Here's my unboxing photo gallery. It is really fun to get a box jammed full of beautiful fabrics from IB and wonderful tools for our industry sponsors. Here's just a few of the treasures revealed. Note the green Surprise package -a beautiful collection that will be revealed in November.
Let's start with the beautiful Island Batik fabrics.

2 collections of IB Gradations Gradations are 20 steps in one color going from very light to very dark. - Naturally Neutrals in 1o" squares and Ravishing Reds 2.5" strips which also work well with ...
Two sets of stash builder strips - strips are 5" wide by 42" and there are almost 3 yards in each package!
Awesome new collection - Peach Blossom in 2 1/2" strips with a light and brown coordinates.

A fabulous new collection: in 1/2 yard cuts: Flora Nova designed by Kathy Engle with light and dark coordinates. And note the coordinating thread from Aurifil. 40 weight thread to do edge coloring applique for our September Challenge.
And I received beautiful fabrics from several new collections to use for the October Challenge: By Annie's -"It's In the Bag". I'll be making the cute Room With A View containers. Look at those colorful zippers :) Annie sent the pattern, stabilizer, zippers, mesh, etc. - everything I'll need to make my new containers!
I received a box full of FIVE batts! Hobbs Heirloom cotton batting in fusibile natural, and black and a Hobbs Thermore Polyester batt too along with 2 Tuscany batts - silk and cotton! Great for a variety of quilting. They are our long time sponsor.
