Sunflower Spice Blog Hop
Jennifer Thomas of Curlicue Creations recently introduced a new collection Sunflower Spice, designed by Jerry Khiev. When she invited me to join the blog hop, I was delighted to say yes. Jennifer Thomas sent me strips from all 20 pieces in the collection, and Island Batik provided neutral Foundation fabrics for the quilt. Both were supplied to me at no cost for this blog hop. For this…
Starry Seas Blog Hop
Welcome to Day 6 of the Blog Hop! Jennifer of Inquiring Quilter asked if I would like to join the Starry Seas Blog Hop. I was excited to dive in. I immediately opened Electric Quilt 8 looking for inspiration. It’s always fun to explore new ideas when a gorgeous fabric collection is involved. While browsing blocks, I stumbled upon a blog post from Do You EQ Monthly Projects July 2010 called…
Sunset Batik Butterfly Quilt
For the 2025 Final Island Batik Ambassador challenge is a fun one. We get to make anything we want; it is our choice. Sometimes I think this is a harder challenge than some of the other ones, because there are no guidelines. I decided to use a package of 10” squares. They are from the Spring 2025, Sunset Batik Collection, by Deb Tucker’s Studio 180 Design. The fabric and batting were given…

This blog post details the author's experience participating in the Berry Crush Blog Hop, thanks to Jennifer Thomas of Curlicue Creations. Using the vibrant Berry Crush fabric collection, the author designed and assembled a butterfly-themed wall hanging, chosen to complement existing office decor. The creative process included careful planning with Electric Quilt 8, fabric selection, and the use of an AccuQuilt butterfly die, resulting in a harmonious layout of butterfly blocks and vibrant squares. The project was finished with a Butterfly Flip pantograph quilting design and Aurifil thread, producing a bright and cheerful quilt measuring 34 1/2" square. The post concludes with acknowledgements to Jennifer Thomas for her invitation and fabric, and encourages readers to visit other talented quilters in the blog hop.
Whether you’re a seasoned sewist or just starting out, tackling a project like the Out to Lunch 2.0 Large bag is both rewarding and practical. The sense of accomplishment when you see your hand-stitched creation in daily use is unmatched—especially when it turns heads with its custom quilting and thoughtful details. This project taught me the value of using quality tools and following well-designed instructions, and I can’t recommend the By Annie patterns enough for their clarity and their supportive resources. With a bag that’s not only functional but also an expression of creativity, bringing your own lunch never felt so satisfying—or stylish!
Threaded Chaos Blog Hop: My Journey with the Crazy Quilt
This month’s Island Batik challenge is the Threaded Chaos Blog Hop, a creative adventure in partnership with Aurifil thread. My children like to call me the crazy quilt lady. Sometimes, they call me the crazy chicken lady. They declared this the perfect quilt for me. What is a Crazy Quilt? A crazy quilt is a unique form of patchwork. It is defined by its irregular shapes and bold angles. The…

The block is a very old block and can be dated back to the 1800’s. It is known by several different names. These include Drunkard’s Trail, Trail of Friendship, King Tut’s Crown, Cleopatra’s puzzle,…
Creating a Burst Block Quilt with Island Batik Fabrics
For the March 2025 Island Batik Challenge we were allowed to pick the project of our choosing. I think these challenges are actually sometimes harder to do. I have received so many different fabric lines that I have received in my role as an Island Batik Ambassador. Picking a fabric and a design is sometimes hard. I finally decided to use the “Broken Glass”. It is a Winter 22 signature…
