Create Stunning Table Runners Using Studio 180 Rulers

The February 2025 Island Batik Challenge is to create a Table Runner or a Bed Runner. We must use the Studio 180 Designs ruler that we were sent.  I received the “Corner Beam” ruler.  You can make multiple different size blocks with the ruler. The ruler helps you create the perfect size every time.  You cut the pieces a little larger, and then trim them down to the correct size.  This helps…

Don’t mind me. Just alittle past quilting! This quilt has been dropped off and is living its best life with its owner. I am slower than a dang turtle but when they are done… they are good! I have quilted this quilt before for local shop. I had shingles in my left eye while I worked on that one… this one might be better because I could actually see. LOL! I have loved this quilt for a long time. I am glad I got to see one again! #lisascreativequilting #lisaarndt #innovalongarm #innovalongarmfmq #glidethread #hobbsinside #hobbs8020 #quiltsofinstagram #appliquequilt #machineapplique #myclientsarethebest (at Wesley Chapel, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTC9XQanSCh/?utm_medium=tumblr

Jelly Roll Rug

For the last Island Batik Challenge of 2024, “It’s all up to you”! I love the challenges where I pick what I want to make. Sometimes that makes it harder, as I have to pick a project and the fabric. I reviewed what was left from my 3 years as an Island Batik Ambassador. I noticed two Fusible Batting Strips packages from Hobbs Batting. I decided to figure out something that would use these. After…

Adventurous Applique by Aurifil Thread!

This month’s Island Batik challenge is a little different that I normally quilt. We were to try Raw Edge Applique. I really have not done any applique on my sewing machine. I have done some with the embroidery machine, so this was going to be a challenge. I received a 1/2-yard bundle of Flower Pot. It is a Signature collection by Kathy Engle for Jennifer Fulton of Inquiring Quilter. The fabric…

2024 Island Batik Ambassador Mini-Quilt Challenge: Tips and Techniques

The Island Batik Ambassador challenge for August 2024, was to make a mini quilt. A quilt between 12″ x 24″ to 24″ x 24″. I loved the quilt that I made in July and decided to make the quilt as a mini quilt. While that seems like it should be easier, but it is actually more work. A little off on a quarter seam, is a big difference on a small quilt than a larger quilt. I decided to use the same…

Mini-Rhombus Quilt Tutorial: Using Island Batik Fabrics and Missouri Star Quilt Co. Templates

A few years ago (2014) I made a quilt for my husband, and he loved it.  It was one of the first quilts that I had made.  Quilted with straight lines from top to bottom of quilt.  (Didn’t really take pictures back then). Over a year ago, he got a puppy, Hollie, a Rottweiler/Pit Bull mix.  She was about 10 weeks old when we adopted her from the local shelter.  When my husband would go to work, she…
