2024 is done and I wanted to share the projects that I created last year (!) in my first year as an Island Batik Ambassador.
I really enjoyed the challenges that being an Island Batik Ambassador gave me - I looked at them as creative opportunities.
Yes, it was a bit tough to keep up with the projects during the year. 😫
Yes, I sometimes struggled to come up with ideas for the various projects 🤔 but…
a big YES! I learned so much and really appreciated the chance to step out of my comfort zone and learn new techniques this past year! 😁
I have to say a big THANK YOU! to Island Batik and their sponsors, Hobbs Quilt Batting, Oliso, Aurifil Threads, Schmetz Needles, Funky Friends Factory, ByAnnie.com, and Studio 180 Designs for providing me with this opportunity and for sharing their amazing products with me and the other Ambassadors. ❤️
