I sincerely hope that you have enjoyed following along the Limerick Blog Hop and I hope you have gotten many great ideas on how to use these delicious fabrics by Island Batik! I personally am so grateful to all who contributed to the success of this blog hop! I'm blown away by the talent of all the bloggers, both in terms of the magic they created, but also by the pictures they took, the videos they made, the posts they wrote, and even the poem one wrote! What great talent!!! Don't you think they deserve a round of applause?!!!
And, of course, none of these creations would have been possible without the generous support from the home team, Island Batik, and their amazingly talented Kathy Engle who had a wonderful vision and made all these stunning batiks see the light of day! Thank you! I hope you consider making some of these projects using fabrics from this fantastic collection!
I have heard from many of you who participated in this Blog Hop - thank you for your kind words and thank you for checking out all the beautiful projects that have been created thus far from these amazing fabrics! We all appreciate your participation! I hope we have inspired you to either recreating one of our projects or use these fabrics to create one of your own projects! Once you start using fabrics from the Limerick Collection, please share your project with us by tagging @quilterstreasurechest on both FB and IG, as well as using hashtag #Limerick! If you don't have the fabrics to go with your project, you can buy yardage at your local quilt store or on my website. My website sells them in half a yard increments. If you wish to buy the fabric as a kit, please email me the name of the pattern and the size that you would like to make and I will let you know the availability and the pricing.
I would like to remind you all about our giveaway! Please comment on everyone's post (whenever that is an option) and follow us on FB and IG. More information and links to the other blogs are in my first Limerick Blog Post. I will be drawing three lucky winners on February 9th!

To wrap up this Blog Hop, I'm going to share with you the other designs I made using this collection:
Dancing Albertina is such a fun project to make! It comes in three sizes: baby, lap, and twin! It goes together quite fast using the Corner Beam tool by Studio 180 Design. It uses a unique technique that I created for this tool. Normally, unless if you are paper piecing, you would need to have four seams to make this block. But with my technique, you only have two seams to a block! How cool is that? What this enables is that the points on the kite shape units will always stay sharp! And what quilter doesn't like that! If you are ready to try your hand at this, the tool can be purchased here and the pattern can be found here. |
Hedvig's Charm will become the go-to pattern for anyone wanting to learn how to use the Diamond Rects tool! This lovely pattern comes in two sizes: table runner and lap. The fabrics used from the Limerick Collection and their unique placement are the stars of this quilt, and the design is perfect to showcase these gorgeous fabrics! And, if you are into custom quilting, this quilt has a lot of negative space allowing your imagination to run wild! |
Henrika's Delight is sure to catch the hearts of your loved ones! It uses the Tucker Trimmer III and Corner Pop II tools by Studio 180 Design. It comes in lap size in two variations. I will be teaching this during one of my cruises, in January of 2025! If you are interested in finding out more about the trip, and how to sign up, please visit Stitchin' Heaven's website. I would love for you to come and join me on this exciting cruise and see for yourself why these quilting cruises are the absolute best way to vacation! |
Starry Gem II is a remake of one of my existing patterns. I love how the Limerick Collection fabrics made this pattern so fresh! The tools used in this pattern are the V Block and Tucker Trimmer I tools by Studio 180 Design. This pattern comes in three sizes: wall hanging, bed runner, and twin. Why not add some sparkle to your life with Starry Gem II! |
Sweet Maria is a design that brings you the effect of a double wedding ring quilt without those difficult curves. The lovely effect is the result of the Corner Pop II tool along with proper fabric placement. The delicate light blue fabric takes this design to the next level! Although not required, a Stripology XL ruler speeds up the process of making this quilt. This pattern comes in three sizes: table runner, baby, and lap. |
And last but not least, Treasures of St. Lucia! This darling pattern showcases all twenty stunning fabrics in this collection. The beauty and the harmony of the Limerick collection is evident! The careful placement of Corner Beam units adds to a wonderful secondary design. And the pops on some of the corners add sparks to this quilt. This pattern uses Corner Beam, V Block, Corner Pop, and Tucker Trimmer I tools by Studio 180 Design to allow it to come alive with ease and precision! This pattern comes in three sizes: baby, lap, and twin. |
I hope you have enjoyed reading along with Dona, Amy, Charisma, Toni, Nicole, Karla, Tracy, and myself! Thank you for your support, and time that it has taken to participate in this Blog Hop!
