I spent a chunk of late winter – spring working on a collection of embroidered project bags for beautiful London store Loop - you can find them for sale here.

Susan, who commissioned them, bought a selection of jewel-coloured Swedish linen from a neighbouring shop and sent it to me to be embroidered. She has great taste, and it was fun to work with colours I don't usually pick out. One example is the vibrant pink you can see in the middle photo above, which i embroidered with clusters of white flowers.

The pink reminds me of a panel of textured glass in our front door, with the light shining through on a bright day.

    These are delightful Melissa. Would love to visit the “Loop” shop in London. Just had another heatwave day here-38 degrees. Can’t wait until Summer! Have a good Wellington Friday. Cheers

    Hi Melissa
    These are beautiful, I am able to go into Loop when I visit London so will look out for them when I am next in, although they may have all sold out by then.
