2024 Island Batik Ambassador Recap

I have loved the different projects I have done with Island Batik fabric.  Here is a recap of 2024 IBA! January – first unboxing video of the year!  So much great fabric, thread and batting.  This year we had a new sponsor Oliso Irons.  We received one of their Irons, and they are so nice…

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…

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…
