The Island Batik Ambassador challenge for January was to design placemats.
I bought new dinner plates recently so this challenge was easy—I’d design new placemats just for them!

I call my design Lemonade.

The design originally had a solid side border and a small grouping of lemons in the lower corner, but as the design evolved the HSTs twisted into the pattern you see now and the ...
read moreThere is a first time for everything, right? This is my first attempt at making a video.
I hope that what I lack in production quality and overall appeal is balanced (somewhat) by my genuine excitement.

The Island Batik Ambassador challenge for December was to design a medallion quilt.
I had a great idea for this one, but sometimes you have to go where the design takes you. In the end I created a beautiful quilt, but it’s not technically a medallion quilt so I hope you’ll forgive me.
By the way, if you’re looking for my weekly link up Wednesday Wait Loss, this week it’s on Thursday so be sure to come tomorrow to share your quilty projects!
