I am falling under the spell of Batiks. Lately I have been looking at them with new eyes. (no not glasses. I already have those). I have been going through different sites just pondering them, and what they might be used for.

I am really in big trouble. There are so many to chose from. I will have to be a millionaire to get all of them.....ahhhhhhh!!!

Oooh, batiks are so much fun! I just signed up for Fat Quarter Shop's monthly batik club. They now send me 12 different fat quarters of batiks every month ($30). I got my first squishy yesterday, and they're gorgeous! Batiks are just beautiful!

Batiks are such great blenders. I love working with them.

I think we all love batiks. The only problem I have with them is that I am a handquilter. They are more closely woven or the dying process makes them very hard to handquilt through at least for me.

I always thought they were pretty, but didn't realize how beautifully they transferred into quilts until I made one. I love the depth and richness that they give to a quilt! Unfortunately, I always get sucked into buying wild patterned fabrics...I should stick more with the batik types, they really make the prettiest quilts in my opinion. I'm debating making an Irish Chain...maybe I can find some pretty batiks to use for it!

I have spent 2 hours trying to get a picture of my favorite batik quilt to transfer but Olympus and HP seem to hate each other.
Had to move the picture all over the place.

Looks great.... and very cheerful... :lol: :mrgreen:
