

You may view it on my Facebook page here.  Here are a few highlights from the Box.


Full of goodies




This gorgeous bundle contains 20 fabrics, 1/2 yard of each, which I am using in the February Blog Hop challenge. The post will go live on February 1, 2021.  See more pictures below.  Autumn Sunset ships to stores in February 2021.

I also received a separate shipment containing the Accuquilt Ultimate Fabric Cutting System with all the standard supplies, a GO cutting mat and the Snails Trails Die.  All this is brand new to me. I am excited and a bit apprehensive. 






The Island Batik and Accuquilt challenge will come later in the year. For now I must focus all my energies on the February Blog Hop Challenge. Won't you revisit on February 1, 2021?
