Can you believe it??? I can’t.
I saw the announcement come across my blog feed that applications were being accepted. I thought, what the heck, I may as well apply! I was so inspired by the work of a few quilters that I follow:
Laura Piland at Slice of Pi Quilts
and
Jennifer Fulton at The Inquiring Quilter.
I met these wonderful quilters during the 2017 New Quilt Bloggers event and started following. I have quilted a long time, but my primary joy in quilting is trying new things, stretching my skills and sharing them with others. I hope that is what this opportunity holds for me.
Watch for announcements for the 2018 New Quilt Bloggers group if you are interested in expanding your horizons. February 1 is when the new applications begin being accepted. I have broaden my blog presence and met many new friends in the journey.
Island Batik fabrics are wonderful and I can’t believe I’ll be receiving a shipment soon with a mission to accomplish. For now, feel free to browse their site for fabrics coming in 2018! Each month we are given an assignment and off we go – creating and blogging about our successes and sometimes our failures.
Wish me luck, its going to be an interesting year!
I hope you have fun being an ambassador this year! Congratulations!
I think it will be a blast! The schedule should be doable – but whether I can keep up with this and my UFOs…..that will be another story.
Congratulations on being selected as an ambassador!! I can't wait to see what fun things you create using their yummy fabrics.
Thanks, Tish. I am really looking forward to this!
Yay you! Have fun with this.
I intend to enjoy the process (and the goodies)!
Looking forward to your creations! Congrats!
Thank you, Nancy.
Congrats! Can't wait to see what you create.
Thanks, Jess.
So happy for you Kathleen! Very exciting indeed.
Me, too. It should be really fun.
Congrats! I am very excited to see what you will create with their wonderful fabric!
Thanks, Cheryl! It will be fun to see what I can come up!
Congratulations Kathleen! I've seen some other people who've been accepted this year on my IG feed as well – it looks like it should be an interesting group to watch.
Thanks, Sue. I have seen a few others too. Should be an interesting group!
Congratulations! You will have fun with it, I think. I have a quilty friend who is an ambassador, and I always enjoy seeing what she comes up with. I thought about applying, but chickened out. Haha.
I'm sorry you didn't apply….next year you must. I am a little scared, but I think once it gets going, it will be tons of fun. Trying to decide whether to do New Blogger group again. I think it could be a bit much, but we'll see how it feels!
Yay and congratulations on being an Island Ambassador! It's going to be fun seeing your projects and getting free fabric is so nice. You're going to have a great year.
Thanks, Rose. I am both terrified and totally excited – making plans in my head for techniques or ideas I might want to use. Have to wait to see what they challenge us with!
