A strong Parachute Shopping Bag can also be beautiful, such as this one showing my elegant pattern called Moon glow. The base colour is greenish grey, and over it lay leaf stems in the shades lilac, emerald, pink, and yellow. The yellow and green leaves really sing out and give an almost luminous look, which is how the pattern name came about. I was prompted to make the design when I found a leaf stem in late autumn, which had leaves that were becoming more mellow and irregular in colour, and in shape.
