First Colors of Autumn, #2 (2009)

In early Autumn, as I took a walk on a warm, sunny afternoon, I collected the first 3 colorful leaves that I found! Each leave was traced onto paper and used as a pattern.

The leaf shapes were fused onto the background and threadpainting and free-motion quilt stitching were used to add detail, lines, and texture to the design.

Collecting Fall leaves remind me of walking along the beach and collecting colorful shells…no two are alike! Autumn leaves are visually awesome and inspiring to many artists!
