As an Island Batik Ambassador, we are given fabrics and other tools and are required to do a monthly project. This was a month that I had been both looking forward to, as well as was a a little nervous about. This was the month for the Island Batik Bag with By Annie project. Earlier in the year ...
The Island Batik Ambassadors made bags with a pattern from byAnnie for our September 2021 project. We were able to choose the fabric and pattern we wanted. I love the way my “Switchback” backpack turned out and was lucky enough to have a little bit extra of the fabric. I decided to ...

It is time for my second blog hop as an Island Batik Ambassador and this month it’s all about modern quilting. If you watched my unboxing video back in January, you might remember that there was a wrapped bundle that was marked as a surprise. Well the month of May is when I get to show ...
For May of 2021, the Island Batik ambassadors were given a bundle of fabrics from their newest lines and challenged to make a modern quilt with them. I was lucky enough to get the Holly Holiday line designed by Kathy Engle. This festive assortment of greens, reds, and golds shipped to stores in ...
