Purple embroidered silk/satin, bordered with a purple , gold emblazoned sari.....draped together to spice up a bare wall, with colour that shimmers. My friend Christine gave me both of these, pieces. I didn't know what to do with either of them at first....would have been fun to wear somewhere...even shopping, but figured C. River wasn't ready for it.Thought about quilting it, but was concerned that the fabric was too fine, too beautiful to ruin with stitching. Sometimes, it is best to leave well enough alone. I DID cut the brocade in half ,to make it wide enough to match the embroidery on each panel, threw it onto the quilt rod, tossed the purple sari over the edges, and presto: SHAZAM!
Thanks, Christine........you are one in a million.
