Surprise from Lorchen!!

[Renata]

Yesterday I received a lovely package from the UK!! After watching Alex's show about scrap quilting, Lorchen offered to send some scraps to share to TQS members. I wanted to play along and now I have the most adorable bag full of new-to-me scraps!

Not only did Lorchen send fabulous scraps, she also wrapped them in an adorable lime green bag with a big white bow! The card is wonderful too -- it's a collage of some of Lorchen's own quilts!

Thank you so much Lorchen! I love everything you sent and your thoughtfulness especially. This weekend, I will be picking out some of my stash/scraps to send to you in return.

It's so much fun to exchange stuff with our quilting family!!

Great haul Michelle. Lorchen, I do not know where you get the time and energy.

How fun, Michelle and how nice, Lorchen!!! How do you find the time? Super-organized?

I love that little bag--great job Lorchen. Once again I see your generosity shining forth.

Wonderful Lorchen how kind. I have one of those cards as well. The lighthouse quilt top right is my favourite with orange water, fabulous

That just looks like way too much fun!

[Lorchen]

I'm glad, Michelle, that your scraps made it across the big pond and that you like them!

BTW, Lorchen, you are looking absolutely fabulous girl!

[Lorchen]

Thank you, Lynn! Five sizes less in knickers sure makes me grin all over my face.

LORCHEN! Did you make up the pattern for the cute little bag or is it someone else's pattern?

[Lorchen]

Ritzy, not something I designed or made. I was given it as a gift. It was filled with small bottles of bath stuff which I used. I decided that that bag would be much nicer than a boring zip lock bag for Michelle's scraps. I just filled it till I could only just close it. I had not seen this type of closure before. It's just a wide ribbon, stitched down all around, and with enough left to tie the bow. Very nice solution.
