Leaves!

Leaves,

Leaves,

Leaves!

This is another great

background filler.

These can be quilted

large,

medium,

small,

or any combination of!

The sample here shows a 

large section,

and a 

small section.

Let's laugh at ourselves a little bit...

(you can't take yourself too seriously!).

This sample is from my first sample book,

I made this into a fabric book using large rings and eyelets.

(This is just easier to pack as I travel and teach!)

You can see, 

I put my eyelets on the bottom of several pages 

before I realized it...

LOL!!!

The sample is still good,

it just has a little decoration!

We are NOT perfect beings!

It's ok!

For this page,

divide your page into 2 sections.

On one side you'll quilt

Large leaves,

On the other side you'll quilt

Small leaves.

YES!

The movement of this design is similar to the 

Clams

we've just completed

8 samples of!

Yet,

the design is so different!

Here are the instructions...

As you can see...

sometimes when you draw something out,

it's not exactly how it gets

stitched out.

That's ok!

Remember,

the drawing is only to create

a muscle memory

for when you quilt it.

Stay dry today...

Living in the rainiest city 

is VERY wet!

(And it's raining EVERY day!!!)

Stitch the pieces of life together!

They make a BEAUTIFUL quilt!!!
