Funky Friends Factory april challenge / Πρόκληση Απριλίου – Φτιάχνουμε μ ια 3σδιάστατη κατασκευή from Mania for Quilts

The most fun challenge of the whole semester. We had chosed a pattern from Funky Friends Factory patterns and the only thing we had to do, was to have fun making the pattern. I chose this cute witch. I immediately decided on making two of them.

Creative Christmas Stocking with Island Batik from Curlicue Creations

This month's Island Batik Ambassador challenge was to make a Christmas Stocking.  

Disclaimer:  The products used to make this stocking were given to me by Island Batik and industry partners.


I was inspired to use the Emperor's Treasures strip pack and the dark coordinate, Merlot, that I received in my Island Batik Ambassador second shipment for 2022.

Though the purples and lime green are not very traditional Christmas colors, I love the rich look of them paired with the dark purple Merlot coordinating fabric.  The first thing I did was cut 2-1/2" strips of the dark purple ...
