Four Generations of Love

 
 
The wedding dress was made of three layers.  The big question was how do I handle all three layers to make the border.  I ended up fusing the two under layers. 
 
 



I beaded some of the flowers just as I had done on the dress.
 
 
 
I think of this piece as Four Generations of  Love.  The four being: my daughter's wedding, the medallion in the lower left hand side was taken from my wedding dress and it was sewn on the end of her train; the sky is a picture my mother took and printed on material; and the backing is a printed pansy material, my grandmother's favorite flower.
