Stitching Sunshine- Island Batik Ambassador Free Theme! - Fragments of my Sunshine

Welcome to Creatin' in the Sticks

and

my day - the final day for the

Stitching Sunshine Blog Hop.

To all that participated or commented -

Thank you so much!

My head is swimming with all kinds of ideas

and I can't wait to get to stitching.

But first, it's my day to show my

"Fragments of my Sunshine" quilt.

I'm combining two challenges into one project this month.

You see, I am an Island Batik Ambassador 

2020

and the ambassador challenge this month is

Free Theme!

This is a free month for us to do whatever we like

using

Island Batik fabrics.

Why not make a little sunshine?

I've always wanted to make a mosaic tile project so I used fabric and made a mosaic sun.

I started with a whole lot of Island Batik stash builders (5" strips of fabric bundles).

Next, I used Island Batik Foundation Solid fabric in black for the background

and

drew out my sun.

I handpicked designs on my computer to use for my collage sun and with HEATnBOND® LITE 

I created the sun.

I chose one of my favorite Island Batik Foundation Fabrics, Tourmaline to use for the outside of the sun.  

There are a lot of little things about my life in this sunshine

so I called it

Fragments of my Sunshine.

Each and every little piece is special.

I quilted it by stitching around each piece with a rainbow of Aurifil 50 wt. cotton threads.

The Schmetz Microtex (Sharp) Chrome 80/12 needle 

helped to stitch right through all those layers.

The backing is Island Batik Solid, too.

(Sometimes you just have to show the back)

I had so much fun with this 40" x 40" quilt and love the vibrant colors of the fabrics.

We are celebrating Sunshine!

I have been craving a little sunshine in my life.

Something happy and fun.

No more cloudy days and blah.

So, I invited my blogging friends to
stitch something up with the color yellow or with a little sunshine.
