Part of my commitment as an Island Batik Ambassador is to make a rep samples from pre-release lines of fabric. Back in July I received my second shipment of fabric and supplies for the year and my secret line of fabric was Fortune Teller. I love the vibrant colors as well as the dragonflies and butterflies! This is the fabric I'll be using for my January project so I thought I'd give you a sneak peek!
The rep samples are a quick and simple sew as they are made with squares and finished with the pillowcase binding method and simple quilting stitches. These 12" x 18" samples will travel with Island Batik reps to show off the fabrics and then are donated to be used as Kennel Quilts. I finished this one back in August when I couldn't show it to you yet. The Fortune Teller line was shared at Fall Quilt Market, so now I can show it off!
I look forward to getting started with this vibrant fabric for my January project!

Oh, very interesting angle about being an ambassador that I did not know about!

So bright and vibrant. I like that the samples are donated once they are finished with them.
