Healing amulet bag

I made this amulet bag for my partner in one of my craft swaps. She has a chronic illness so I decided to make it a healing bag and included crystal quartz (a healing stone) inside. I got the pattern from a wonderful book called "Crafts for the Spirit" by Ronni Lundy, but I modified it quite a bit. The outside is black suede (left over from curtains I made a while back), and the lining is felt. I embroidered the bead pattern, and the focal bead is genuine turquoise.

I really enjoyed making this, and it was quick to put together. I plan on making one for myself to hang in my car to protect against anxiety since driving is one place I have alot of it!
