Sea Cookies – a new batik line and a FQ bundle giveaway!

May 3, 2023May 8, 2023 302 comments

Hi friends! Today is the Sea Cookies batik fabric reveal and giveaway!

Looking for the FQ giveaway? Go to the end of the post! 

Giveaway is closed! Thanks to all who entered!

Sea Cookies Batik fabric

Sea Cookies is my second batik line that I designed for Island Batik! I am so in love with this line. One of my favorite places to be is the beach. Sitting by the shore, watching and listening to the waves is my happy place. My calm, zen place.

So I was excited to work on a line that featured motifs from the shore.

The Drawings

To start the line,  I began by looking at all my sea shells. I have a collection of shells that I have gathered when I travel to the beach. I love my sand dollar and that was the main focus of my drawings.

Top US quilting blog and shop, Kate Colleran Designs, shares about her new batik line Sea Cookies and quilty projects created!

After making drawings, I pulled them into AI and cleaned them up and started creating patterns. I love the wonky edges, the hand drawn feel of the motifs.

And lots of play later, here are the fabrics! There are 6 different prints and each in 3 or 4 different colors.

The Sea Cookies name

You may be wondering where the name Sea Cookies came from. The main motifs in my line are from the Sand Dollar. This shell also has other names like sea biscuits, sand cakes and … sea cookies! It also is sometimes referred to as a flower due to the petal shapes in the shell. That is why some of my prints look like flowers!

I named each of the different patterns…

Sand dots… this one makes a great background in a quilt!

Sea Stars… like a nighttime sky

Sea Cookies…

Sand Petals …

Sea Cookie dots …

Sea Flowers …

Aren’t they fun???

The Projects

Dawn

Dawn is a flying geese quilt; I just love making FG units! In just one size, with a bonus leftover quilt option, this stunning quilt shines using some of the pinks and some of the blues in the line.

Don’t worry- this quilt is easier to make than it looks!

Dusk

Dusk is a medallion style quilt. I used more of the blues in the line to create this gorgeous version.

Top US quilting blog and shop, Kate Colleran Designs, shares about her new batik line Sea Cookies and quilty projects created!

This pattern has 3 sizes- a square medallion, a lap quilt made by adding top and bottom borders to the square quilt and a bed size quilt.

Sail Away

Sail Away is a pattern I designed a few years ago to use a panel from another fabric line. The panel quilt is a twin size but the pattern also had a lap quilt and a crib quilt. And there were sailboats! Of course I had to recolor the quilts using my Sea Cookies line! It was meant to be!

The lap quilt has lots of sailboats that are pretty easy to make.

And yes, there is one boat going backwards! It’s always fun to a little pop of surprise in a quilt. And how great is it that we got to take pictures of the quilts by the sea when we were on vacation in MA and RI? Just the perfect setting.

Top US quilting blog and shop, Kate Colleran Designs, shares about her new batik line Sea Cookies and quilty projects created!

The crib quilt uses big pieces of fabric to really show off the fun sea faring motifs!

Tote That!

I also made a tote bag using my pattern Tote That! I was able to use it to carry the quilts around while we looked for the perfect picture spots and then I also was able to get a shot of the bag by the sea.

And I even have a new strip pack quilt pattern coming soon. This is the quilt and it will be one of my postcard quilt patterns! I just couldn’t resist making another quilt with the fabrics.

    LOVE everything about this collection, the colors, the design. All beautiful. I would love to make a wall hanging from this collection. I have a new quilting studio in my home and and I am decorating my walls with wall hangings and sample blocks from all the quilts I make. My quilting home is my happy place. These prints would make it even happier for me.

    They’re all beautiful and that they are batiks is even better. Of the quilt designs, my favorite is the sailboats. I started one similar and they’re all batiks as well. I added different weather for each one, sunrise/set, full moon, quarter moon, stormy and sunny skies and one with stars out late at night.

    Kate, I loved reading about your process in designing this new fabric line – fascinating!!! I think my favorite project that you showed is the crib quilt. It is just adorable! And my friend will become a first-time grandma in July. Hmmmmm, I would definitely make that quilt for her new little love. Then if I had any fabric leftover, I’d gift myself your cute tote! I have had my eyes on that pattern for a while now – it’s time for me to get it! ????

    We make quilts for the Children’s Hospital and batik is first choice. It lasts longer and gets softer with age and stands up to the heavy washing and high heat needed to sanitize the quilts. “Sail Away” is my favorite pattern for the kids, boys or girls, sometimes I only use 2 boats, sometimes I make some bigger – Such a great pattern!

    I have needed a new “purse” for weeks. As much as my old bag has become embarrassing, nothing has appealed to me to replace it. As an artist, the things I wear and care must make a statement. Your tote, THIS ONE is perfect! I’m excited to begin the process of replacing my old eye sore. These batiks with the colors and peaceful designs are simply enchanting! Thank you so much for what you do!
