It is named after the city of Dresden in Germany, where it was first popularized.  Our Island Batik Challenge for November 2024 was to create a lap-sized or larger quilt. We…

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

Adventurous Applique by Aurifil Thread!

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
