Island Batik Ambassador's Hot Stuff Challenge with Oliso

This month the Island Batik Ambassadors were challenged to decorate Mini Iron Carry Bag from Oliso.  They fit our M3Pro Mini irons perfectly.  The M3Pro is my favorite mini that I've ever owned.  It's light and has a great silicone pad to rest it on and cover it with when traveling.  But my favorite feature is the headlight it has.  It's so helpful when doing thing like ironing black binding in half.  You can see it!




For this challenge I decided to use up some of my applique scraps.  When I use fusible I throw decent sized scraps with fusible attached in a bag.  Then I have some when I need a little something.  

I adore circles.  I decided they would be the perfect addition to my iron cover.  So I pulled out my Accuquilt GO BIG! and got busy cutting up my scraps into circles.  It ended up taking a lot of scraps to make enough circles for the entire iron cover, but it was so fun!  Then all I had to do was iron them on.  


A fun feature of the Mini Iron Carry Bag from Oliso is that it has a hole in the front for the silicon pad to poke out of.  It's a great feature.  

It's fun to look at all these dots and remember past projects and collections they were from.


Now my iron is ready to go somewhere.  Looks like I need to find a retreat to go on!

I hope you get to quilt today!
