Island Batik - Back to School Blog Hop

Hi!  Welcome to Masterpiece Quilting !

I'm Nancy Scott and I'm one of the 2017 Island Batik Brand Ambassadors.  

I'm so excited you are participating in our Back to School Blog Hop and Thank You for stopping by my blog.  



The line that I am working with is Sakura - A Signature Collection by Kathy Engle for Ebony Love of LoveBug StudiosYou can see the full Sakura line on Island Batik's website.  Also be sure to check out all the beautiful quilts made with Sakura in the Island Batik Spring / Summer Catalog


Be sure to look for the Sakura line (as well as all the other gorgeous Island Batik fabrics) at your local quilt shop - they should be arriving soon!  If they don't have it in stock, don't be afraid to ask them about carrying Island Batik fabrics.  

Earlier this year, I made a small "Salesman Sample" to be used by the Island Batik sales reps featuring each of the fabrics in the collection.  In case I haven't said it before - I absolutely adore this collection - it is so ME!


For my Blog Hop project, I used my Black & White Express pattern but changed it up by using the full Sakura Collection.   Here's the original Black & White Express quilt. 




And here is my remake using the Sakura fabrics. 



I'm not sure which one I love the most - the pattern really showcases the fabric. 

As a special bonus to celebrate the Back to School Blog Hop, until the end of September, I have special pricing of $6.95 for pdf downloads on my Black & White Express pattern.  

I'm also giving away a pdf copy of the pattern. 
The giveaway is open to anyone with an email address so I can send you the pdf.  

To enter the giveaway, leave a comment here about your favorite Back To School memory and for more chances head over and follow me on IG @MasterpieceQuilting and for even another chance, like my FB page Masterpiece Quilting. 

The winner will be chosen next Thursday, September 14th. 






Speaking of favorite school memories - mine was always recess!  Even though I was a good student, I was a farm kid - so I loved (and still do love) to be outdoors and recess was my only chance to run around, look at the sky and enjoy some sunshine.   So it's only fitting that I my quilt to the playground for a photoshoot!  

Here it is lounging on the bleachers.  By the way, this is a perfect sized quilt to make for watching fall sports. 


And then we tried out the swing - but we didn't have anyone to push us!


We had a lot more fun hanging out on the fence!  Aren't fences made for climbing anyway?


We tried the teeter totter but that didn't go so well !


And before the bell rang, we had to try out one last piece of equipment!


I hope you enjoyed my Back to School adventure and thanks for visiting my blog. 
The blog tour has just begun and continues until the end of the month.  Be sure to

  2. My favorite memory of school is my son's first day of school. I was ready to walk him up to his class and talk to his teacher but I was stopped from even getting out of the car. I had to watch him get in line and walk into class with his classmates. I still had to smile or I would have cried.

  18. I always loved going back to school each September as a child and I couldn't wait to listen to whatever read aloud book the teacher chose. But - my favorite memory is the look on the faces of my students when they entered my room on the very first day with all the exciting projects yet to come.

  19. I remember that when I started school we still wore dresses, that began to change in elementary school and I can remember being allowed to wear pants. I also remember the new school that opened in 2nd grade and we had a goldfish pond in the entry hall, so cool!

  23. My best back to school memory is from second grade. I had a witch of a teacher in first grade and we had no public kindergarten. So, I started second grade with despair. I was thrilled that we had a lovely teacher - she was not a pushover, either. It was a wonderful year.

  37. Thanks to Dr OSAGIE for helping me increase the size of my Penis. I have been married for 10 years and due to my small Penis I was unable to satisfy my wife and that made us childless and my wife planned to leave me I was really disappointed with myself and I was also having weak erection I thought all my hope was gone not until I saw a testimony on how the same Dr OSAGIE helped someone increase his Penis size. I was desperate to do anything to regain my sex life back and I contacted him and he promise to help me so he gave me a herbal mixture which i was using and after three days I began to experience changes. I am writing this testimony not only because he has helped me increase the size of my Penis, I can now satisfy my wife and my wife is three months pregnant. All thanks to Dr OSAGIE if you are having a weak erection problem or small Penis size contact him with his email:drosagiesolutionhome5 @ gmail. com or whats app him +2347035866588.
