Batik Fabric Winner from Quilting Gail
Way back in August of this year, fellow blogger and friend Quilting Gail held a giveaway. Part of the Island Batik Ambassador blog hop, Gail held her own giveaway of some beautiful batik fabrics. Ooh-la-la. A few weeks passed between the post and the announcement of the winners – there are two of us who won – because she departed on a wonderful vacation adventure. Once she returned to real life that didn’t include an African safari, she realized she had a bagful of batik fabrics waiting to be sent out.
Batik Beautiful
Forty different batik fabric pieces . . . aren’t these just so gorgeous?! Because I said I love Fall, and these fabrics just summarize Fall with a Capital F . . . something needs to be made with these immediately. Quickly, before the snow we had on Halloween becomes the norm. Maybe a quickie, squirrel project for Thanksgiving. Hmmm. Yes. Thanksgiving.
Batik Runner
This is the table runner we whipped up for my boss for last Christmas. It had a few batik fabrics in it, but this one would be exclusively made from them. That’s one option.
A second option would be to create a runner similar to the one we made for Dar from the downsizing of her fabrics. This was also a quick make and would look great in these Fall colors.
This is another option that we made for William and Nicole for their bridal shower. It went together quickly but . . . Nah, I don’t think so. I like the first option better. The fabrics look like it will be easy to split them into a light-toned pile or dark-toned pile.
Do you have any suggestions for a different pattern? I am open to suggestions!

Oh Roseanne, I think the fabrics will look beautiful in whichever pattern you choose!
Happy deliberating, deciding and petting the fabric! 🙂
I’m catching up on emails after being gone a couple of days. I got my bundle too, and wowwie, it’s so pretty! Can’t wait to see what you make with yours. I’m still pondering over here . . .
Beautiful fabrics! Love all yuor ideas – what about fall leaves with them – and a black background??
I like them all but really like the first one for batiks. Anyway, it will look fantastic whatever you make you are so clever!
Wow! How wonderful to win and such pretty batiks too. I think a Thanksgiving table runner would be perfect for the season (without any snow!:)
What a fabric haul…and all free, too! HA! I vote for the first option…yum.
Lucky you! And any one of those three would be great. Or, what about making some pumpkins blocks for either end and doing a little bit of appliqué in the centre like I did for my October project for IB…. 😉 Love to watch you two chase squirrels!
Contrats! I like the first option!!!!! Hugs
Congrats on the win! The batiks are rich looking…love! 🙂
Have fun with these luscious fabrics!
Do you remember MMMQuilts Free Fall QAL? Love that pattern of leaves….not a quick one but not hard!
Congrats on the win, it’s a wonderful collection. Can’t wait to see what you do with them.
I think these autumn batiks would look awesome in table runner similar to the one you made for your boss last year. I have a few table runners in my head that I’d also like to make, but they’ll have to wait! Have a great day, Mary.
