Kauffman Designs: Jan 2022 Island Batik Boxes

A new year as an Island Batik Ambassador brings great surprises in big boxes delivered right to my door! This time they came in mid Dec. late at night. I left the light on for the delivery lady!

Each year the Ambassador program is full of different challenges and new fabrics and supplies to work with. Watch the video and pictures below to see what I will work with the first half of this year.

I made a mistake at the beginning of my video and said the boxes were for the year 2021! Oops- some of the collections are 2021, but the products sent in the boxes are for me to work with in the first half of the year 2022.

Here are some still photos of what was in the boxes:

A fat quarter bundle of Gradations called Ravishing Reds. A beautiful collection of 20 fat quarters in differing shades of red. Yardage of these fabrics are available now. Island Batik carries 10 different Gradation collections in other colors. Check out the other Ambassadors to see the other color collections.

Fat quarter bundle of the collection called Contempo by Kathy Engle for Kate Colleran Designs, along with yardage in light and dark. I just love these bright fabrics! I'll be making something with these fabrics for the February Blog Hop.

A wonderful bundle of several fabrics from the Batik Foundations. The Island Batik Foundation fabrics are always available.

Aurifil is one of the Sponsors in the Island Batik Ambassador program, and they sent a box of three threads. We'll be having a challenge using Aurifil threads in March.

There were two bundles of the Stash builder rolls. Each roll has 4 fabrics that are 5" by width of fabric. These rolls are a great way to add variety to your fabric stash.

We're always given a generous supply of Island Batik fabrics in white, black and gray. These are wonderful to have on hand. Also yardage in a Neutral. This one is called Whipped Cream. The photo doesn't do it justice.

A 10" precut bundle of the collection called Wondrous by Jerry Kiev. These are really lovely. They also sent additional yardage in light and dark colors.

The surprise bundle was wrapped in paper that was shredded, so I can't show you the package- or the fabrics! The fabrics are a Winter 2021 collection that is not in the stores yet. You can see what they are and what I make with them in the May Blog Hop.

Hobbs Batting is another sponsor and they once again sent a great supply of battings:

80/20 Bleached Cotton- Queen Size

Premium Poly - Queen Size

Premium Cotton - Queen Size

Premium Wool Queen Size

Fusible Batting Strips

It's wonderful to be able to try the wide variety of battings that Hobbs carries.

It is so inspiring to see all these fabrics and supplies we are sent to use with the Ambassador program. I hope you stay tuned to see what everyone creates this year!
