Island Batik's Tool Talk blog hop

For most of the month of September, Island Batik and their ambassadors will be showing off all their newest fabric collections. These fabrics will begin shipping to quilt shops this month, so keep your eyes out! For the hop, Island Batik has partnered with Deb Tucker's Studio 180 Design to showcase their fabulous tools.  Each ambassador was sent of Deb's tools plus a complete fabric collection (usually 20 fabrics) and tasked to make at least 30 units with their tool.  All of Deb's tools make multiple sizes, so you could see miniature blocks or huge ones.

I was sent the collection Prairie Blue.  As you might suspect from the name, it's a stunning collection of a variety of shades of blue.  There are cacti, long horned cattle, blue bonnets, and other things that you might associate with the Prairie.  Come back on September 20th to see what I made with these beautiful blues.


Island Batik hosts a giveaway every week on their blog; check back every Friday for a new one.  For this week, you can win either the Baroque or Bee Kind collections.  I got to pick the farbics for my October challenge and I chose fabrics from Bee Kind; don't miss your chance to enter to win these beautiful fabrics!
