Today is my birthday and I want to do something special for all my friends. 2020 has been a very different year and has limited us being able to get together. I have missed doing lectures, trunk shows, workshops, and meeting all my friends at quilt shows and markets.
Even though we can’t get together physically we can still do it virtually. So I thought, lets have a little fun and do a virtual Birthday Give-Away!
As many of you know I am quilter, an Island Batik Designer, and an Ambassador for Island Batik. I receive lots of beautiful fabric and supplies from our great sponsors. Hobbs, Aurifil , AccuQuilt, Studio 180 Designs, Schmetz Needles, Bags By Annie, and many more.
Birthday Give-A-Way
To celebrate my birthday I want to give away this beautiful fat quarter bundle of Sundance batik fabric designed by Kathy Engle for Island Batik. So rather than celebrating with birthday cake we are going to celebrate with a fabulous layered stack of Island Batik fabrics! The best part is there are no calories but it is so scrumptious, and delicious.
How to enter
All you need to do is leave me a comment. Your comment can be left here on my blog or on my Facebook page. Your comments must be posted by 4:00 p.m. today CST. I will select one lucky winner and you will be notified by private message by 5:00 p.m. CST.
New Signature Collections in 2021
Next year I will have the fortune to do more give-a-ways. I have became a Signature Designer for Island Batik and will have two new collections coming out next year, plus I have a new digital fabric line from Suite B called Mid-Century Modern which will be available in April of 2021.
I can’t reveal the Signature Collections yet but you will be seeing the first one in the Spring/Summer of 2021. It is called “Passion Petals”. Then in the Fall/Winter of 2021 the next one will be coming. It is called “Woodblock Bouquets”.
With 2020 winding down, I am ready to start 2021 with lots of wonderful, creative fun. I hope you will join me.
I look forward to reading your comments. So come and celebrate my birthday. I can’t wait to see who the lucky winner is of the Island Batik “Sundance” fat quarter bundle.
Wishing you all the best,
A very Happy Birthday to you Carol. And a huge congrats on becoming a signature designer. I am glad you are allowing yourself to thrive in the current state of the world. Virtual Birthday HUGS.
Hi Carol–wishing you the happiest of Birthdays! I (I know you from ‘The Quilt Show’ from many years past. You posted a picture of your ‘Kismet’ quilt and were kind enough to give me some pointers about it.) Stay warm there in Iowa!
Happy Birthday Carol! I LOVE the Island Batik Sundance collection! All my favorite colors and as soon as January is here, I can loose myself in my sewing room. So many ideas to make!
Happy Birthday Carol! May your birthday be filled with love, laughter, friends and family.

Happy birthday Carol! I remember you from the early TQS days, and always felt a connection to you as we lived in Iowa City for 7 years, remembering it very fondly! Stay safe and stay warm…..we would have retired there but can’t handle the cold weather any more! ???

I hope you have a very Happy Birthday! Sundance is a beautiful line, and I have just the pattern for it. Being retired and having the internet, 2020 has not been as hard on us as on other people, but I am still ready for 2021. Anyway, best wishes on your birthday.
