Well, if you can’t getaway, go to the library for a good book! The Utica, NY Public Library opened in 1904. I love the inside of this Library.
The upper floors of the Utica Library are made of thick glass. I used to love coming here as a child.
In every box of fabric we Island Batik Ambassador’s receive, there is a secret bundle of the newly released batiks. I was lucky enough to be assigned Twilight Chic by Deb Tucker for Studio 180 Design. This is my third quilt from the Twilight Chic line.
Shaded Chic is based on BlockBuster # 35 Hidden Blossoms.
Each block has 8 Shaded Four Patch units and 8 Sliver units.
This block is made using Studio 180 Design’s Tucker Trimmer I & Corner Beam tools with the Shaded Four Patch & Sliver Technique Sheets.
Shaded Chic consists of nine 12″ blocks and measures 50″ x 50″.
Be sure to visit Island Batik to enter their give away of 20 fat quarter bundle.
