Island Batik Ambassadors Winter Wonderland - Part 3

Being an Ambassador for Island Batik is such fun!  I was staring at a set of red, gold, and green fabrics Island Batiks sent to me trying to decide what to do with them.  A little later I was ironing in my sewing room and there on my bulletin board was the answer.  I had a tiny picture of this tree that I'd cut out of something many years ago and there it was.  Perfect!  All those lovely green would make a fabulous tree!

I cut out the pieces and found a gold snowflake on one of the gold prints that made a fabulous tree topper.  I had to use a really, really tiny blanket stitch to stitch around that snowflake, but it worked beautifully.



For the quilting I decided to stitch around all the leaves on the tree and then do a random feather all over the background fabric.


Here's the back.  It was so much fun to make and I can't wait to put it on my table for Christmas!


I hope you get to quilt today!

  1. Was there, per chance, a die cutter involved in this project?? I really like how the quilting is understated and echoes the applique. I do believe I need to do one of these!!!!!!!!! Your fabrics are perfect!!!!!

    1. I think Accuquilt has a similar one, but this was from a little tree I ripped out of something sometime and had hanging on my design board.
