The Ultimate Home Decor Blog Hop - Pleated Effect Pillows and Giveaway

Today is the 2nd week of the

Island Batik 

Ultimate Home Decor Blog Hop

where all the new fabric collections are being showcased.

What better way to show the gorgeous new Island Batik fabric collections

than with a little home decor?

I'm thrilled to share my project today,

"Pleated Effect Pillows"

featuring the new Island Batik Winter 2019 Collection

by Kathy Engle.

I was so excited to receive the fabrics in my first
2020 Island Batik Ambassador Box

and

imagine my surprise when I opened the surprise package to find these

holiday-inspired fabrics.

Each pillow was stitched with Aurifil 50 wt #2890 and a Schmetz Microtex (Sharp) Chrome 70/10 needle.  If you haven't tried these needles, they are perfect for the tight weave of the Island Batik fabrics.

The pleated effect is so quick and fun to do.

I made a tutorial for you to give it a try.

It's a quilt as you go technique

with 

Hobb's Heirloom Premium Cotton batting

 in the middle.

will be coming to stores very soon. 

Perfect timing for holiday crafting. 
Be sure to ask your local quilt shop for Season's Splendor!
