 November’s theme for Island Batik ambassadors is TOOL TIME! no…. not Tim the tool-man Taylor! but a quilting tool!! I wrecked my brain and also asked about what is a considered a tool.

Were any of you at quilt market? I’ve never been but always yearn to do it when the time rolls around each year (twice) though I’ve heard the fall one is the best one…. I’ve shown these quilts before but here’s 3 quilts I made with new patterns and Island Batik fabrics! These were hanging …
