Island Batik Ambassador EPP Challenge featuring Sunset Tree from Curlicue Creations

This is my last Island Batik Ambassador project for 2021. I've been working on this quilt since February. It has over 1500 hexagons, all made from my Island Batik scraps.

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

The challenge for December was to make an EPP (English Paper Piecing) project using any of our Island Batik fabrics. The requirement also stated that our projects could be as small as 12" x 12".

I adore English Paper Piecing. I usually have a project or two going on at a ...

Divide and Conquer progress from Curlicue Creations

Do you remember my small Divide and Conquer bag I made for the Island Batik ByAnnie.com challenge? I'm sure I mentioned that I'm also making this in the large size. It had to go on the back burner for a while so I could finish up a few other projects, but I had some time to work on it one day this week.

Storm at Sea Island Batik Blog Hop from Curlicue Creations

Hello! Welcome to my day on the Island Batik Ambassador Storm at Sea blog hop. This is my Storm at Sea quilt, made with the new Petal Pathway fabric collection by Kathy Engle. My quilt is still a top, as it took a lot longer to piece together than I had planned. I wasn't even sure I liked it until I took this photo. Sometimes it's hard to see how a quilt is coming out while you're working on it up close.

Island Batik Precuts from Curlicue Creations

Do you remember waaaay back in July when I showed the unboxing video for my Island Batik Ambassador box #2? I mentioned that the precuts would be coming at a later date. They actually came a while ago and I posted them to Facebook and Instagram, but I totally forgot to write a blog post about them! Here they are.

I received a strip pack of Sticks N Stones, plus a coordinating light fabric and a coordinating dark fabric. Isn't this collection just wonderful? This should be in local quilt shops now.

I also received a Bellingham Bay 10 ...

This month the Island Batik Ambassadors were each assigned an endangered species to coordinate with the new Aurifil thread sets shown above.

Divide and Conquer ByAnnie Bag Challenge from Curlicue Creations

Pshew! Here I am posting about my byAnnie bag on the last day of September. I just barely finished this morning. I've had so many things pulling me away from sewing time in the last month. I'm actually making two bags, this is the smaller size. The large sized bag is about 3/4 of the way done at this time. I'll show it on another post when it's complete.

For this blog hop, I was pleased to use this glorious new fabric collection, Fancy Feathers, by Kathy Engle, for Island Batik. I love all colors, but purples are my favorite. This collection sings to my heart.

Never Too Early featuring the Jolly Holiday Christmas Tree Skirt from Curlicue Creations

The Island Batik Ambassador July challenge was to make a holiday themed project. I chose to make a Christmas tree skirt, as I've never had one. My poor tree has been wrapped in a red and green plaid table cloth all these years.

Double Irish Chain Scrap Quilt ~ A Beginning from Curlicue Creations

I've had this Black Pearl strip pack by Island Batik for a while, and I finally broke it open to make a new Double Irish Chain Scrap quilt. I love these fabrics so much, and sometimes when I feel that way it's harder to choose a project. It's like I don't want to use it up, I just want to enjoy looking at it for a while.

Sparrow's Compass Quilt Top from Curlicue Creations

I rewrote one of my patterns this week and decided to make a test sample in an older Island Batik fabric collection, Tropicana Twist. You might remember my Log Cabin Under the Stars quilt, which I also made with this fabric line. It's so bright and sunny.

Caramel helped hold down my paper piecing. She was feeling a little camera shy.

Sparrow's Compass is a Mariner's Compass design. I paper pieced it in sections, sewed the sections together, and then needle turn appliqued it to a green background square.

Aren't these fabrics bright and beautiful?
