I’m excited to be chosen as an Island Batik ambassador for the 6th year! As an Island Batik Ambassador, I receive 2 shipments from Island Batik; one in January and the other in June/July. This is my unboxing video for the first box. I had to open the box prior to bringing it across the border, but I didn’t see all the contents until I did the video. Enjoy!
Here are individual pictures of everything!
This 2 1/2” strip set of Lavandin came paired with a 2 yard cut of Milk Shake (the off white from the Neutrals collection) and Turtle (the dark green, from the Glorious Greens gradation collection).
These 1/2 yard cuts are from the basics which are available at all times.
Thistle (Playful Purples) | Red Solid (Solids) | Marble-Aqua (Blenders) |
Dark Grey (Solids) | Cobalt (Solids) | Bubbles-Cherry (Blenders) |
Fuchsia (Solids) | Marble-Purple (Blenders) | Buff (Ravishing Reds) |
Marble-Storm (Blenders) | Wave (Brilliant Blues) | Blueberry (Brilliant Blues) |
This is an awesome neutral fabric! It is called “Almond” and the tiny bluish and purple dots will blend in with everything I received! I’m positive that this 6 yard piece will be used in the near future!
A Strip pack of Playful Purples … (2 1/2” strips, width of fabric, 2 of each of the 20 different fabrics)
This 10″ stack of “Naturally Neutrals” will come in handy!! It’s fun to have a little of each of the neutrals!
This bundle of solid Black, White and Grey will be used in many different projects!
Stash builder rolls are so much fun. There are 5 rolls in each package. Each roll consists of 4 width of fabric 5″ strips. They are so versatile and are fun to give as gifts! And, I use them too!
This is a group of 1/2 yard cuts from the “Heavy Metal” collection. It was Designed by Kathy Engle for Swan Amity Studios (Swan Sheridan). There are also a 2 yard cut of Gears-Purple Hyacinth and 2 yards of Circle Gears-White (both from the collection). I will be using this in my February Blog Hop.
This surprise package will be used in the May Blog Hop. You’ll have to wait to see what it contains.
One of Island Batik’s Industry partners is Deb Tucker from Studio 180 Designs. She provided each of us with a special tool. I received the “Tucker Trimmer I” and a “Magic Wand.” I will be using these tools, along with the 10” stack of Squiggles, Dots and Lines. This stack came paired with a 2 yard cut of Midnight Blue (the dark blue on the left) and Bluebelle (the light blue). Both of these are basics from the Brilliant Blues collection (always available).
Hobbs Batting. A Queen size batt of 80/20!! A perfect batting for almost every project!
Oliso: I’m already loving this iron!!!
Schmetz Needles – lots of quality needles with charts and a booklet to assist in knowing which needle to use!
Here’s a picture of everything together!
One thing that I didn’t mention in my video was that Funky Friends will be an industry partner this year as well. I will be making Taylor the Tiger!
Thank you!
I would like to thank Island Batik and the industry partners who supplied all of the products in this post free of charge! I feel extremely blessed to be an Island Batik Ambassador for 2024!
