Stephen & Dee's Chuppah

I haven't been in my studio in a l-o-n-g time, partly because I was suffering from post-exhibit stress (apparently it afflicts many artists who feel a let down after an exhibit of their work), partly because of Pesach and being away from a routine, and partly because I was stalled on Stephen and Dee's chuppah.
My starting point was this: using Dee's clan's tartan and words from the wedding "seven blessings".
I made templates for the lettering, fused steam-a-seam to dupionni silk, cut out the letters and fused them to strips of the tartan. So I had twelve words fused onto tartan.
I wasn't happy with the background fabrics I had purchased (not to worry -- they will be used in other projects) and the synthetic organza I had just didn't seem right.
On Thursday, I came home by bus so "had" to go by the Fabricland at Empress Walk at found a semi-sheer synthetic drapery fabric in white. It has white on white flowery embroidery. Once I had the background with it's visual texture, things started falling into place. I sandwiched the word panels with a layer of blue tulle on top of the lettered tartan fabric , a layer of thin batting, and a blue backing. I am going to bind them in the tartan colours. I was going to use the polyester suede but it was too clunky. So I opted for cotton. So far I have done one in red. I just have to find the other colours I need ( chocolate brown, a beigey-white, a hunterish green and maybe a blue, although that's pretty much the dominant colour in the tartan so maybe not.
Once I have them all bound, I will decide on their placement (it's also tricky because although the panels all the same 4" length, the width of each panel is different, from three letters for "joy" up to eleven for "brotherhood" . (It's so much more easy in Hebrew -- all those words are three and four letters so they can be identically sized panel [thinking ahead for Johanna and Warren's chuppah]).
Once I have the placement, more or less, I can figure out the additional stuff such as small panels with silk ribbon embroidery, beading, embellishments, etc.
I will try to post a photo so it makes sense.
