This is yet another Christmas present - for my sister. The design is from Hatched in Africa and I managed to do the embroidery in 3 hoopings. Merry Christmas everyone. Cheers Claire

Thanks Lynn, it looks even better in real life as the hot fix crystals don't show up well in this photo. Cheers Claire

2430This bag is lovely. It is a great design. Could you tell me how you managed it in 3 hoopings and what machine you used. I am sure your sister loves the bag. *4u

Thank you. I used my design package Generations to combine the peacock body and the upper branch, it was the only grouping that would fit into my largest hoop which is 200 x 300mm (approx 8 x 12"). I used my Brother PR600 to embroider the design. All the people I have shown the bag to want one, and the same for the pink one I posted also!!! Cheers Claire

Thanks Ros, it's hard to get a good photo to show off the crystals. I put them on the body and tail of the peacock and on the large pink flowers and at the ends of the stamens - fiddly job but it was worth it. Hugs Claire
