    WELCOME TO MY TREE FARM - FOUR SEASONS ISLAND BATIK BLOG HOP


    If you have been following along this week you already know that the Four Season's Blog hop for the Island Batik ambassadors is going on.

    Lots of wonderful giveaways from the bloggers themselves, tips, tutorials, and free patterns.  Best of all Island Batik is giving away 4 precuts from the collections you will see throughout this fantastic blog hop, please visit their site to enter.


    I have the delightful fabrics "Alpine Jingle"


    OH BOY!!!!

    So I decided to make a tree farm.  I used all but two of the fabrics from the Alpine Jingle collection.




    We had a slight breeze when I took this picture....brrrrrr

    Yes, it has been cold in Texas!




                           I got out my trusty Accuquilt Go cutter, using the Holiday Medley die.

                           Remembering I had some of Marjorie Busby's embroidery designs for the Accuquilt tree die, as you see above.  I just used the outline because the awesome fabrics can handle their own in design.



    Decided to hand quilt. 




    Here is my thimble collection.

    You are probably wondering why I have Elmer's Spray Adhesive on here.
    With all of these thimbles, not one of them would stay on my finger so I got the idea to spray some of this spray adhesive inside my smallest thimble.  What a difference that made.  I will have to admit the first time you put your finger in after spraying it in, it is a little tight getting it out but after that a breeze.   Well worth it.



    This runner you have seen before but I wanted to show you again.  These hearts are what I cut out from the scraps of the trees.  Don't like wasting the fabric or the fabric adhesive.





    My Giveaway

    Here is 24 pieces of the "Alpine Jingle" fabric.  The pieces range from 5" to 6" wide by 10" to 13" long with a snap bag to hold them.

      Moose Stash Quilting has a tutorial on how to make them, if you are interested.

    All you have to do is leave a comment.
