Island Batik Ambassador Unboxing – January 2021
In an earlier blog post I announced that I was one of 24 Island Batik Ambassadors for 2021 and that I would be presenting a video showing all of the wonderful products I received. Well that time has come, and I’m excited to say that my Island Batik Ambassador unboxing video is now up on my YouTube channel.
Disclosure: The products in this post were provided by Island Batik.
Wait until you see all of the gorgeous batiks I received, and that I have already started working with (see my January placemats pattern). In addition, there were lots of other goodies from our generous sponsors. Like I said in my video, (way too many times) I was overwhelmed and super excited.
As an Island Batik ambassador, we receive two deliveries of products a year. With them, we make a challenge project each month. I have all kinds of ideas and patterns swirling around in my head that I am looking forward to sharing with you all.
So without further ado, here is my unboxing video for January 2021. I have also provided plenty of photos of the eye candy below. Just look at all of those beautiful fabrics. Enjoy!

January 26, 2021 at 3:42 PMGreat video! I laughed when you said you’d use the strip that wrapped some of your fabrics together–I’ve used at least one of those in my past projects, too! š
