This month the Island Batik ambassadors are partnering up with Aurifil to do some creative applique for this fun blog hop!
“You may remember the gorgeous Full Bloom BOM quilt by Barbara Persing and Mary Hoover at 4th and 6th Designs. It certainly stole many a quilter’s heart, not just because of its beauty, but the innovative technique that brought it to life. Among the many forms of appliqué was that of an edge-painted/coloring appliqué technique, based on basic raw-edge glue basting without fusible materials. It truly served to found this quilt’s unique charm! This technique opens an entire world of creative possibilities, enabling quilters to choose their favorite quilt patterns and embellish them with personalized appliqué designs.”
Island Batik has challenged the Ambassadors to try this technique and we will be using the fabric from the new Island Batik Spring ’24 collections that will ship to your local quilt shops in September! To enhance the edge-painted/coloring appliqué technique, the Ambassadors will be using the 40 wt. thread generously provided by our friends at Aurifil to add a personal touch to our creations. Let the Adventurous Appliqué Blog Hop begin!
