I'm honored and so excited to show you the contents, as well as the challenge projects as the year progresses.  I have so much fun with the challenge projects, and know that my quilting skills have grown because of them.  All of the Ambassadors hope to inspire you to try something new, and to definitely find and buy Island Batik fabrics for your projects.  You'll love them.

Some still photos of the contents:
Aurifil Jade Vine thread collection, 3 spools of 50wt, 2 variegated and one solid.  3 packs of great needles from Schmetz, plus the guide to all the needles and their purposes, and the luggage tag.  Studio 180 Designs Star 60 tool.
