Sketch Book.....Leaf Designs 3



A few more Leaf Designs

from My Sketch Book...



While camping last summer,

I was inspired to draw leaves

and fill them in with all kinds of fill designs:



Once the basic leaf design is chalked

out onto your fabric,

You can stitch out any fill design you like

Our place is a black bird sanctuary in the winter...







The black birds make a great silhouette against

the winter sky...






These images will make great thermofax screens!

You can stitch out any fill design you wish.

Wedding Star Quilt......In Progress



Wedding Star Quilt




This Quilt has been stored in a suitcase for the

last dozen years or more...





It is now up on the design wall.

We have a wedding in the family next summer.

I am hoping to have it ready in time!




The goats enjoyed the sunshine today:








I have their full attention...












They are very curious...














Wishing you Sunny Days!
