Beautiful purse ! My heart goes out to you at the loss of you Mom; I too lost my Mom 24 years ago and it seems like yesterday until I realize the age of my children. No on replaces a Mom....
Enjoy the fabric find... I made a quilt of some of the fabric from Mom's closet and hand quilted a queen size quilt just to keep looking at the fabric and feeling it..grieving while quilting. My thoughts and prayers to you.
