April Showers with Island Batik

I do believe it's finally time around here, that we can put away those snow shovels and get ready for those "April Showers".
This month the "Island Batik Ambassadors" have taken on that challenge.

It was the perfect time for me to break out that pattern I bought, oh so many years ago and put some fabric to it!
:-)


This April Shower has sure brought us beautiful May flowers, hasn't it.


The pattern is one of Kim Schaefer's Calendar Quilts.
What a perfect time for me to start on them.
Island Batik Stamps (5" squares), are the perfect way to create 
the background. The center is from 
It gives us just the "splash" we need for a wet rainy day!
;-)
I dove into my scrap basket for the rest of the fabrics. 
You can never have too many batiks in your scrap basket. 
Hope you enjoyed my little "April Shower", and may your gardens 
bloom with joy!
