2nd Island Batik Ambassador Box

The 2nd Island Batik Ambassador box has arrived!  Here are the contents--


21 Fat Quarters of various beautiful batiks.  These coordinate with the Mermaid Cove collection below.



A Mermaid Cove Jelly Roll with two yards each of a coordinating light and dark.  There are Mermaids, Octopi, Seaweed, Turtle Shell, and Bubble prints.  8 coordinating half yard cuts of blenders and basics.


I am EXCITED about the Geared Up collection--STEAMPUNK motifs!  Blacks, golds, browns and neutrals.  8 half yard cuts of coordinating blenders and basics, two yards each of a light and a dark.  A Layer Cake of different prints.  Ahhh!  I love the colors!


Island Batik also sends backgrounds--4 yards each of white, black, gray, and vanilla.  Aurifil is a Ambassador partner and included four 1422 yard spools--Bubble Gum pink variegated, Peachy Coral, Chocolate brown, and a cream.  Aurifil is the BEST thread.  Long staple Egyptian cotton and hardly any lint when you sew. 

Hobbs is also an Island Batik Ambassador partner.  They sent a queen size 80/20 batting and two throw size battings, one 100" wool and one 80/20 with wool.  You can never go wrong using Hobbs batting!  I'm looking forward to using the wool ones. 

Nature surrounds me.   This turkey hen was in the shade underneath the tree, she has nine chicks.   I fill a small plastic bucket with water for them to drink.   She tolerates me taking pictures through the window but leaves if I come outside.  

Although its August the weather is nice.  Overcast and 71F.   A bit muggy but it is August.
