Ringbearer's Pillow

I finished Victoria's ringbearer's pillow tonight:

Victoria did most of the beadwork...

... and then yesterday our friend Helen finished the last leaf.  She was pleased when neither Victoria nor I could tell which one she had done.

I added one more pearl cluster, sewed front to back, attached the ribbons, and put a cluster of pearls in the center of the bow.

I sewed elastic to a piece of ribbon and attached it to the back for the ringbearer to slide his hand into... and it was done.

And here is the pillow Victoria set out to copy, putting a bit of her own spin on it:

This one cost $350!!! -- and that is why we make our own.
