I am beyond excited to announce that I am one of the 2019 Island Batik Ambassadors!!!! Many of the blogs I follow are written by people who have been Island Batik Ambassadors for a year or more. I love seeing the monthly challenges and how each person did something so different with the same theme and sometimes the exact same fabrics.
When the call for applications for 2019 came out I decided to apply. Batiks are my first love, fabric wise. While I don’t use solely batiks these days, I’m still drawn by the colors and designs in batik fabrics and that’s usually my favorite section of a quilt shop. Island Batik has such beautiful colors and patterns that the idea of getting to make something with the lovely fabrics *every month* is just so exciting!

I cannot begin to say how honored and thrilled I am to be a part of this program for 2019! My first challenge project is done, but I'm currently in Oregon with family and didn't get to take photos before I left, so you'll have to wait until the second half of the month to see it. In the meantime, visit some of the other 2019 Island Batik Ambassadors!
