This gorgeous zippered bag is the perfect size for your everyday use.

Mr. Fox and Mrs. Chicken have come to visit the busy bees, maybe they are hoping for a delicious afternoon tea of scones and strawberry jam!!

I have had fun combining needle turn and wool appliqué with some of my favourite embroidery stitches.
