Little Felt Bag

Today I have a pretty little felt bag to show you. It is made of black felt with multicolour applique in felt on the front. I've blanket stitched the edges in vivid pink. 

A few years ago I did a google search for free cross stitch patterns. This was retrieved under the heading Traditional Chinese Cross Stitch. The pattern is called Chinese Wedding2. It is actually based on traditional Chinese art - papercut. This is what made me use it for applique.

I understand that the Mandarin Ducks are a symbol for a loving couple. I think they mate for life like Swans.
