It seems as if this embroidery design is very popular at the moment. Here is my offering. I made it into a small quilt and tried out a new method of finishing the quilt with a scalloped border. I just need to make a nice hanger for her and she will go into my bathroom. I'm trying to think of a name for this quilt. Maybe 'Bathing Beauty'? Any other suggestions?

Looks absolutely wonderful, Shirley. Did you put a sleeve on the back for your hanger? If you did, get a thin piece of dowel,drill a tiny hole in the center and then screw in a small picture hanger.You will find, though , that you will have to split the sleeve. Ricky.

Thanks, Roslyn. My DH wanted to know if it was a self-portrait!! The border is quite easy, it is done like you would do a facing on a garment. *4U

Oh Shirley - you have really made the 'Bathing Beauty' so wonderful - she will be a show stopper for sure - what a great idea. When you find that nice hanger and she is on your wall - take another picture - we would love seeing her there. Hehehe! Just fantastic work. *4U

Sorry it should have read: “Beauté Reubenesque” ? After the painter Reubens! This is a truly gorgeous quilt… Well done!

Dear Shirley,
Wonderfully stunning "Botticelli Angel"! Make sure you check after each guest has left, that they didn't fall in love with her too and didn't take her home!? ... ha..
Lots of Flowers,
Mary, Melbourne

Love the design and your quilt is beautiful. I'll never be able to do a scallop border. I still can't get the straight border right. LOL What can I say.... I'm still learning and a work in progress. As for a name, the 1st time I saw this design Reubenesque immediately came to mind. Or how about Pampered Beauty?
