Tool Craze Blog Hop and Giveaway!

We’re thrilled to announce the start of the Tool Craze Blog Hop, a month-long event that celebrates the love of quilting and the use of tools to create beautiful, unique designs. We’ve teamed up with our friends at Deb Tucker’s Studio 180 Design, who have generously provided the 25 participating Island Batik Ambassadors with their tools. The challenge is to incorporate these tools and any coordinating Studio 180 Design‘s Technique Sheets into their quilts, using the new Island Batik collections. We can’t wait to see the amazing and creative designs that come out of this project!

Not only will the Tool Craze Blog Hop be a feast for the eyes, but there will also be three giveaways and six prizes up for grabs! These include bundles of new Island Batik collections, which will be featured during the hop.

We hope you’ll join us in celebrating the Tool Craze Blog Hop and the joy of quilting! We encourage everyone to follow along with the Blog Hop and discover Studio 180 Design tools, new techniques, tips, and inspiration for your own quilting projects. Stay tuned for updates and exciting developments throughout the month-long event. Let’s get sewing!

If you’re new to Island Batik Ambassador Blog Hops, every Friday we post round-ups of the quilts featured during that week and announce new giveaway bundles of the Island Batik collections, highlighted during the hop. Be sure to visit all the Ambassadors’ blogs to read more about the Studio 180 Design‘s tools they used, discover their inspiring creations, read the stories behind each project and participate in their bonus giveaways!
