Island Batik Ambassador Box 2 for 2019

It was just like Christmas in July when the second Island Batik ambassador arrived! Oh, how I love getting a great big box of fabric, all of which is a surprise to me until I open it 😊 To be clear, everything in this box was given to me by Island Batik and their industry partners as part of the Island Batik ambassador program. Each month I create something with the supplies I've been given in these boxes. I love being an Island Batik ambassador!

You can watch my unboxing video or you can just keep scrolling to see the pictures.
First up, here's a beautiful creamy neutral that I know will go with pretty much anything. This is called Milkshake.

Island Batik solids are made on the same base fabric as the printed fabrics and I love working with them. Again in this box, we ambassadors have been given yardage of black, white and grey. This is great because I was getting low on these 😊

This 2 ½" strip set is from the line "Little Sir, Little Miss" and I have yardage of two of the prints. Aren't these chunky numbers fabulous?

This line is "Garden Party" and is a fabulous rainbow. And just look at those strawberries 😋 I'm still waiting for the strawberries in my backyard to ripen, but these ones look good enough to eat.

This fat quarter bundles is called "Geared Up" and has such great graphic prints. I love the neutral palette, too, with the browns, greys and black.

Then there were two gorgeous bundles of Foundations. I love all of the Foundations line and it makes me happy to add these ones to my Island Batik stash.

 Hobb's Batting sent three packages of batting - wool, wool/cotton bend and 100% cotton.

Aurifil sent me two colours of 50 wt thread, both of which coordinate beautifully with the Garden Party line.

And Accuquilt sent me the Crossed Canoes Block-on-Board die, which is going to be fun to use.

Doesn't Island Batik spoil their ambassadors?? There are always so many fun things included in the box that it's hard to know what to use first!

  1. Great job on the video! Can't wait to see what you do with the collections. I am intrigued by the Little Sir/Little Miss & the crossed canoes (got that too). Let the second half of the games begin!

  2. My keyboard is a little wet - I've been drooling (figuratively) over those gorgeous fabrics! I have a batik project on my to-do list, but I need a really subtle background print - the "Milkshake" one would be perfect! I'll have to keep my eyes open for that one...
