Today starts a brand new blog hop showcasing the newest fabric collections from Island Batik/Lumin Fabrics. (Lumin Fabrics is the new parent company for Island Batik.) Each ambassador was sent a half yard bundle of one of the new collections that will be hitting the stores this month, as well as an Irish Chain Block on Board (BOB) die from AccuQuilt. Be prepared for lots of Irish Chain inspiration!
I was sent the beautiful collection Tinsel Treasures, a signature collection for Sarah Fabian of Quilt Basket, created by Jerry Khiev, creative director of Island Batik. Tinsel Treasures is a gorgeous winter collection, with snowflakes, trees, deer, candy canes, and more, all in a variety of blue-on-white and white-on-blue prints.
Unfortunately, you will have to wait for the very last day of the blog hop (May 22nd) to see my quilt! Don't be too sad, though, there will be lots of beautiful Irish Chain inspiration between now and then. Here is the full schedule:
