Autumn Leaves

Leaves are a great design element. You can use them alone or put them with other designs. They are good for borders, for an all over design or as a focal design. You can stitch them in all colors from pale greens for early Spring to the colors below for Fall. Experiment with all colors and kinds of threads for these designs. They would look great in Metallics, variegated and all shades of green, red and gold. For the jacket I used Madeira Super Twist for two of the colors and got a great shimmer effect. Be sure to see the coordinating set, Free Standing Autumn Leaves.

Along with your designs you will receive a customized thread conversion chart for 7 brands of thread along with color swatches to help you choose the threads for your project. These designs were stitched in Admelody thread.

These designs are based on images from Dover Publications.

The jacket was made from the "Deja Vu Wrap" by The Sewing Workshop and was purchased at Bullard Designs.
