Hi Cuties, here is number 1 hand towel with our beautiful Kookaburra design on it, for the travel agent in Queenstown who bent over backwards, so to speak, to get us home safely. I’m just about to start number 2 for the receptionist from St. Moritz hotel who was just gorgeous!! I’ll post them off tomorrow. Love Chris


The design is from an Australian digitiser called Glenn Harris.

OH WOW! That is so beautiful. What's not to love? I agree with others that it would be on display, not for use.

Absolutely beautiful. It will be treasured I am sure.
The best gift you can receive is the one you never expected so these towels will be a real hit.
If I am not wrong the design was digitized by a Queenslander.

Yes, hi Barb, he is a Queenslander. And yes, it's a magnificent bird and so well digitised. Love Chris

I have this design. Stitches out beautifully and I have added it to the top of some kitchen towels. Most go overseas.

Oh my!!! What a fabulous stitchout! The blending of different colors give it such a life like feel. I would not be surprised if he were to never us it, but just simply display it to enjoy each day.

Hi Penny, our travel agent was a woman, so I think she will display it at least. The blending is gorgeous, I agree. Love Chris

Awww!!! What a lovely way to say thanks to the folks who treated you and Trevor so well. And it's good to know that I am among the many who treasure the towel you made for me. I love seeing it every day and remembering the many who prayed for me when I was sick.

Hi Karen, this design is just like the Kookaburra who stacks our back window, almost daily!!! It is the best one I’ve ever seen. Love Chris

Beautiful Chris. So much detail. I bet the travel agent is going to love it. Now wether he/she is ever going to use that towel is another question. I would not 😊

Hi Angie, I've made this particular design for a lot of my overseas friends and they love it so much, they don't use it either, it's just for display!!! Loev Chris
