I was thrilled to get the notification that I was selected as a 2021 Island Batik Ambassador. My boxes showed up on Christmas Eve – what a great gift! In this unboxing video, I preview all the goodies from Island Batik, Hobbs batting, Aurifil thread, Schmetz needles and Accuquilt.
Quilting Goodies for 2021
Island Batik gives all the ambassadors a fantastic selection of fabrics to work with for the monthly challenges. I was supplied with the following basic fabrics… meaning they are part of the Foundations and Blenders collections which are always available:
Solids in black, grey and white, a lovely neutral called Rice, an assortment of blues and coordinates
Stashbuilder packs of 5-inch strips (I used the browns in my January placemat challenge shown here) and a surprise bundle!
Some precuts from upcoming debuts…
Half yard bundle of Starry Nights – designed by Kathy Engle, Fall 2020
shipping in February 2021
2-1/2″ strips of Glacier Bay – designed by Kathy Engle, Winter 2020
shipping in May 2021
10″ squares of Mystery – designed by Claudia Pfeil of Claudia Pfeil Designs,
Fall 2020
shipping in February 2021
More stuff!
Island Batik partners with other companies to support the Ambassadors. We received needles from Schmetz, thread from Aurifil, and batting from Hobbs. Talk about generous – these supplies will be put to good use this year.
And I was beyond excited to get an Accuquilt Go! system. Stay tuned for all the fun things I will be sharing this year!

Great video. I’m envious of all the blue.
Perfect for me, lol
I’m too early for the video, so I’ll have to pop back by later. It was still fun to see the photos of what you received. Mystery is gorgeous. I made a catalog quilt with that fabric line and absolutely fell in love. I can’t wait to see what you create. Have a fabulous day!
