This post reviews all of my 2017 finishes, including my Island Batik Ambassador projects. Here's a collage of some of my favorites!
While I won't start plotting about my plans for 2018's projects until I get my Ambassador box in February, don't forget that starting next week is the semi-annual Island Batik blog hop featuring us Ambassadors -- this hop has a Four Seasons theme! My quilt is scheduled for next week and is a winter themed fabric line. I can't wait to show it to you and start finalizing the pattern, which I think you will love!
Until then, I wanted to do a little Thank You giveaway for all of my wonderful friends and followers to kick off the new year! Despite making a project and doing a giveaway just about every month, I don't feel like I've made a dent in what they sent me! As a reminder, here are pictures of what I received in my two Ambassador boxes:
I'll send the winner a flat rate envelope stuffed with fabric! Giveaway will close on Sunday, January 7th and I'll update this post with the winner!
Have a wonderful Wednesday! After work I'll be locking myself back in my sewing room to finish up a baby quilt!
Blues are my favorite, the lighter and brighter the better
