Here's a detailed look at all the fun stuff! First, the goodies from the generous industry partners.
From Hobbs there are two king-sizes cotton battings from their Heirloom Collection. From Aurifil, there are two of their new color builders, named after cities of Italy. Each color builder includes 3 large spools of 50 weight thread in the same color family. I got the blue set, Como, and the black/white set, Carrara. From Schmetz there are two packs each of their Chrome microtex needles and their super nonstick needles. And from Accuquilt, a Hattie's Choice BOB die. BOB stands for Block on Board meaning you cut out the entire block in one pass through the Go cutter.
Whew! And that's before we get to the fabric! Here are the beauties I received from Island Batik.
Wow! First, there is a half yard bundle of Catching Dreams, a Fall 2019 collection designed by Kathy Engle for Kari Nichols of Mountainpeek Creations. I'll be using this collection in February for a blog hop featuring all of the fall collections. I also received two yards each of a dark and a light fabric from the collection.

Next there is a strip pack of Sunset Blooms, designed by Kathy Engle for Chris Hoover of Whirligig Designs. Both Catching Dreams and Sunset Blooms are Fall 2019 collections; precuts are available now and yardage ships to shops in February. Island Batik recently updated their Store Locator so you can find a shop near you that carries their fabrics.

As if all that wasn't enough, there is also 2 yards of lovely rayon in Iris Paisley.

And TWO sets of Stash Builder strips! I didn't get a separate picture of these but they are in the photo of all the goodies. Stash Builder strips are 5" by WOF and they are so versatile!
Just in case you think that I am the only one in my house who enjoys the fun that these ambassador boxes bring, here is the box being used as a toy. My son loved to play hide and seek with this box!
So that, friends, is what 28 pounds of amazingness looks like! I can't wait to show you what I've started to make with these beautiful fabrics. Thanks again to Island Batik for this opportunity, and to Accuquilt, Aurifil, Hobbs, and Schmetz for the chance to play with their products!
