With autumn quickly approaching and the leaves close to falling from the trees, I thought I’d put together a group of leaf closeups. These images are all details from Pocketful of Posies illustrations. If you already have the book, you can have some fun picking out which pages they come from. The first image is about life size, but the others are blown up so you can see the stitching better. And yes, it’s all hand done. I’ve also got a leaf theme going on my Facebook page this month.

Lovely! I have spent much time looking carefully at the intricate stitching of your leaves and other botanical designs…

Just gorgeous! Some of the leaf shapes are so simple, yet your stitches and colors so defining. Thank you so much for sharing ….!!!!!
What beautiful whimsy! I love what you do and how you do it.
I love your leaves. I keep wanting to do some and then time gets away from me. Soon!!!!
