Catherine Jordan led Nature’s Palette a few years ago at an EGA Mid-Atlantic Region meeting (https://melitastitches4fun.com/2022/09/17/thap-class-blackwork-on-natures-palette/). Catherine let us take extra leaves she had painted (acrylic paints). When I went to the two Guilds (I was so busy there are no pictures from either class), I had more fun painting the leaves than stitching them (https://melitastitches4fun.com/2022/11/02/painted-magnolia-leaves/). Catherine had given us a reversible blackwork pattern that was way above my pay grade.

Finally, I finished my second leaf which is just a grid and the third leaf has one small motif used in the first leaf.

It does make me happy to finish this. I glued (E6000) wooden dowels onto the back of each leaf and placed them in a vase for fall decor.
