It hard to believe, but this is the fourth unboxing post and video I am doing as an Island Batik ambassador. What an honor it has been so far. All of us get 2 shipments a year. The boxes are filled with all sorts of goodies for us to create with. Not only is Island Batik generous with us, there ...
If you have been quilting along with me in the Cotton Cuts Sew Sweet puzzle mystery quilt, then you know how much fun it has been so far. Let’s be honest, who doesn’t love a good mystery. The sections are coming along nicely and I am getting more and more anxious to see the end ...
When I did my Island Batik Ambassador unboxing video back in January there was a surprise bundle of fabric. As soon as the cameras were turned off I opened up that package and inside was a gorgeous stack of 20 fat quarters from the new line designed by Deb Tucker’s Studio 180 Designs! For ...
I can’t believe that we are halfway through the Cotton Cuts Sew Sweet Puzzle Mystery Quilt! This has been so much fun and I’m getting anxious to see the final result. The version I am working on is the small version of the colorway called Churro and it is made with the stunning ...

When the people at Sewers Club asked me if I would be interested in reviewing their new Stash Builder Box I jumped at the chance. I love getting new fabric (don’t we all) and a subscription box is one great way to do that. I have posted a bit of information about the program in this ...
