Hi Gals, I’ve just finished these 4 hand towels with Bee designs from Embroidery Library. I’ve left the days of the week off them. These are for the church fete in October but of course we won’t be there as we are in Italy for my birthday.
I was asked yesterday if I can make some shopping bags so I’ll give them a go. Wish me luck. Love Chris

Your work is beautiful. You have done a wonderful job, as always.
Shopping bags are easy to make. I made dozens of them for a bazaar before the pandemic ruined all of that.
Enjoy your trip!

Thanks so much Deana, I've decided to make a lined bag about 17x17 and just lined with 22 inch straps. I'm making them in black and white fabric, they will hide dirty marks that way. Love Chris

Thanks so much Laura, I've only made two so far. I've got a bad head cold (did a Rapid Antigen Test and I'm negative for Covid). I've got running eyes though as it's windy and I have dry eye syndrome, so they water more to keep them lubricated!!! Love Chris

Thanks so much, yes we have a problem over here in Newcastle, where the Verroa mite has decimated all of Newcastle's beehives. Love Chris

The towels are gorgeous, with the pouches and the yet to came shopping bags they will be a great attraction, will sell easily at the fete bringing money to support such a needed cause. Very generous of you.

Thanks so much Roberta, I hope they sell well too. I've made 4 bags so far, but you know me, they've got to be lined and sturdy!!! Love Chris

These are beautiful! Good to see you doing some embroidery! I am sure they will be a fast sell out. Looking forward to seeing your bags. Hugs, Suzanna

Thanks Suzanna, yes, it's good to be back sewing, just for a while anyway, until Mum returns from South Australia. Jewls is having a tough time with her, I feel her pain. I'll post the bags when I can. Love Chris

Very beautiful works of art. My yard did not have many bees of any kind either and reports of gardens are not doing too well food wise. We let the clover grow since it was too hot to mow and not hardly a single bee on anything. This is in KY, USA
