Marie, thank you for sharing your wonderful sketchbook work. Beautiful colors and combinations. Use of just plain old leaves is inspiring.
ReplyDeleteHi Judy. Yes, leaves are certainly amazingly inspirational and useful in so many quilting techniques. I've just posted on the blog some leaf rubbings using watercolour pencils. They will hopefully soon be quilted up into little scatter cushions.
ReplyDeleteBye, Maureen.
