My swap partner was Wilma and her theme is "Thinking of France".
There were a lot of things that I could have done but whenever I think of France I think of Paris fashions.
I have a wonderful piece of fabric that has ladies dressed in very fashionable clothes so I cut one of these out to use.
The background is silk fabric with a piece of gold mesh over it and then the lady was appliqued onto this.
I stitched the words Paris Fashions on my Bernina and added this to the page.
I finished up doing a zig zag edge in purple thread to finish it off.
I know that Wilma likes it and I was very happy to make it for her.

Lovely! Very elegant.
I like Paris.
Perfect. I think of fashion too when I think of France.
Fantastic Doreen, very chic.
I am madly hand stitching the last bits on my sea angels to go to Melbourne Wednesday morning.
Cheers

Gorgeous Doreen - I bet Wilma was delighted. We have a programme on TV at the moment showing Art Deco fashion in Paris - just wonderful!
Oh wow Doreen... what a very 'sassy' Parisienne lady. Beautiful colours and beautifully stitched.
I love your 'pounded' iris atcs as well. They could be watercolours... they are so delicate.
p.s. Looks like we will both be getting a Zutter for Christmas then?!! I must keep reminding myself to be a good girl!
A real Sophisti-cat - looks good Doreen !
What a fun and colorful piece!
