Greetje Hein – Nature #5

Modern leaf

For my 3th couple I wanted to zoom in and do a leaf.

I did the modern version first, because I need a picture of an autumn leaf for the real version. This picture I can take in a few weeks.

I used a hand dyed fabric as part of the background and strips of different fabrics for the striped part.

The  whole piece is machine quilted. Mostly with rulers, partly free-motion.

  2. Very striking, great choice of colours. It is interesting to see the idea of modern quilting representing nature. Lovely work.

  3. As I myself am doing leaves it is interesting to see a completely different take on the theme. Your quilting, as always, is exquisite.

  4. Minimal use of color emphasizes the work. The stitching are very beautiful.
