The news went out last week to the Island Batik ambassadors that boxes went out to everyone. So of course like the impatient people we ALL are, we were all on the look out for FedEx the rest of the week. As soon as anyone got a box they showed it on FB live or …
The theme this month with Island Batik is “Oh Baby” and it’s supposed to be at least a crib sized quilt. But I decided to do something else! First I got out this pretty bundle that’s called “Abalone” I had 1/4yd of each of 12 fabrics I found these QUBE cube patterns at Accuquilt’s site …
In case you haven’t seen, I made another batik pillow with curves and had it shown on Accuquilt’s blog this weekend. I used scraps of batiks from Island Batik and then the large Double wedding ring die by Accuquilt! Instead of making a big quilt I just tried to make two wedding rings and sewed …

Did you know that Island Batik makes Rayon fabric apart from their quilting cotton?? When I first became an ambassador I realized that and asked for 3-4yd for a dress but then I was either pregnant or nursing a baby, so making a dress for myself got put on hold. UNTIL now!! I made it …
I’ve shown this top before, how I made it with the 6” QUBE set and used leftover batiks from another project I made. It’s not within the size requirements for the IB challenge, but I already made the snowflake one so I’m just showing this because I felt like it This one is 28x 40 …
The theme for Island Batik ambassadors for May was MODERN! I don’t think my normal quilts are totally modern, they are not traditional either, more of transitional! One feature of a modern quilt is a lot of negative space so I tried my hand at that or at least that was my goal. I had …
