June’s theme for Island Batik ambassadors is “TRY IT” Meaning that we have to try a new technique! Well…… hmmm I did do the reverse applique technique that was a new technique for me, but otherwise I’ve been scratching my head about something “new” I could try a new template, a new Accuquilt die, a …
This month’s challenge for Island Batik was “Modern” A modern quilt often has a lot of negative space So I was brainstorming and of course I always think “Accuquilt” and then I thought of ONE block in the different QUBE sizes, so 6″, 8″, 9″, 10″ and 12″ all those added together equals 45″. The …

Recently when I was sorting thru my batiks for the last Blog hop for this year’s ambassadors (Blog hop in January) I realized I had put a pack of 2 1/2” strips and matching yardage in the same box that I didn’t touch since I pretty much got the fabrics this summer. This fabric line …
