Island Batik New Beginning Blog Hop



Welcome to my day on the “New Beginnings” blog hop the last blog hop for the 2016 Island Batik Ambassadors.  We have been asked to interpret our fabrics into the theme of "New Beginnings". The fabrics that were selected for me was from one of Island Batik new collections "Happy Hounds" by Kathy Engle. This Fabric collection is so cute; it has varies types of dogs and paw prints throughout the fabric collection, get it for the dog lover in your family. 

I have to admit I had a hard time interpreting the "New Beginnings" theme and the fabric together. But with a little work using EQ7, my favorite designing tool.  New Beginnings can even welcome a dog or puppy to your family, so I designed my newest pattern "Welcome Home Pooch!" to welcome them into the family.



The quilt measures 32" x 40", which makes a great lap or wallhanging.  Your dog will also love it to keep them warm on those cold, snowy days.  This pattern uses raw edge applique and piecing techniques to complete I used 11 different fabrics from the Happy Hounds collection all under 1/2 yards. The pattern will start shipping on February 1st,but you can pre-order now for the paper version. The downloadable pattern will be available starting February 1st.  

You can win a free downloadable version copy of this Pattern, by entering and commenting below. The drawing for this one will be on February 2nd the day after the Blog hop ends.

  9. What an adorable new quilt pattern, quilt and fabric collection. Funny, as I've been wanting to make a blue and brown quilt and this collection would be perfect for the queen size quilt that I want to make, but you've also inspired me to make your dog house quilt. Love it. Total #CreativeGoodness.
