A bag to cheer up a friend who is having chemotherapy. I hope she doesn't notice that the greenman (from Urban Threads) isn't quite in the centre of the text (a song lyric.)

There is a zipped pocket in the back of the bag. I used a leafy fancy stitch from my machine to do the handles and to stitch the zip in place.

Which song does the lyrics come from?

"The Green Man" by John Thompson of the Australian duo Cloudstreet. I think you can listen on their website.

Very thoughtful of you to make your friend a beautiful bag while she is going through her treatment. No one would have noticed if you had not pointed the error out. Why do we all do that. LOL

I have no doubt that this bag will bring a smile to your friend's face. The green man gives it character that will encourage folks to talk to your friend and make the hours pass more swiftly.

This will cheer her Sue. Hard to see your leaf stitch but really like the idea of using it. Also like your zipper pull/Lillian

He's a great design. Your bag is lovely and even if she does notice, I'm sure you'll never hear of it, because that doesn't even matter. :)
