I love to create collections showcasing all the talents found in my friends in Indonesia. Each year, at Riley Blake Designs, we create 5 different releases for Expressions Batiks. Multiple collections are featured in each release. A release is when we get to showcase all the hard work to our sales team so they can show it to quilt and sewing shops around the country. Usually, these collections aren't arriving to stores for 6-8 mos after a "release".

Unique and elegant design
What have you created recently in batiks?! Have you looked closely at your favorite batiks to see why you just love them? Is it color that draws you in, is it the design or is it mixing them all up together to create something truly unique and timeless?
