The Getaway Blog Hop for Island Batik Ambassadors begins on Monday, January 7 and goes until Friday, February 1.  We are all so excited to show you our creations.  Mine is not until Tuesday, January 29th, so I of course am still working on my quilt.

Here’s a little glimpse of what I have begun:

I will have a giveaway, and maybe a preliminary one this week or next week!

I’m working hard on getting organized and will participate in some of the Finish Alongs or Monthly Goal Setting blogs.  I am just a little late in getting back to them….

Island Batik Ambassadors for next year are beginning to get their boxes and goodies from some Island Batik and at least one other vendor. I have seen my tracking so I know I am in! I don’t know who the new ones are, but I can’t wait to meet them.
