My CQ purse for wedding

Well I've finished my bag for my daughters wedding. I can't beleive she gets married next Friday. The months of planning have flown by.

I'm wearing a black chinese pant suit with a burnt cream velvet tassled coat with maroon,green and beaded flowers. I will post photos of this and others after the wedding.

I wanted to make myself something special to commemorate the big day, just for me. Selfish, no...I'm the mum and she's my baby girl. So something special for me was the order of the day.

The bag was constructed with a picture from Pat Winter and I dyed it to blend with the greens in bag. Then I needle felted the fabrics with wool around the picture. After the felted base piece was finished I embroidered and beaded to suit. Antique beads, crystal button, antique dyed lace motif were added. I attached the handle with beads and added bead edging all around finishing with bead fringing with crystals. Black felted hearts were added to symbolise the day of love (wedding).

Don't worry I have made the wedding cushion too, just lovelly. Not too bright in colour to overshadow the bride, just enough for interest. I also beaded her veil at the top, just enough, she doesn't like things to be over the top. Pictures for cushion in next post.

We had a dress rehearsal yesterday and she looks lovelly too. I've been waking up at night hoping we haven't forgotten anything. You know details like flowers etc. I'm sure all will be right on the day.

We had to go and get my DH fitted for his suit today and he brushes up very nicely. I love suits on men they look so gorgeous...

A black suit and vest. White shirt with maroon tie and kerchief to match me. Lovelly.
