Fun Friday Giveaway - Sponsored by Island Batik and Cherry Blossoms Studio

Are you starting to feel a cooler breeze flow your way?  Maybe it is a tropical breeze.  For me, I think of such a breeze, when Fall arrives bringing much needed cooler weather. Of course, I also feel such a breeze when I get to create with beautiful tropical fabrics and fun designs.  It was just recently that I was working with designs from Cherry Blossoms Quilting Studio, that I thought how they'd look great is tropical fabrics, like batiks from Island Batik.  As such, I'm delighted to share insights with you today that showcase fabrics from   Island Batik Fabric AND designs using two designs from  Cherry Blossoms Quilting Studio.






Cherry (Cherry Blossoms Quilting Studio) made two beautiful quilts using Island Batik fabrics to make her  Feathered Christmas and Feather Fancy wall hanging designs.  


note:  You may want to double click on the images of these two quilts to better view the color and detail in the beautiful batik fabrics used to make these lovely wall-hangings.


Don't you love how Island Batik fabrics work in these beautiful designs?   

To my delight, Island Batik and Cherry Blossoms studio are sponsoring the giveaway this week.  They have created kits which you could win to make one of these wall-hangings.  Each kit comes with all the fabric as well as the pattern.  

Bundle #1 includes Island Batik fabric and the  Feathered Christmas quilt pattern, by Cherry Blossoms Quilting Studio.



Bundle #2 includes Island Batik fabric and the   Feather Fancy   quilt pattern, by Cherry Blossoms Quilting Studio.




You may also want to check out Island Batik fabric at your local quilt shop. Here are the SKU#s for the fabrics used in these kits.  If you don't find them in your local quilt shop, or your favorite online store, let them know you'd like them to stock them and they can place an order with Island Batik.  But these designs would look great in a variety of fabrics from Island Batik too, so you may want to check out their online catalog (open to wholesale orders only).

Red #1 - IB87-K2
Red #2 - BE19-8B

Did I Mention A Giveaway?


Island Batik, Inc. is giving away two fabric bundles with yardage to create the beautiful  Feathered Christmas and the Feather Fancy design.  Cherry (Cherry Quilting Blossoms Studio) is giving away a pattern for her Feathered Christmas and Feather Fancy Design.   To clarify, two  winners will a bundle of fabrics and pattern for either the Feathered Christmas or the Feather Fancy design. Kits will be sent directly to the winners, from Island Batik.

This giveaway is also limited to those living in US or Canada.

It just arrived here today!!!! Love the Island Batiks used in these 2 patterns - just perfect. I look forward to making up my pattern. Would love to win the fabric and either pattern cuz I'd share the pattern with a friend and use the fabric myself!! :)
