Copper Leaf

Kathleen V. Stuart

Fused fabics for background. Leaf was made by longarm quilting on dissolve fusible with copper metallic thread. I’m trying to step out of my box and try my hand at art quilting. I golf and saw a leaf like this on the course. I went home and decided to see if I could “quilt” one.
