You may recognize these leaves as one of the first pieces I painted when I received my Caran d'Ache Neocolors. After free motion stitching, I finally backed it (with hand dyed cotton that I brought around to the front for the binding) and quilted it. I found the perfect tree branch, sanded it and stained it for the hanger and sewed two loops on the back to hang with the branch (which is one of my favorite ways of hanging nature pieces.) There is also a single sleeve across the back for invisible hanging.
I'm so please with how this came out. Neocolors rock!
Gotta do more with those - maybe this weekend.

Beautiful, Cathie! I love the way this turned out, and remember the leaves when you painted them with the neocolors. Love this way of hanging too, it looks so natural, a "grown" wall-hanging! Great work, have a wonderful weekend

I like your blog, your stiches (much better than the ones I had to deal with recently!) and that device you've gioot to read books. Gotta read that post more closely!

Hi Cathie
I'd love to do a swap with you some time.
we can arrange something, maybe a little bigger than an inch and maybe to a theme or colourway to suit each other! Let me know, Carolyn xx
