Just finished these towels for some ladies overseas. Can't post till tomorrow as I'm just about to go and get Aqualina from pre-school. Love Chris

P.S. I meant to put up that this embroidery design is from Glenn Harris - Australian digitiser. The towels were cotton - one is a waffle style and the other is plain weave.

Thanks Yoriko. I used a medium weight stabiliser and used the same threads except for the browns - one was a bit lighter. I had the two machines going at once! One towel was plain weave and one a waffle weave. Love Chris

Thanks Marian, I was going to go more browns, but decided on the greys, blacks and silver with just a bit of brown on the wings. Love Chris

Beautiful, simply beautiful, Chris. This may be the most realistic rendering of any bird I've seen. The ruffling on the feathers is amazing. You did a great job, can you hear them call?

Hi Carolyn,

These birds are as you know one of Australia's most photographed birds! They have the most amazing laugh/call. I'm so lucky to have them here whilst nesting and of course in the back reserve too. Love Chris
