In this episode we’ll be joined by Jerry Khiev, a passionate and innovative leader from Island Batik and the newly-launched Lumin Fabrics.

We’ll dive into the fascinating world of batiks, fabric design, and what makes these collections so special — especially for us quilters and bag makers.

Along the way, we’ll showcase projects we’ve made using Lumin’s beautiful fabrics and talk about Childhood Cancer, too.
