And layered the Lutradur with organza, then stitched some leaf shapes using Free Motion stitching:
And cut out using the stencil tool (forgot to mention that you need to use cotton threads for this, because rayon or poly threads will melt!):
Finished leaves ready for my quilt:
Some other ones I made last fall using a dead leaf as my template, and some orange organza on top of lutradur:
See you tomorrow for my last post of the month!
Your leaves are lovely. Don't limit yourself to cotton thread though, Rayon & Viscose come in fabulous colours and are both made from wood pulp, a naturally-occurring, cellulose-based raw material.
ReplyDeleteI am a quilter and making these leaves and other shapes will be a great addition! heARTsCreations.com
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful! I really must look into a stencil cutter... that is a great way to get those angled cuts!
ReplyDeleteI like that you used actual leaves as your templates. Sometimes I draw them and I'm not always satisfied so I will take a cue from you! Thanks
ReplyDeleteoh! This is fantastic!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the leaves!
