Venus

Ohhhhhhh.. Botticelli's the birth of venus on fabric.... could it get any better?

YES! I have done detailed freehand machine quilting all over to add dimension, texture and interest.... and I just love her.

When I was stitching the red mantle, I found.... a RED MANTLE! *wink wink*

And so this has become a coveted piece by a feminist woman, who is going to stitch it onto the back of her denim jacket as a mark of her feminist nature.

Such a lot of work in this one, and it is so beautiful. I am very happy.
