ISLAND BATIK AMBASSADOR...YEAR THREE
Join Me for a Description of January 2020 Box
I am delighted to be entering my third year as an Island Batik Ambassadors. We receive a delightful box of fabrics, batting, thread and other quilting supplies twice per year. These materials are supplied by Island Batik and their industry partners for use in the twelve-monthly challenges. Ambassadors use blogs and social media to share their projects each month.
