The past couple of days were very hot here (cooler today, thankfully) so there wasn't much happening in my sewing room. I did manage to convert this fabric...
by painting it...
and then giving myself semi-permanent pleats in
my fingers from the scissors while fussy cutting
all the leaves...
The final step was adding the veins and now I have
a pile of maple leaves for adding to my barn project....
Today your quote is from Winnie The Pooh & Piglet..."Piglet: "How to you spell love?" Pooh: "You don't spell it, you feel it"
Mary Anne you are so clever!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, that's an impressive pile of leaves!
ReplyDeleteWow Maryanne these leaves look awesome what a big job to paint them,well done my friend xx
ReplyDeleteThose leaves are fabulous. I don't wonder your fingers are a tad pleated. Such a brilliant idea. Can't wait to see them in your barn picture.
ReplyDeleteWow! Very cool leaves!
ReplyDeleteYour fabric conversion was a fabulous idea.
ReplyDeleteI am continually amazed and impressed by what you come up with, Mary Anne. :) And I love the Pooh quote.

Wow! Mary Anne, what work you gave yourself with those leaves but they turned out beautifully! Glad your sewing room is cooler! Christine x
ReplyDeleteI have severely missed you and your blog. We have moved and gotten our furniture and goods yeserday. So much to unpack and of course hubby was right...I have waaaaay tooooo much stuff for this smaller home. We will sleep in our own bed tonight! I love Pooh and Piglet...xo
ReplyDeleteGoodness, Mary Anne! That was quite a job, painting and then cutting all those leaves. They will look great on your barn.
ReplyDeleteGlad it’s cooler for you!
Hugs,

That's dedication. I've had those ridges before.
ReplyDeleteGreat job on those leaves. Lots of patience with the fussy cutting. Look forward to seeing them used in your piece.
ReplyDeleteI think I commented on the wrong post for the leaves! Closed the page and then here was this again. Oh well, great job on these. The heat is getting to me , I think (grin).
ReplyDeleteWow, you're dedicated, that looks awesome!
