Top It Off Challenge!

I can’t believe it’s almost the holiday season!  This year had passed so quickly and it’s been full of change! This month’s Island Batik Ambassador Challenge is to create a table topper with applique!  The fabrics showcased in this post were given to me by Island Batik as a part of the ambassador program.

Square Trickster Quilt Pattern! (Friday Foto Fun #98)

Today, I am so excited to say that Friday Foto Fun is BACK and I get to share another new pattern!  This quilt is the second of two brand new quilt patterns to be released for Fall Market.  It’s called Square Trickster since there are interlocking squares throughout the quilt.  The quilt used Northern Lights from Island Batik!  Northern Lights is a Winter 2019 fabric...

Wholecloth Mini Quilt Challenge!

This month’s Aurifil Artisan Challenge is to make a Wholecloth Mini Quilt! Paintbrush Studio Fabrics provided a half yard of Painter’s Palette Solids fabric to make the mini.  The colors provided to the Artisans are the 2019 trending colors and each color was given out at most twice!  I got Mink, it’s a really nice tan neutral color!
