Finally I am posting my piece for the SOST Challenge.
(Sisterhood of Sagging T**S) Everyone had a blast with this subject and the results were really amazing, and soon to be posted on the QuiltArt site.
I got the idea from a photo of a fountain I saw surfing. It had a tree growing from the center, and it just said ZING! My first thought was "Old Woman Willow" But I wanted my woman to be lithe and sophisticated, a classy and contemporary of Old Man Willow. I decided she wasn't ancient enough (yet) to be Old Woman Willow. Commercial batiks, (fussy cut boobies - I didnt paint those, honest) hand dyed binding, machine embroidery & quilting.
When I cut out the shapes of the roots, one was definately needing a shoe.
The label was fun so I posted its picture here too.

G'day Claudia,
I find this very inspirational - love the colours just gotta say I love your blog & will be back... also love your abbreviations like SOST & UFO's [only learnt what that meant a few months ago & I have so many of them here ... ha ha]PIGS but what is TBF? and is fussy cutting meaning your cutting it to the line as such? OOroo ... Bethel of Bethania [Land Down Under...]
She is FABULOUS!!! I love it..what a hoot. You have captured the essence of women everywhere.
(And I'm so glad to know about SOST...I could be president of that group!LOL!)
