I've been attempting this for awhile now and finally it came together. Outline of leaves with sheer fabrics and bits of string or other pieces of colored fabric sandwiched in between. I also hand stitched the leaves to be folded; more like a real leaf. I came up with all these different ways to use my wreathe.

Don't blame you, I'm not looking forward to our heat. We have it like California is experiencing at the moment!!! It gets so bloody hot here in Newcastle in the summer! Love Chris

Gorgeous! I may have to copy....

Thank you, this is indeed high praise. You are more then welcome to copy if you like. I was told these were 3D and just lying on a cloth after stitching out isn't very 3D to me so...

Your wreath is quite creative! Making all those little elements in various fall colors and arranging them just right really takes a good eye for design and placement. Fabulous!

Thank you for the complimentary words! I had to think about this and play for quite awhile to get it just right and then it just sorta fell into the right place. Thank you again. :)
