I’d love to show you my 2021 quilting year in review. What a year it was for me! To start off, I was chosen as one of Island Batik’s 24 brand ambassadors. We got shipments loaded with fabrics and other products from industry partners over the months. Even after a year, I have to ...

As in the last two years, I am joining in the Patterns by Jen monthly color challenge. Pink is what the October block for the color challenge is. The fruit that inspired it was a grapefruit. I call it pretty in pink and I went with a softer hue to go with my gray and white background. I have ...
For the tenth Island Batik ambassador project we were asked to make a project using one of the 2021 Aurifil endangered species color builder sets. I was delighted when I saw which set I got. It was the one with 3 beautiful tones of blue/greens. The hard part of this project (for me at least) ...
When the opportunity to join in a fun quilting event comes up, I jump at the chance. When this one from Tammy Silvers of Tamarinis came up for her new fabric line Peacock Plumes, I knew right away that I was up for the challenge. This year I am an Island Batik Ambassador and for my September ...
