Leafing Out




"Leafing Out" (not Flowering Out) was started in an on-line class with Ellen Lindner, which she calls "Design Your Own Nature Quilt". I chose a picture I had taken in our backyard to use as inspiration. I know the quilt looks like flowers, but it is meant to depict my "leafing out" into using some embellishments on a piece, sparkling sheers. Not much of a leap for some, but my basic guideline is "less is more", so it was a leap for me. The piece is raw edge applique, machine quilted, commercial fabrics and sheers.

Appologies

Having been reminded by several people that I have not updated my blog for some time, my New Year's resolution is to do some updating at least once a month, if not more! Thanks for any interest out there. 2010 is going to be a better year for me!
