This month the Island Batik Ambassadors were allowed to make a project of their choice, using Island Batiks fabrics. We could do the project in any size using any technique.
As
many of you may know I’m also a BeColourful Authorized Teacher do trunk shows
and workshops with quilt guilds and quilt shops, plus I’m required to attend a
master class every year with Jacqueline de Jonge, the pattern designer of BeColourful
quilt patterns. I am currently working on the “Catch Me” pattern for my
upcoming master class I will be in the beginning of June. This pattern has been
consuming the majority of my sewing time and so this month Island Batik
challenge project is small! The next few months will be super challenging!
For
the March Island Batik challenge I choose Island Batik’s JUBILANT batik 2 ½ strip
set. This collection I thought would be perfect as stained glass. I created my
own foundation paper pattern to create my project.
Here's the finished table topper
Here's a close up of the individual block
This table topper was made with Island Batik Jubilant strip set (1/2 pack) and solid black batik, foundation paper pieced with Aurifil 50 wt thread, sewn with Schmetz 70/10 Microtex needles, pressed with my Oliso Mini Pro Iron, and quilted on my Bernina using Hobbs fusible batting. The table topper measures approximately 18 x 21 inches.
A very special thanks to all the sponsors of the Island Batik Ambassador program.
Please visit my fellow 2025 Ambassadors to see what projects they’re working on!
