In case you didn’t see it yet, I have a quilt in Island Batik’s fall 17 catalog on page 26 it’s called Bird Watching and measures 60” x 60” fabrics used are called Autumn’s Grace and they are just gorgeous! (should be in stores soon) You can buy the pattern in my craftsy store amongst …
remember I bought this pattern at a quilt show last month? When I posted it here on my blog, Vicki –a fellow blogger and island batik ambassador said she had it too and was going to use it for the QAYG themed project for this month (as her 2nd project) so we kind of had …

I’ve been totally jealous of looking at pictures from Quilt Market, but as you know I have a few quilts with Island Batik at their booth PLUS some funky friends who’s been a secret until now! This is Ellie the Blue Elephant! I love how it/he/she sits. I love the ears and the teeth. I …
