mmmmh, that looks awesome! =D *whispering…good luck to veryone who enters. I wish I wouuld have the kits in my hands too 😉

Loves this collection! My skill would be to teach others how to quilt.

I’m pretty good at applique and it’s one of my favorite quilty things to do.

Not sure how to answer this. I enjoy trying out new techniques all the time on small projects – have done Cathedral Windows, Folded Star, Paper Piecing, Applique, etc. Have just done a Bargello table runner!

I pride myself on being able to put together beautiful quilts lots of colors.

I think I am good at hand applique. Now if I could just finish some of my applique projects by quilting them!

I taught myself how to foundation paper piece by creating my own mini dragonfly pattern. It measured 2″ x 2″ as part of a the sky background of a wall hanging made of 1 1/2″ squares. I am always looking for new techniques to challenge myself.

I love the richness of the colors! The blue, greens and purple are Gorgeous.

Teaching myself to free motion quilt on my domestic Singer.

I pride myself on the ability to combine fabrics from multiple lines and manufacturers well.

I think my skill is customizing my fabric and pattern selections to mean something special to the recipient of whatever I’m making. Thanks for this fun blog hop!

My skill is doing applique. My favorite way is needle turn hand applique. Thank you for your giveaway.

I really like that I can do paper piecing. I love the nice points you get with this method.

My super skill is applying binding. I put a very thin – 1/4 inch – binding on and I sew it on by hand. It always turns out beautifully. Thanks!

I don’t make quilts
but I love sewing.
I like to create
storage bags and
baskets.

Love these blog hops and the awesome creations made with Island Batik fabrics!
I’m happy with my accomplishment of getting the binding process down to the point that I feel really good about it! The corners are sharp and the joining ends are perfect!

I think I do a very good job of color coordination and mixing. Love using batiks.

Love the projects, thanks for the opportunity to win

I seem to be really good at math. People always have trouble with that part.

I love seeing how creative everyone is! I think I’m proud of my ability to teach others how to FPP.

I’m proud of myself for continuing to challenge my quilting skills year after year and still loving doing it everyday.

My quilt skill is making fabric out of scraps, I make nontraditional log cabin blocks and make quilts out of them.

I love making quilts, but one thing I’m pretty good at and enjoy doing is binding. I know many people dread applying binding, but I love hand-stitching the binding down and knowing my latest project is almost complete.

My super skill would be scrappy improvisational piecing 🙂

I pride myself on finishing! I love doing the whole thing, from design, to cutting/sewing, making the top, and now I also love quilting them on my long arm. And doing binding by machine, adding the label and saying it’s done! I even love taking the photos!

I try not too overthink my designs.

I pride myself on staying organised while wourking on several projects at the same time

All of the quilts I’ve seen have been fabulous! Thanks to Island Batik for their donations to all of the causes represented.

Beautiful fabrics! Enjoy your day.🦉

My skill is math for myself and others – resizing blocks, calculating yardage, figuring binding lengths (you name it…)

Love the colors16

I pride myself on making and donating bright cheerful quilts.

I am learning to love improv quilting, using scraps from traditional quilts.

I pride myself in being interested in my grandmothers’ quilts and wanting to continue on with this skill.

I love practicing my free motion quilting.

All these new colors and quilts have been so inspiring!!!

Because I am something of a control freak, I’m really proud of how I have embraced improv.

I really enjoy longarming, started with Claudia’s classes 😉

Beautiful fabric and an awesome quilt ❤

Well, this theme for a challenge is near and dear to my heart. 🙂 Wonderful idea, Island Batik, with wonderful creations by the ambassadors! My skill is machine quilting. I love adding texture to a quilt to have it come alive.

I am told I have a good color sense!

Every project was simply inspiring and the fabrics lovely.
