As an Island Batik Brand Ambassador, I receive fabrics and sewing notions from Island Batik and their corporate sponsors (Oliso, Schmetz, Aurifil, Deb Tucker's Studio 180 Design, Hobbs Batting, Accu-Quilt).
The January boxes have arrived at twenty-two Island Batik Ambassadors homes.
As usual the contents do not disappoint!
Let's start with the Oliso M3Pro ProLight Project Iron. It is 1000 watts and has a safety auto-off. It comes in four colors: raspberry, aqua, coral and pistachio. There is even an adorable carry all bag.
Schmetz is my go to needle and they supplied some sample packs and literature on their products.
There were three spools of Aurifil 50 weight thread in my supplies.
Hmmm, reminds me of Halloween colors! Maybe that is a clue to my surprise bundle of fabric that will be used for the May blog hop!
These five-inch stash builder rolls knock it out of the ball park!
Blues, purples, reds, oranges, greens, neutrals, brights!
This ten-inch square pack of lusciousness is called BOTANICAL DREAMS. Two fabric coordinates Pearl and Scarlet match the pre-cut. The Pearl batik reminds me of orange creamsicle ice-cream. :)
Two additional pre-cut packages were included in my box.
Brilliant Blue 2-1/2" strips and Opulent Orange 10" squares.
Such a beautiful assortment of Foundations fabrics (solids, blenders and basics).
Included in the bundle are tangerine, eggplant, orange, green, dashes - salt and pepper, dandelion, grass, lime green, pink, small petal - purple, cat scratch - watermelon and foxglove.
Check this B.E.A.U.T.I.F.U.L. bundle out! It's called Meadow Hues and it is designed by Jerry Khiev for Claudia Porter of Create with Claudia. Meadow Hues is shipping to stores in February. Isn't it delightful? The bundle came with two coordinates: helleborus - red shell and pomegranate.
I will be using the Deb Tucker Split Rects tool with my Meadow Hues bundle for the February blog hop.
Accu-Quilt sent the ambassadors the Irish Chain 10" die. This will be used in the May blog-hop with my surprise bundle of Island Batik fabrics.
Hobbs Batting is also sending their wonderful batting and I will update you when I get the box!

The iron is a great.
Meadow Hues is so pretty and that iron...
Those fabrics are so gorgeous…can’t wait to see what you make. And that Accuquilt die & the iron intrigue me.
Great post! It's always exciting and fun to see what everyone received in their boxes! I also got Meadow Hues. It's so pretty! I can't wait to see what you make with it. Happy Sewing!
