You are a abeautiful bride. That will be so sweet to have for the ring brearers...Also a hanky for the bride, or a baptismal napkin for grandchildren would really be special, if you baptize infants and children....a couple of baptismal/christening gowns for infants. I made our daughters dress, sllip and bonnet. she will be 40 this year, and did counted cross stitch on the hem of her full name, birthdate and baptismal date, then her first 2 children were baptized in her dress also and I did the same counted cross stitch for each of them in the pink or blue thread...and added a tiny ribbon for the appropriate color, therre is so much you could do with your wedding gown...unfortunately I gave mine away to a little 9 yr old deaf and mute girl, but she had so much fun with it, I am not sorry, but would have been nice to have to make the dresses with...

Very touching story, but I can not believe you make a crazy quilt out of your wedding dress. I imagine how difficult it was to make the first cut.

Your wallhanging is wonderful, the pic of you is beautiful.
These suggestions are fabulous.
