Andrea stitched a bourse (drawstring bag) for me. The outside fabric is covered with cute houses, there are four wooden buttons in the corners and the inside design is Acorns and Pines from LHN. Isn't this little bag adorable? Now I have to try to make one of these!
In addition to the bourse, Andrea enclosed a sweet little plaque that reads "Having somewhere to go is Home. Having someone to Love is Family. Having both is a Blessing." She also sent a notepad and the Shepherds Bush pattern - Bluebells. Thank you so much Andrea!
I hope to post the exchange gift that I stitched soon - I think it has been received, just want to be certain before I post a picture.
Have a nice evening and thanks for stopping by!

What a delightful exchange!
*waves* Hi, so glad you received it and everything arrived in one piece. :) I was inspired by the Au Fil des Reves set I'm stitching at the moment. These bags are just sooooo easy to make up. :)
Take care. x

What wonderful gifts you got. I love seeing what everyone gets via the exchanges. I am so impressed with the bourse. As I was looking at the pics of it I was thinking "How do these people come up with this stuff?" I am just so blown away by the high level of stitching, finishing, and kindness found on these blogs. Just beautiful. Ann.
