Description:

I found the prettiest maple leaf while walking my dog yesterday. It inspired me to set up this swap:


. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

  • You will make one stitched leaf ornament using felt pieces and embroidery thread.

  • Make your ornament in the shape of a leaf or stitch a smaller leaf shape(s) onto a larger felt shape, such as a circle, oval, diamond or square. Die cut shapes are allowed.

  • Use at least 2 layers of felt and finish the edges with stitching.

  • Your finished ornament should measure at least 2 1/2 inches in diameter but can be larger if you wish.

  • Although you can begin with neutral colors of felt (black, cream, etc.), please stick with a fall palette of oranges, golds, browns, tans, reds and greens for the majority of the thread colors.

  • A simple leaf with stitched veining is a good place to start. What will make your ornament special is the added decorative stitches. Beads and charms are also a possibility and are at the sender's discretion.

  • Attach a cord for hanging.


Have fun with this one!
