Last year I pinned this fabulous picture and never got around to making anything inspired by it. Then recently I found this, and really liked the idea of doing something canvassy rather than quilty. When my minimal-sewing friend Linda and I decided to do a craft morning, I thought this might make a fun project. We did kind of a hybrid of the two; the leaves are all fusible-backed and fused onto fabric. After fusing, we mounted them on stretcher bars to make fun fall-inspired wall art. It was such a stress relieving project, no worries about sewing or puckers or perfection; just pulling fun, inspiring colors and fabrics.
Here's the one Linda made, with mine underneath it. We were both thrilled with how they turned out!
It makes a super fun addition to my fall decorations which I just put up last weekend. Have you guys been doing any fall decorating/crafting lately?
what a fun/easy way to use up scraps! Did you cut the leaves out by hand or use an some sort of cutter?
