I did know it was "batik scraps" and Island Batik at that. This was a prize I won from another blogger who is an Island Batik Ambassador. So a big thanks to Denise at For The Love Of Geese.
Many of you know that I love scraps because I love making scrappy quilts. So when Denise offered me a bunch of scraps in place of the pattern that I won, I said "Sure! that would be great."
Today I pulled this out of the mail box. Notice that it made it to the cutting table without being ripped open!
When I carefully cut open the priority envelope there was this neat ziplock bag inside. I may have started to breathe a bit more rapidly. My pupils may have enlarged.
Right on the outside of the bundle was this Moon and Stars fabric.
Mmm, I love this.
The way the darker brown fades into a rusty color and back to brown makes me smile.
Then I spread out the pieces and started looking at all of them.
Browns, tans, greens and blues.
There are strips and squares and some larger pieces.
I want to take them all and pet them.
I want to lay them out and see if I get some sewing inspiration.
And of course I want to look at all of the designs up close.
I love this squishy package.
Thanks Denise!
Until Next Time,
Stay Creative

So glad to make you happy. Don't forget to share me with what you make. But i thought it was more like a brick in that bag than squishy. lol
That a day maker bundle! Enjoy those new possibilities.
Wonderful!
Congratulations on the win, Gene. Those are some lovely batiks. I look forward to seeing what you do with them.
Enjoy playing/creating with your new fabrics.
You are going to have lots of fun with those scraps.
